Rockstar Games's controversial open-world classic Grand Theft Auto 3 is currently available at the discounted price of 99c in celebration of Presidents' Day weekend in the USA.

Originally realeased for the PlayStation 2 back in 2001, GTA 3's blend of sandbox freedom, social satire, and vehicular carnage proved an instant hit with critics and players alike.

The iPhone re-release, which careened onto the App Store last December, was similarly well received.

If you're hoping to ascend the ranks of the criminal underworld, or just run over some unwitting pedestrians, make sure you take advantage of this 99c deal soon - the offer ends on Monday 20th February, and GTA 3 is usually priced at $4.99.
