Rockstar Games Announces Release Date for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on PlayStation 2

NEW YORK -- April 18, 2006 -- Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today that Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system will be in North American stores on June 6th, 2006 for the MSRP of $19.99 and will hit European retail shelves on June 9th, 2006 for EUR 29.99 and GBP 19.99 in the UK.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories has been the platform-defining release on the PSP(TM) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system worldwide since its October 2005 launch. The all time #1 selling PSP system game, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, offers PlayStation 2 owners a big screen experience of the same story line and missions, featuring the interactive open environments, innovative gameplay, superb voice talent and diverse music that are the hallmarks of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Well that's great and all, but I sure hope they lower the price of the PSP version. I've been putting it off since it came out because I refuse to spend 50 bones on a portable game, GTA or not. I mean really, Xbox360 titles are only 10 bucks more than Libery City Stories is for the PSP. Surely gamers will jump all over this for 20 bucks on the big screen, but those of us wanting to kill time at work are the ones that ultimately suffer from this. Yes, I know, I'm one sad, sad dude.
