I hope the PC version comes out at the same time! None of this "2 weeks" crap. Even though I don't mind the PS2 - the PC will always be the superior gaming platform. |

As with GTA3 and VC, it's gonna be at least another 6 months for the PC version to come out. I'm not too bothered about that, but I hope they go a little further toward customising the controls for the PC than they did in the previous titles, especially in the realm of flying. |

As far as I know, RockStar signed an agreement with Sony before GTA3 came out, ensuring that each title would be a Playstation exclusive - so we're gonna have to wait as long as we did for Vice City. Most of us know peeps with a PS2 so its not so bad.... |
