With the international release of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) due this April 29, UK retailer Shopto has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 bundle will be arrive with the game’s release.

However, there’s been some confusion regarding which company will be distributing the said bundle in the region. Two companies tied with GTA 4 have been speculated as possible candidates which will distribute the game – Take-Two related Gem and Sony title distributor Centresoft.

Igor Cipolletta, Chief Operating Officer of Shopto, was quoted having said the following to explain the situation:

We know for a fact it is coming out in Europe and we are expecting an announcement in the UK any time. We are not sure if Gem or Centresoft are distributing it yet, that seems to be the hold up.

The GTA 4 bundle has been priced at £299 (US$ 589), so gamers in the region should make sure to save up as much as they can until they can get a copy of the game (if you can still find pre-orders of it, that is).
