Well, with the 360 was getting the 'extra content' around April of next year, so atleast you 360 GTA4 owners won't have to wait as long... hopefully :/

Ken_D, Agree'd... I was going to alienate myself from the world the 1st week of GTAIV biggrin.gif

Well hey atleast in the end, GTAIV will be the best it can be smile.gif then if they rushed for october

Well that sucks. Games get delayed too often these days. They should just put the release dates out further even if they know it will be finished, maybe they can add some nice touches in the spare time they have or suttin.

But as someone said, at least the game will be 100% done this way.

I wasnt the biggest fan, but was looking forward to it

Gutted! this is my most wanted game. I'm not a Halo fan so this definately leaves a big gap for me. Please someone remind me what else I can look forward to.

Funny how they don't have the balls to reveal it to their fanatically loyal fanbase first.... This is a corporate thing I'm presuming, if it's all about money and financial results. That means they knew the info would leak out... I think they should have made an official announcement to the fans at the very least.

Hopefully it's for the best, but seems they want to cash in on more PS3's.

Hmmm i smell something fishy here....

R*/Take 2 have for the last 3 GTAs always been able to reach their October date. Never have they "delayed" something.

I smell a R*/MS deal here for the episodes...

Bioshock, Mass Effect Assassins Creed, COD4, Mercenaries 2, PGR4, Alan Wake, Half Life Orange Box (portal team fortress 2), Burnout Paradise....then next year we'll get GTA IV, Too Human, Fable 2.

Too many good games coming to 360,... but the dealy still sucks.


Edit:  I smell a, "we can't get this shit to run on the PoS3" deal going on here.... everything we have seen of the game is from the 360.  Like namrrac said "If it's done for the xbox RELEASE THE DAMN GAME!"

I think their should be an investigation into possible financial shenanigans on this. The feds should look for a sell-off by 'insiders' around a certain time frame. Somebody knew something... and somebody found a way to make money off of it. It wouldn't have been so bad if they would have announced this 2 months ago, this is too close to the release date.

If there gonna lock up Martha Stewart, then they should take a look at the lying bastards at Rockstar and Take-Two.

Besides the screwed investors, is there really anything that the rest of us can do?

For my own form of protest, I'm going to backup my copy of Vice City to my mod-chipped Xbox. According to the ESA, this is illegal. Although they would never know, and I'm really not doing anything wrong, at least they will still theoretically be pissed (not drunk Euros).

So the game is delayed. It is one game. Not the end of the world. 360 has more than enough games due out or so everyone keeps saying.

Man this sucks, but i guess it's for the best. Like already said there are plenty of other games coming out around the original release date, so not that big of a deal.
