PlayStation website PSU.com are today reporting the decidedly outlandish that are considering the purchase of GTA publisher Rockstar. PSU's editors caught wind of the rumour when dining with Sony and representatives at Westwood's Tengu restaurant in California. The meal was being held in the wake of a press event, and the attending journalist(s) heard chatter - sparked by rumours and game developers, apparently - that Sony were looking to "take under their wings."

Apparently, the firms are looking to tie-up an agreement that won't impact IV (already contractually linked to the 360, in part), but would impact a number of future Rockstar releases. A new franchise is covered, and LA Noire looks likely to be a exclusive too, we're told.

While PSU.com's attention-grabbing headline points to a Rockstar buy-out from Sony, the actual meat of the story seems to lean towards an 'exclusives' deal of some form - which is far less dramatic. We're awaiting news from Rockstar on this idle gossip and will keep you posted as learn more.

    It would make sense... but I can't see it happening.
