GTA IV DLC delayed, new release date set

Now that GTA IV has been out for enough time to have gamers get a good handle on its workings, one would think that it'd be the time to release good news about the $50 million worth of content that was supposed to lure gamers to the 360 version. Instead, the exclusive DLC episodes will hitting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 (which actually begins in 2008). Specifically, the new release window for the DLC is November 1st 2008 to January 31st 2009, and funnily enough that's about all the specifics there is on it. See, this is where there should've been an announcement of good news! And with this fall being as full as any other in the industry just how popular will a GTA IV DLC purchase be then?

Although this decision sucks it comes as no suprise to me. In business terms it makes complete sense. Why would you release both of your highest grossing products in the same fiscal year? That's right, you wouldn't. Save one of the two cash cows for next year's books and keep the shareholders happy.

cal, barley english? Im sorry for my poor grammer, but feel free to judge based upon it. In my office a few of us all have the 360 version and not received ONE problem. Ive logged over 75hrs of playing time and 96 percent done the game and it has not frozen once. Also maybe next time you post a comment, why not give examples of how the game is "broken" instead of sounding like a trolling little child who hates xbox. granted you did post a link to a forum, but really, 11 million copies sold most of those Xbox copies, again the game isnt broken, its probably the systems.

After several days of GTA 4 and completing it, it becomes pointless and boring. I absolutely loved the story mode but not much to do after. At least give us something to do with the money other than spend it on RPG ammunition.
