|  When upgrading to a new generation console, I chose to go with the PS2 initially, as the PS1 was my games machine of choice (even though I owned a SEGA DREAMCAST at the time). After a while I played a few games on the XBOX (Halo in particular) which made me part exchange the PS2 for the XBOX. Now, a year after purchasing the XBOX (which was also co-dependant on the fact that Rockstar Games were going to produce a copy of GTA3 with enhancements), Im still happy that I got the XBOX. I just miss the PS2, because the GTA franchise was bought by SONY.  After reading a recent article though - Rockstar are bringing their award winning franchise to the XBOX!!! (Hopefully with the chance to burn your own 'choons' and do a drive-by to some '50 Cents'!). Can't Wait.............................................. ...  |

|  Right now Sony is fighting this and its highly doubful the actual game will be on Xbox since it is a PS2 'exclusive' They will need to do 'more than just change the name' for this to compensate says one Sony exec. Vice City to Xbox Recently, speculation has circled the video game community about Rockstar bringing the Grand Theft Auto series to hopeful Xbox owners. This May, CEO of Take Two Interactive, Jeffery Lapin was quoted saying, "there will be an Xbox SKU from Rockstar in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2004 but we're not going to comment on what it is at this point." Of course, anyone who read this immediately thought of the company's most popular franchise: Grand Theft Auto. Certain sources are today commenting that it does indeed look like the title Take Two is alluding to a GTA game. Kind of. The Grand Theft Auto games are a Playstation exclusive. Word is that Rockstar plans to release "Grand Theft Auto Vice City" on the Xbox simply titled "Vice City" - thereby magically disassociating it with GTA. Interesting. Can they do that? Assuming all of this is true and more than speculation and codswallop, Xbox owners could probably look forward to improved graphics over the PS2 version and also a custom radio station using the Xbox hard drive (which is an option for the already released PC version).

| Just my two cents, but I would take an XBOX over a PS2 7 days a week and twice on sunday.. But then again, Bill Gates is my Hero.. Alexander
