"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", Original Release Japanese CAPCOM / PlayStation 2 / PC Promotional Poster 2004, Ultra Rare, B2 Size (c.51.5 × 72.8 cm) P229

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City remains one of the most iconic open-world action games of the early 2000s, and one of the most visually recognizable titles ever released by Rockstar Games.

This is an original Japanese B2 promotional poster produced to promote the Japanese release of “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” for PlayStation 2 and PC. The poster’s Japanese copy announces the release date (2004.5.20 ON SALE), highlights worldwide sales of 11.5 million copies, and lists the suggested retail price (¥6,800, tax excluded), while the bottom margin confirms it was published and distributed in Japan by CAPCOM—a notable detail for collectors, since CAPCOM handled the Japanese release.

Visually, it is a classic Vice City image: the composition is dominated by the game’s instantly recognizable illustrated bikini-clad woman holding a cocktail, set against a hot orange-to-crimson tropical gradient with palm silhouettes, the bold stacked Grand Theft Auto logo, and the neon-pink “vice city” script. The lower margin also carries the official vicecity.jp URL together with period PlayStation 2 and PC CD-ROM branding, plus Rockstar development/publishing logos—making this a strong, display-friendly example of original early-2000s Japanese GTA advertising.

Vice City built on the breakthrough established by Grand Theft Auto III and became celebrated for its 1980s Miami-inspired setting, decadent atmosphere, sharp satire, and unforgettable music-driven identity. For many players, it remains one of the signature titles of the PlayStation 2 era and one of the most collectible Rockstar promotional posters from the period.

This poster presents excellently overall. The reverse is blank and shows age toning, light marks, and small old tape residue near the upper edge. Please review the close-up images provided for the most accurate view of the surface and edges.

As with nearly all non-commercial retail / point-of-sale promotional posters, production quantities were tiny compared to mass-market prints, and survival rates are low—especially for original Japanese video game posters that were only intended for short-term in-store display.

It is not a reproduction or a reprint.
