Nine months after it was first released in Japan, Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV for the PlayStation 3 (game also on Xbox 360) is now to be sold under the PlayStation: The Best budget line in the country.

"I would expect there would be two more pieces of downloadable content for GTA IV (Xbox 360, PS3), that's what  has been indicated to me, although formats are unsure," he said. "It's been indicated to me that would be the case." Apart from that, he is also of the belief that a Part 5 will be coming to join the franchise sometime in the 2011 fiscal year, as well as a possible new GTA title for the PS2 as early as next year.

An MMO GTA? Can you imagine that? Janco Partners is certainly imagining it as it ponders on Take-Two Interactive's prospects at acquisition. Mike Hickey is of the opinion that given the proven success of the franchise, the company is a very enticing candidate for future acquisition.

Somebody sure is playing coy. Well, a lot of them sure are, especially when it comes to confirmations pertaining to announcement/ reveals/ launches that are E3-related. Take for example Rockstar's rumored Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PS3) downloadable content. Their answer to the rumor: "We don't comment on rumor and speculation."

With rumors running rampant about the Xbox 360-exclusive Grand Theft Auto 4 DLC also creeping its way to the PlayStation 3, Microsoft is quick to douse the flames. Contacting Gamespot to, hopefully, drive the nail into the coffin, they gave a succinct: "The [GTAIV] episodes are exclusive to Xbox 360."

The Lost and Damned DLC for GTA IV on the Xbox 360 may not be as exclusive as we all thought it was after all. Rumor's been going around the circuit as of the weekend past claiming that the exclusivity was only a timed one. Can we therefore expect it to come to the PS3 as well?

This is another example of a crime in which gaming is once again linked, involving the notorious GTA no less. This time, however, the GTA player is the victim. Malcolm Palmer had been together with Carol Cannom for 30 years, a relationship that brought them three children and a Sony PlayStation. All was cool, until she got hooked on Grand Theft Auto and threw him out of the bedroom so that she could play all night and until morning. Palmer later attacked her with two knives, killing her with 20 separate wounds to the upper chest.

Surprise, surprise! Amazon UK is offering one heck of a deal on some Triple-A titles. Get this: LittleBigPlanet, Grand Theft Auto 4, heck, even recently-released Killzone 2 - all of which getting as much as a 70% discount! Amazon UK has launched a rather powerful sale slash-off campaign to make your eyes tear up with joy.

Move over Niko Bellic. A new GTA star may be around the corner already! What with development for the DLC episodes, Rockstar Games isn't done with Grand Theft Auto 4 just yet. Despite that, analyst Michael Pachter is already pegging 2010 as the perfect time for the next console iteration of the sandbox franchise. And that's not all: Pachter's also making sales forecasts for GTA 5 already!

Yet again, we hear from John Koller. He's been everywhere since yesterday. He already said that he wanted Ready At Dawn back for PSP development, and now, it looks like he doesn't want to let go of Rockstar Games too. Well, who wouldn't? Koller reveals that there are talks to get Rockstar back into PSP development for another GTA game (which gives the GTA: San Andreas Stories rumor some backing). In other Rockstar-related matters, he also reacts to GTA4's Xbox 360-exclusive DLC and the release of GTA Chinatown Wars on the DS.
