Don't be dragged in to beliving the latest rumor out of the fan sites ring for PlayStation 3 regarding the [apparently] possible purchase of Rockstar Games by Sony Computer Entertainment, the fan site that started the rumor says they discovered the news while eating dinner with the developers in California. Confused? You and me both, seems the fan site that started the rumor was also, editing their article several hours after publishing as they realized they infact eating in Westwood, and not Hollywood. The fan site states:

"Various sources in the press and development team state that Sony is looking to take Rockstar 'under their wings'. While we learned that any agreement Sony and Take Two entered into would not affect the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV, such an agreement would presumably affect any future releases from Rockstar, including the new franchise Sony has been discussing and L.A. Noire."

Can't honestly see Take-Two selling off their most popular and successful asset anytime soon myself. ComputerAndVideoGames (CVG) contacted Rockstar earlier today and they had this to say: "we don't comment on rumour or speculation". If we see some actual proof then maybe we would re-think our stance, but so far it seems more like a vain attempt at website hits.

Much thanks to CVG for the information on Rockstar's response.
