San Andreas Stories is Fake, Fake, Fake

A listing for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Stories has been making the rounds on the Internet today, leading many to believe that Rockstar plans to bring the third adventure in the series over to Sony's handlheld. It may very well be true that Rockstar is planning such a release, but this "leaked" product listing is fake. The boxart for the game re-uses imagery from the original PS2 title, something that Rockstar has never done with its previous PSP releases.

Secondly, the shop in question even admits that it is pure speculation at this point. The original product description, written in 2007 reads:

"With San Andreas the only city in the GTA universe yet receive the Stories treatment, we wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar eventually end up bringing out 'San Andreas Stories' on PSP and/or PS2. There's no word from the developers about the game at this stage, but if you sign up by clicking the above link, we'll get in touch with you the second that the game is available to pre-order. If it ever does come out, that is."

We are sorry to be the bearers of bad news, but it looks like the long-awaited GTA: SA Stories remains vaporware for now. But who knows? Rockstar has said that it has something big up its sleeve that involves a handheld system. Maybe they will surprise us with another PSP release after all.
