September 23^rd, 2005 (1:03pm) - A special edition version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is coming to the PS2 on October 18, 2005. This special edition version of the game will include a DVD with the bonuses "The Introduction" and "Sunday Driver," Rockstar’s documentary film based low rider cars, which we first reported on yesterday.

Highlighting the action in the days before the story in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas begins, "The Introduction" is told from various characters’ viewpoints, which are intertwined together to reveal the network of organized crime forces operating throughout the state of San Andreas. Tension builds as threats are carried out, stakes are raised and communication breaks down. In Los Santos, a drive-by shooting in Grove Street Family’s territory ignites a series of events to be further explored in the game.

"Sunday Driver" is an all-access documentary film chronicling the Compton/Watts chapter of California’s low rider car club, The Majestics. A cutting edge and uncompromising film, Sunday Driver is an evolution of the Rockstar brand into film. Directed by Carol Strong, the documentary offers an incredible portrait of a community working together to build the ultimate customized vehicles while struggling to legitimize their lifestyle under close scrutiny by the authorities. With an upfront look at the men behind the chrome, Sunday Driver explores the origins of the Majestics’ car club and, by using first person interviews, explains what it means to be a Majestic. Dedicated to creating the definitive modified automobile, The Majestics come together to help each other realize their dreams. Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), Sunday Driver will also be released separately on UMD, a format used by the PSP, as we revealed in yesterday’s news report.

The retail price for this special edition package has not yet been announced.
