‘GTA Online’ Hosts its San Andreas Anniversary Weekend

Has it really been ten years? Ten years since CJ, mothereffin' combine harvesters and the piss-poor simu-sex of the Hot Coffee mod? Well, of course it has. That's what I'm telling you. Pay attention, damn it.

Yes indeed, October 26 marks the tenth anniversary of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This was the game that wanged the seminal series into the third dimension (sure, GTA 3 had already done so, but this one did it with much more panache and/or badassery). It's still regarded by many as the PS2‘s best, and right up there with the greatest ever made.

So let's celebrate its decade-iversary in style. Or, we could follow GTA Online's lead, and have a half-assed and slightly wank little party in its honor.

If you're well-versed in the ways of Online, you'll know the deal. DLC packages are a small crop of new vehicles/weapons/missions, and special occasions? They get the ol' double XP treatment. Hold on to your scrotes for the wildest, drunkiest, vehicle-suspension-upgrades-now-25%-off-iest partay you ever went to.

Yep, San Andreas-themed tees and double GTA$/RP can all be yours for one weekend only. What a time to be alive.
