Developed by Rockstar Leeds, in conjunction with series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is now available exclusively for the Nintendo DS™.

The DS exclusive GTA game, Chinatown Wars, sold a pitiful amount on the DS at just 89,000. The game is no longer to be a DS exclusive and is making it’s way to Sony’s portable hand held, the PSP. Which is undoubtedly where it belongs. The game will be available on UMD for the PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 and as a downloadable title for the PSP GO! Not only that but, the game will also become available on the PSN store, which hopefully means it’ll become playable on the PS3, as it’s sure to be a huge hit for the PS3 as it will the PSP. The game is due for release in the fall.
