I played the ps2 version and I own the PC verson of GTA3 and yes I did have a lot of difficulty getting it to work but once I got it to work, it played like a charm. I also found it difficult to navigate using the controller as opposed to the keyboard+mouse combo but thats probably because Im so used to the latter

They wont be allowed to release it for other consoles but according to Sony, the PC is not a console and operates on a different market than the PS2. Therefore, they will be releasing it on the PC (well, most likely) but as far as Xbox and Gamecube (pffffffttt) they probably ont release it on those.

No kidding. Gamestop is already bumping orders to ship November 4th, and that started like last week. Apparently Bestbuy's are getting it either tuesday/wednesday, but they won't have them out when the store opens.

I preordered from EBGames about two weeks ago, with overnight shipping ($8), should be here on Tuesday :)

Edit for a lost day :D

That's exactly what I did, but the lady said it was *shipping* monday with overnight, thus getting here tuesday.

If you selected overnight you'll have it on Tuesday, two-day shipping will get it on Wednesday.

They updated the Delivery Status on the site, but I can't seem to get it to load now :eek:

I work for Gamestop.

Reserve wise, we destroyed the competition. We had over 2x the amount of reserves any other carrier has.

We were sold out of the 10/30 release date back in early September.

However, they are still taking the 11/4 reserves. The nice thing about that is that if someone doesn't pick up their 10/30 reserve, we'll sell it to the 11/4 people :)

Sony and Rockstar signed an agreement earlier this year. Sony paid Rockstar in excess of several million dollars to make all GTA games from now til the end of 2004 PS2 exclusive.

There will be no Vice City for PC.

The PS2 exclusive deal was signed well after GTA3 came out for PC.

I'll say it again, Vice City won't be on PC. Rockstar is very open about the games they are developing. If they were going to put Vice on PC, we'd know by now.

dammit i need another game to get in on the amazon deal(buy 2 get 1 free)

so far I'm looking at Kingdom Hearts, Tekken 4, and then I'm lost....I've got ViceCity preordered @ EBGames, so that doesn't leave me much option...

I'm thinking NBA Live 2003, maybe Onimusha 2, I dunno though. Any input from some gamers on this one? :D
