    They were wise to delay. There's too much controversy floating around at the moment and GTA is the poster-child of violent video games. Just saw that CNN clip earlier of the host last night saying that in GTA you have to kill prostitutes to get points? Bad environment to release in.

    Hey, just a thought, what about a delay because of the current video game violence debate hysteria?

    Wow they just ruined Killzone's release

    NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Oh well, more time for them to make it better I guess... **sighhhhhh** Gosh, I've been saying that about Half-Life 3 ever since I got Half-Life 2. **groan**

    Pretty disappointed by this, GTA V was by far my most anticipated spring game.

    I agree with not being because of new consoles. Plus Delays happen, GTA V was especially expected.

    Yeah, I honestly don't think the delay had anything to do with the release of new consoles. Sure, Rockstar typically releases their games in May, but ALSO, they typically delay their games like, at least 2 or 3 times before they actually come out and they are usually long delays. Happened with GTA IV, happened with RDR, happened with MP3, so it's not like this is unusual behavior for them XD And, honestly? I'm kinda glad they delayed, not only does that mean more polish for the game, but it gives me a breather from the frantic spring schedule XD Also, gotta love how Tom just stares blankly as the other two thumb up for goodbye :P

    I AM SO FREAKING MAD GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. This game will still be the greatest thing ever made.

    Three times the size of stuff!
