The ESRB website has recently been updated to include two new entries for GTA games on the PlayStation 3, one for Grand Theft Auto 3, the other for Vice City. The publisher in both cases is listed as Sony Computer Entertainment America, which suggests both titles will be appearing as PS2 classics. This unfortunately means they're unlikely to be on the receiving end of any HD treatment, but still, they'll be nice to have in your collection.

You can see the ESRB searches for GTA3 and Vice City showing the entries. I've included a couple of screenshots below in case it's removed for some reason:

There's no official word from Rockstar on this, so we don't know of any release dates or pricing information. We're also not sure why San Andreas has curiously been left out, and/or if it may appear at a later date.
On a slightly related note, this year will be Vice City's 10th anniversary. If Rockstar are planning similar things to what they've been doing for GTA3, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we see Vice City appearing on iOS and Android later this year either.

Thanks to R* Network for the heads up.

Following on from last week's news of GTA3 coming to the Mac App Store, we can now tell you that Vice City is also now available at the same price of £10.49 ($14.99 / 11,99 €).

Receiving mostly 5 star ratings from customers who have purchased the game already, it's safe to say gamers are happy with the release, as they were with GTA3. Next week will see the completion of the trilogy's arrival on the Mac App Store, with the release of San Andreas. We'll let you know when it hits.

You may have seen these Vice City Kubrick action figures back in the Summer when they were made available at the Rockstar Warehouse. I never posted about them back then, but since we're approaching the holiday season you might decide you want to purchase a set now. They're just like the GTA3 Kubrick's we posted about last year, except these ones include the following characters:

• Tommy Vercetti
  
• Lance Vance
  
• Ricardo Diaz
  
• Candi Suxxx
  
• Ken Rosenberg

They tie in quite nicely with the release of Vice City Stories for the PSP a couple of months ago, head on over to the Rockstar Warehouse to buy a set.
