San Andreas PSP Listing The Result Of Retailer Daydreaming

You may have seen today a retail listing for a PSP game called San Andreas Stories. It’s even got box art. Pity, then, it’s all the result of the result of some wishful thinking.

The listing in question was spotted on the website of British retailer HMV. As you can see right here, it says “Grand Theft Auto (Gta): San Andreas Stories”, and there’s a tiny picture of some box art for the game.

But look closely at the box art. It’s recycling art from the cover of the original San Andreas, something Rockstar never do when it comes to the handheld versions of their GTA game worlds. And if you’re still not convinced that makes the listing bogus, click the little tab on the website that takes you to “description”.

There you’ll see the listing was in fact created in HMV’s system in 2007. And you’ll also see HMV’s staff writing:

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.

Doesn’t mean a San Andreas PSP game won’t ever come out, just…this isn’t it. Not this, not now. Nothing to see here, people, move along, move along!
