Blink and you would've missed it. Yesterday a number of video game websites caught wind of a new product listing on Amazon UK's website for the next chapter in the GRAND THEFT AUTO game franchise. It was called SIN CITY, but if you check the product entry today you should notice two things: the SIN CITY title has been removed and replaced with "Next Episode", and the product release date (which had been listed as November 4, 2004 now lists December 31/04 as the enigmatic title's release date. So did Amazon UK accidentally post too much information about the next chapter in gaming's premier crime simulation?

Rockstar Games, the owners of the GRANS THEFT AUTO franchise, haven't chosen to comment on the Amazon UK listing, nor will they address rumors that the next GTA is based in a Las Vegas-like city.

However, one interesting and tantalizing hard fact is known and can be checked by doing a domain registration search: the domains GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas.com and GTAsanandreas.com were registered last year by Rockstar Games' webmaster.
