No GTA2 for Xbox LIVE.

There’s been some speculation circling the Internet that a count down clock found on the official [Grand Theft Auto 2] web site was counting down the time for GTA2 to be released for Xbox LIVE.

According to an [IGN article], IGN was able to confirm with Rockstar that this is not the case, and according to Rockstar it’s because the timer was used back in the 1900’s to count down to the release of GTA2 for the PS1.  The code used to create the timer is messed up and can’t take into account the 2000’s.

-=================================

Which I think is TOTAL BS.  Even back in the 1900’s people knew about the whole Y2K thing, beyond that.. a web site with just a timer on it for about 9 years? (release on the PS1 was Oct of 1999)
being THAT late in the year, one would think that the timer code should have been able to understand 2000.    Besides, the DC version was release May of 2000, and the GBC version in December of 2000.      On top of that, since this rumor was started the timer is still on the web site, and it’s counting down to a new date.  (May of 2008)  where as the PS1 was 10/99..

Sorry Rockstar, either you’re webmasters and designers are a bunch of idiots or there’s something more going on here.
