According to Xbox.com's Xbox Originals section of the web, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be releasing to the Marketplace as a 1200 Microsoft point Xbox Original download. Though, we don't exactly know when, because Microsoft has yet to officially announce it or its release, but according to the Xbox.com page, next Monday, October 20th will be the time to cruise the streets of San Andreas.

Very very nice. I wonder if they'll get around to putting Vice City on there. That's the only one besides 4 that I haven't played yet.

Tis backwards compatible, worth buying it best GTA made IMO. In fact the original xbox had a special box set that gave you Vice+3 and SA was a classic by the end of it's life.
You can probably buy all 3 cheaper than the price there going to charge.

I know. GameStop had the used copies by themselves out of the Double Pack though and I only bought GTA3. Hence why I want Vice City.

Would have rather had Vice City, but then again id rather have them on disc than DLC. Too bad the Trilogy is so hard to find for a reasonable price.

You gotta find the double pack then San Andreas. That is what I did. I found the double pack for 20 at Best Buy and SA for 10 I think at Walmart. I picked them up late also cause I had them for ps2 and traded the whole system in for a 360 and had to rebuy. So worth it though.

That's not a bad price either really for 3 sweet games.

This might have to be the first Xbox Original I've ever downloaded. I played GTA III and then jumped straight to GTA IV. I haven't played Vice City or San Andreas.

If you haven't played SA, you've really missed out. GTA:SA was the pinnacle of the series in every way possible. GTA IV, while a fun game (I logged 70 hrs), couldn't hold a torch. SA has more varied missions, a greater depth of characters, more cars, weapons, mini games, and awesome radio channels (IMO, GTA IV's radio sucked more than all the others, I muted radio 2 hours into the game).

I don't care what anyone says, this is Grand Theft Auto's high point, for awhile I didn't even think there was gonna be another one cause San Andreas did everything you could ask for in a GTA game.

@ Mr Bunky, lmao, that should get props.
and this game was probably the best of them, and vice city was amazing, for anyone who went from 3 straight to 4 and hasnt played sa or vc, those 2 will blow you away, no cover system like 4, but so much more you can do, especially in sa, i got the trilogy on ps3 for 30 at gamestop a few months ago, i think they get that in regularly there on ps2, on xbox i'm unsure, but i think ps2 was the system everyone played it on anyways.
