It would appear that Xbox owners in Europe will not be tucking into a day of car-jacking and violence on Christmas morning as was hoped, with the news that the massively anticipated double pack will not be hitting shelves until 2004.
According to reports breaking this morning, Rockstar has informed distribution and retail throughout the continent that the pack will not be available until January 2, 2004, consistent with the widely held belief that Sony has enforced an exclusivity lock-out clause until the end of this year.
Frustratingly, no one from Rockstar was available for comment at time of going to press.
