The [[PlayStation Portable]] version says: "''Hello again!''", while the [[PlayStation 2]] version says "''You just can't get enough of this alley, can you?''".

| ===Luigi's Sex Club 7===
| |
| After Staunton Island is opened, "[[Paulie's Revue Bar]]" in Portland changes appearance. It now resembles [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]], which is curious because the club would be replaced by 2001 in GTA III and not in 1998.

Interestingly, the characters on the poster are all pedestrians from GTA San Andreas. |
| | * In the mission [[Rough Justice]], [[Salvatore Leone]] refers to Toni Cipriani as Lionel when he is dressed in the [[Lawyer Outfit]]. This could be a reference to [[wp:Lionel Hutz|Lionel Hutz]], a lawyer in the cartoon series [[wp:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]]. |
