Last week we reported that Steam was offering GTA: Vice City for free when you pre-order Grand Theft Auto IV for PC. Today, Direct2Drive has presented an identical offer for anyone who pre-purchases GTA IV at their online store. It's odd that both stores have offered the same game. Why are they both offering Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is something we're not sure about. Ideally, Grand Theft Auto 3 would have been the best to offer, since GTA IV is based off it's location. Despite Direct2Drive saying that they decided to offer Vice City, we are inclined to think that the offer is coming from Rockstar, and not something both online stores has decided to offer themselves, to us it seems like the best reason for why both are offering exactly the same thing.

Needless to say, if you don't currently have GTA: Vice City for PC, we would highly recommend pre-ordering Grand Theft Auto IV from Direct2Drive or Steam so you can get Vice City for free. Hit the streets of modern day New York and shoot the place up, then take a relaxing cruise in 1980's Miami. What more could you ask for?
