Things aren’t looking up for Rockstar and publisher Take-Two on the subject of Manhunt 2’s AO rating. Nintendo’s own buyer’s guide says the company will not sell or license games that carry an AO rating, and now Sony has confirmed that they carry a similar policy as well:

For questions or comment regarding the rating of Manhunt 2, please contact the publisher, Rockstar. Currently it’s SCE’s policy not to allow the playback of AO rated content on our systems.

Basically, Rockstar and Take-Two have three choices now. Either drop the game, tone down the violence and resubmit it for a rating, or appeal the current AO rating.
