New GTA "Packages" Announced (It's not what you think)

Looks like Rockstar is gearing up to milk the GTA license some more... (surprised? I am not.)

Cutting past all the PR fluff... Xbox is getting a compilation package of the last 3 installments aptly named Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy and the PS2 will get Grand Theft Auto: Special Edition. PS2 is getting a better deal (at least in my opinion) as it offers a documentary called "Sundary Driver" and the Introduction, the special disc that came as a pack-in with the San Andreas soundtrack. PSP will also see a release of Sunday Driver (possibly set to ship on Oct. 18 as well).

where've you been, bahn? Haven't seen you around in a while.

This makes me glad that I waited to get the Xbox double pack. Good news. This is also a great way for them to get out the revised versions of SA with a minimum of attention being paid. It does appear that the PS2 isn't getting the trilogy and the bonus stuff, just the bonus stuff and SA.

What does the Xbox version have that the others don't?

progressive scan, custom soundtracks, higher quality textures, and dolby digital 5.1.

I was just here the other day.

...posting in random threads like the Burnout Revenge one where Chux and I are disappointed at the lack of TNL participation online.

Since the only GTA game I've ever played was GTA2 on the PC, I wouldn't mind picking this up, if it were incredibly cheap. GTA3 & Vice City barely go for 10$ these days.

Lol, sorry! I meant "what do the new Xbox releases have that the previous Xbox ones don't?"
