Good news everyone, the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is coming to the PlayStation Network this week, joining Grand Theft Auto III in the PS2 Classics section.

Now sadly again with it being a PS2 Classic, this does mean it's just the original game, no HD upgrade, no Trophies/Achievements, just the original bare bones classic that you all know and love, perfect to pick up and replay again to get you in the mood for Grand Theft Auto V next year.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be available on the US and EU PlayStation Network from this Tuesday (US) and Wednesday (EU), the game is already available on Xbox Live in the Games On Demand (Xbox Classics) section.

Those of us that have been around in the GTA community for several years can undoubtedly remember the wild uproar that surrounded one of the most downloaded mods of all time: GTA San Andreas's Hot Coffee Mod by PatrickW. This simple mod unlocked a side game allowing CJ to have sex with his girlfriends, but it also unintentionally unlocked a whirlwind of controversy surrounding the game, including a few lawsuits and an Adults-Only ESRB rating, effectively shutting San Andreas out of most video game retailers.

Video game site Eurogamer.net has decided to revisit the controversy with some transcripts of emails and phone conversations between Rockstar Games president Sam Houser and his associates, along with quotations from PatrickW, the modder himself, describing the situation from his perspective.


The article is a rare look at Sam Houser's vision for the Grand Theft Auto series, and how important it is for him to constantly be pushing boundaries:
While general mischief always seems to be the goal in the Grand Theft Auto series, I can't say I've seen a game in the series push the envelope like San Andreas did. The Hot Coffee Mod seemed to be a very traumatic experience for Rockstar - let's hope that their willingness to stir up some controversy isn't lost in GTA V.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has let slip on an unannounced version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the Playstation 3.


The ESRB also rated both GTA III and Vice City earlier this year, but since then only III has had its release. It can be assumed both Vice City and San Andreas will be available on the Playstation Store soon, but we'll have to wait for an official announcement from Rockstar before that happens.

This remix is well known on YouTube but it hasn't been done this well before, which is why I'm posting this version up, so here's California Love vs. The San Andreas Theme by Yuzoboy.

Microsoft has revealed the latest "Deal of the Week" for Xbox Live members and it's sure to gain the interest of GTA fans. Until March 22nd, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is available for just 800 Microsoft Points - a saving of 400 points on its normal price.

Rockstar's Max Payne 2 is also available for the same price, but to take advantage of either offer you'll need to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber. Both games can be downloaded from the "Games on Demand" section of the Xbox 360 dashboard.

Statistic tracking firm NPD has revealed a list of the top ten video games sold in North America since it began recording data back in 1995. According to the firm, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the third biggest seller in that time.

In the data provided to Industry Gamers, San Andreas is the only Grand Theft Auto title ranked in the top ten. Wii Play and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock managed to beat it to the higher spots.

It's interesting that Grand Theft Auto IV doesn't make an appearance in the list, despite recording extremely impressive early sales. It looks like the game lost a significant amount of momentum following its huge launch and the incredible success of Nintendo's Wii games can't have helped either.

Today marks the five year anniversary since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' historic release in 2004. Click the image above for some nostalgia from the game's trailers and official website.

Be sure to find some time to play today to honor its release!
