damn it i have october the 16 17 18 19 20 booked off to play this game

*rocks back and foward in the corner muttering this isnt happening over and over*



why cant game developers set realistic dates for releases ! first spore (yeah i know pc game but its relevant) then two worlds now GTA4 i just wish they would release it then patch it atleast that way we would get to play it ontime even if its a little buggy

mind you HMV havent canceled my preorder so maybe the delay is only effecting the us edition smile.gif (which granted sucks for the us but it would be novel for us to get a game before the usa for once lol)

hmv still say 74 days remaining ..maybe its a prank yes an april fools...*laughs hysterically*..thats what it is..*more laughing* a joke ..yes a gag yes a practicle joke yes he he he he hee heee a gag yes a gag he he he
*little men in white coats are dragging me away*

no idea how accurate that is, but definitely an interesting concept that the 360 version was delayed due to the ps3 version taking longer then expected and taketwo being required to release both versions at the same time.

"We think it is likely that the Rockstar team had difficulty in building an exceptionally complicated game for the PS3, and failed to recognise how far away from completion the game truly was until recently," said Pachter.

 Only people that know are the developers and they have not stated why yet.
