    WTF?!</p>

    I was at the mall and I went in to Gamestop to reserve a copy and the guy tells me its delayed until next year. It was supposed to come out in October. This ruined my year. </p>

    It happened like ten days ago. Reportedly, the Rock Star team underestimated their ability to get the game ready for the PS3 and they have to release the XBox 360 version and the PS3 version on the same date.

    Yeah, they couldn't get it to work properly on the Playstation 3, so they had to delay it until next year. </p>

    They've said nothing on why. the reason depends on who is telling you it. I heard that they are having trouble making it for the PS3. I heard they can't fit the entire game on one XBOX 360 Disk and Microsoft wants it on one disk only because they don't want DVD to look inferior to Blu-Ray. So depends we're you hear it from. Personally I could care less. I rather have a better game come out a year later.

    That sucks, I was looking forward to it... BUT, another year of polishing is probably great. This means the number of extras and mini-games should be enormous. Plus, admittedly, the graphics needed work.

    Naw, I agree with cpawfan. </p>

    Assassin's Creed, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros. Brawl, Geometry Wars Galaxies, they all look so better.</p>

    XBOX 360's much touted 2007 lineup is a tad weak to me.</p>

    I think 2008 will be much better for XBOX 360, with GTA IV, Banjo Threeie, Fable 2, Kameo 2, Civilization 4.</p>

    Then again, I think its been a month since I last played a video game. So maybe my liking for videogames is just dead almost.</p>
