'''''Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack''''' is a repackaging of the [[video games]] ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' (2001) and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' (2002) as a single release. Released on [[October 21]], [[2003]] for the [[PlayStation 2|Sony PlayStation 2]] and first released for the [[Xbox|Microsoft Xbox]] in [[November 4]], [[2003]], it was also the first iteration of the ''[[Grand Theft Auto (series)|Grand Theft Auto]]'' series to appear on the Xbox, which originally only appeared on the PlayStation 2 and the [[Personal computer|PC]]. 

The ''Double Pack'' was released for a street price of $49.99 in [[North America]], ₤40 in the [[United Kingdom]] and $99.99 in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. The ''Double Pack'' was also released for the PlayStation 2, though this version was just a repackaging of the original seperately-sold games. The ''Double Pack'' was later replaced in 2005 by a ''GTA Trilogy Pack'' including [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], for both PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The PC releases by contrast were only single titles.
