  • good.

    I don't have to shell out $600 to buy a PS3 until then. :)

  • @Crazytree:
    You and me both. Hopefully there might even be another price break between now and then. I wonder how this affects PS3 sales forecasts for the holiday season...

  • @D-Bo:

    How does this affect PS3 sales? It doesn't. I've ready many blogs and forums and very few people have been waiting for GTA 4 as the 'system seller' that the PS3 needs. Final Fantasy 13 and Metal Gear Solid 4 will be system movers when they finaly come out.

    GTA 4 is highly anticapted, that no one is aruing about.

    Oh, and 'at least April 2008?" According to IGN.com:

    .....technical, company jargon, Rockstar has moved its release from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to the second quarter of its fiscal 2008. In real-world terms, this means the title will ship sometime between February 1st and April 30th, 2008.

    So, it should be at the latest be out by the end of April next year.

  • Damn! I guess I'll just have to play real games until then! BioShock & Mass Effect FTL!

  • Glad I pre-ordered for the October release last week. Ah well, as you said... Mass Effect it is.

  • PS3? C'mon guys... REAL Gamers use a PC :)

    but if any game were to entice me to go back to the console (The last console I had was... Intellivision!), it would be GTA IV.
