4-6 month "testing period" to find out what needs changing/improving, then release on PC.

I can understand Sony securing exclusivity for the GTA games, so that its rivals don't get to release it on their platforms.

But I'm not sure if Sony would be bothered about the PC platform.

In other words, I haven't got a clue.

I know with other platforms like Game Boy Advance etc. it's possible to get emulations onto the PC, is this/or will this be possible with the PS2?

Cheers

Anyone know if it will come out on the PC? Someone I know said Sony have made a deal with Rockstar for it to be exclusive to PS2. Does that mean no PC release or a delayed one on this weeks PS2 release. I ask as Special-Reserve seem to suggest it is coming on the PC:
