GTA 3 PSN release confirmed for this week

Grand Theft Auto 3's PSN release has been all mixed up in the wash recently, with no clear release date until now. Sony has confirmed that the game will hit PSN this week in the States.

PS Blog US has revealed this week's PSN content drop, and GTA 3 is on the list.

Happy days, although no European release date or pricing has been confirmed. We should expect to hear more soon.

Here's Sony's official content descriptor:

Grand Theft Auto III – From the days of the PlayStation 2, this downloadable game allows you to play the classic original on compatible PlayStation game systems.

Mob bosses need favors, crooked cops need help, the street gangs want you dead; so to compensate you’ll have to rob, steal, and kill in order to stay alive.
Developed by DMA Design, GTA3 is the first installment of the series to utilize a fully three-dimensional living city with open environments and non-linear gameplay.

Additional features include a cast of hundreds of different characters, more than 50 types of vehicles, three hours of professionally recorded music, and a huge array of deadly street weapons.

Thanks IGN.
