The ESRB's listing of Vice City Stories for the PS2 may just have been a huge blunder after all. Earlier today the Entertainment Software Rating Board removed the PlayStation 2 version of Vice City Stories from their website. The search we linked to yesterday now returns just 1 result - the PSP version of Vice City Stories.

I can't think of any reason for the ESRB to remove a rating, unless of course that decision was made by TakeTwo or Rockstar, but in any case the game wasn't ever 100% confirmed. As of yet we still haven't seen an official press release from Take Two announcing the title for PS2, hopefully we will do soon, as you are no doubt just as confused as we are.

Looks like it was either a mistake by the ERSB or TakeTwo and Rockstar want to keep it under wraps for a little while longer.

Lmao, easy come, easy go. I'm thinking Rockstar wanted to be the first to reveal it.

And here I am hoping that the game is never released on PS2.

Rockstar may have requested it moved, that happens a lot, happened with my Vice City Stories scans for example. Or, it could just have been an accident after all. Chances are it is still on the site, just hidden from the public, that is if it was true.

I guess we would know in a few weeks or so if it was to be released. Too much later and it might start to clash with some other games they are producing, as well as being well past the initial release date.

I'm thinking if it hasn't been announced by 1st March, it would be very doubtful it'll ever be released on PS2.

Maybe Rockstar requested it to be made private...

What other games are Leeds working on right now?

Rockstar might think that it ust should put it on the PS3 after all it does come out in March and I think it may come out just before or during the summer break which would be profitable for Rockstar IMO.

I am disappointed by it, but I would enjoy it on PS2.
