GRAND THEFT Sales to Resume

Take-Two Interactive Software has announced that sales of GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS will resume in October. A couple of months ago the game had been pulled from shelves because hidden sex scenes were discovered that allowed a player's character to simulate sex with a female character. The scenes have been removed and the game has once again been rated M.

In addition, Take-Two's Rockstar Games stated it would sell a special-edition of GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS for PlayStation 2, which will include a DVD with a backstory to the game and a documentary film called "Sunday Driver." The special edition will go on sale October 18.

Not that it's anything to cry over...but why aren't they including these extra items with the resumed X-Box versions as well?

I'm curious as to why The Playboy Mansion wasn't pulled as well...it has "simulated sex" just as graphic. I'm not really a huge fan of Grand Theft Auto, but it's obvious the game was unfairly targeted.

Well, you know how it is, it's Grand Theft Auto. It's far more in the public eye than other censor-baiters, and said public are well aware that it's very popular with minors.

It doesn't help that the GTA license was acquired by Rockstar, they believe that pushing the envelope in terms of adult content (and I'm not talking thought-provoking) boosts a game's sales (and looking at GTA's sales since the third instalment, they could well be right). As far as they're concerned, the more publicity GTA gets with the anxious-mothers-guild the better.

I love the GTA series, but I hope Rockstar knows that even though all publicity is good publicity, they can go down for pushing the envelope more an more each time. Personally, I don't care how far they go (ok, maybe there is some point I don't want them to go), as long as the push out a spectacular product and the game is available to buy.
