Grand Theft Auto 3 makes its way onto the PlayStation Store

If you have been following the Grand Theft Auto franchise, then you probably know that that Grand Theft Auto 3 was the first GTA game that allowed players to play from a 3D third person perspective, compared to GTA 1 and 2 which offered a top down perspective in 2D, both of which were and are still extremely fun. In any case if you haven’t played GTA before and are clueless as to all these GTA references made in pop culture, Rockstar has announced that GTA 3 is now available for purchase from the PlayStation Store for $9.99/£7.99/€9.99. This is most certainly not a new game, especially with GTA 5 pegged for a possible 2012/2013 release (depending on which rumor you want to buy), but for those who are looking to relive a classic, or perhaps looking to try it for the first time, just head on over to the PlayStation Store to get your copy!

GTA 3 for PSN runs into last minute delay due to licensing issues

The other day we reported that come 31st of July (today), Grand Theft Auto 3 would be making its way onto the PSN. For those who were looking forward to it, you’ll probably have realized that the game is missing from PSN. The reason behind the delay of the release was due to some licensing issues that they encountered with a particular audio track. According to Morgan Haro, the PlayStation Community Manager who posted on the PS Blog:

“There were some last minute issues with getting clearance for a certain audio track in the game; but the teams at Rockstar are on it to review how to best get this title on PSN.”

No word on when it will see a release, but be sure to stay tuned as we will keep you updated on its progress.

Grand Theft Auto 3 heading onto PSN 31st July

Heads up PlayStation gamers, if you’ve yet to play Grand Theft Auto 3 or if you’re simply looking to relive some memories of the good old days before Grand Theft Auto 5 hits the shelves (still no word on release yet, unfortunately), you’ll be pleased to learn that GTA3 will be headed onto Sony’s PSN on the 31st of July and will cost you $9.99. The game will be the same as the PlayStation 2 version, so don’t expect to find new and higher quality textures or graphics, but should prove to be just as entertaining as it was back then anyway, we hope.
