Take-Two Interactive’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was again the top-rented DVD in the U.S., Rentrak said its preliminary Home Video Essentials data for the week ended Nov. 14 showed. Rentrak said the PS2 exclusive earned an additional $1.14 million in its 3rd week, for a total of $3.39 million to date. Microsoft’s Xbox game sequel Halo 2 was #2 in its first week ($924,612).

It was the only game in the top 10 not for PS2. Electronic Arts was the only publisher with more than one SKU in the top 10, with 3: Madden NFL 2005 at #5 (down one in its 14th week, $212,440 in the week and $4.24 million to date), NCAA Football 2005 at #7 (up 2, 18th week, $163,045 and $3.37 million) and The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age at #8 (up 8, 2nd week, $151,083 and $259,629). Rounding out the top 10 were THQ’s WWE Smackdown! Vs. Raw at #3 (up 3, 2nd week, $294,810 and $469,551), Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 at #4 (down 2, 6th week, $228,736 and $1.75 million), Midway’s Mortal Kombat: Deception at #6 (down 3, 6th week, $193,554 and $1.44 million), LucasArts Entertainment’s Star Wars: Battlefront at #9 (down 4, 8th week, $150,909 and $1.87 million) and Sony Computer Entertainment’s Killzone at #10 (up an unusual 118 in its 2nd week, $128,308 and $149,063).
