That's what I'm thinking, though I doubt it... If it was, I would buy myself another PSP just to play it. The DS GTA never interested me from looking at it.

The funny thing with this game is that it's £17.99 (UMD) in Tesco and £29.99 (Digital) on the PlayStation Store. PSPgo users endup paying more, for something that doesn't look all that great (crappy DS port), which is why I'm avoiding it on eBay even (where it's £4 at the most).
