A while back we reported on Rockstar announcing Grand Theft Auto III going to Android and iOS platforms sometime before the end of the year – well, now we know exactly when, and how much it’s going to cost you.

Grand Theft Auto III Anniversary will be hitting Apple‘s iStore and the Android marketplace on 15 December 2011 – and all it’s going to cost you is a relatively measly USD4.99.

Naturally, it won’t be available in our increasingly dismal South African iTunes store, but honestly, if you’re still using that – why?

The game won’t work with all iDevices and Android gadgets across the board, so if you’re looking to venture back to Liberty City in its early days, make sure you have one of the devices listed below – which has been updated to include more tabs and smartphones.

With Christmas right around the corner, why not treat yourself, or a loved one, to the game that let you beat a granny to the ground using a baseball bat for the first time ever.
