GTA Bundle of Joy?

I love my PS2. I'm convinced the system has still got plenty of play in it and the drip-drip of some great little titles have convinced me I'm not far wrong. As such, I regularly check out the release lists on gaming e-commerce sites from across the pond. It's usually a good sign for what will probably show up in Blighty ...eventually, give or take six months.

While hunting through the upcoming PS2 release list on Gamestop, I came across this sweet little deal - 'Grand Theft Auto LCS/VCS Bundle'. I'm here to tell you not to buy it. Don't get me wrong. Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories are both excellent games. Ported from the PSP to the PS2, they're top slices of classic GTA3 action in their own right but this bundle? Nah. I mean, look at it - $29.99 for both games. Even Gamestop itself are selling (admittedly, 'used') Liberty City Stories for $11.99 and Vice City Stories for $14.99. Pop along to somewhere like GamesTracker and you'll probably be able to pick up both titles, new, for less than this upcoming bundle.

So yes, buy LCS and VCS (and chide yourself for not having done so already) but do the smart thing and save yourself a coin or two.
