The game, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis, will be exclusive to the Xbox 360, and will cost $39.99." Chris Morris, over at the CNN Game Over column, has some commentary on Grand Theft Ping Pong.

A friend of my wife's worked at Rockstar North on GTA, and has now moved back to Vancouver and is working at Rockstar Vancouver. Not sure if he's working on Bully though.
