August 29, 2006 seems to be the day, Xbox 360 owners will be able to roll with the Saints as Saints Row, Volition's take on Grand Theft Auto has finally been dated.

Saints Row will be out for the Xbox 360 and will put players in the shoes of a member of the Third Street Saints gang as they try and win back the city from rival gangs.

From what I've seen, the game does indeed look like a next-gen GTA with a lot of visual whupah and "Bling" crammed in, but it didn't look as enjoyable as San Andreas. Maybe I'm biased, or maybe the guy playing the game was just plain retarded.
