    Confirmed delay of GTA:Liberty City Stories for PS2

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6147725.html It looks like the game could be delayed for about a month. The last time I heard, it was supposed to come out at the end of this month. I guess this shouldn't really bother anyone that has a PSP, but I don't have one and don't plan to get one anytime soon.
