GTA IV Waiting for the DLC

Microsoft had to pay $ 50 million for it, many people bought the Xbox 360 version, especially because it still take two decided to delay the whole thing - from tax on Q4 2008 to fiscal Q1 2009. Yes, we do not talk about extreme distance learning and development for the Xbox 360 version of Rockstar of the Grand Theft Auto IV. The good news is that the key word here is delayed, not canceled. Communicate bad news is the reason: the decision was made due to balance of the portfolio than the issues of development, which means something like "we simply want to release it later.

For sure, this decision is understandable, given that in recent financial results reported by taking two, 78 percent of the total revenue of the company this quarter came from GTA IV and the other Grand Theft Auto games. Though the delay just so that it - and even admitting that high - may not be the best action to please the fans. They could've done and everything would've been acceptable. (However, we appreciate their honesty.)

The declaration of GTA IV for distance learning and development was reported by the website gamesindustry.biz, which also stated that no information on pricing were given about the content, nor a confirmation or denial of portable version or release date for the PC version. We dare to believe that the PC version will reach stores at the same time, the Xbox 360 for distance learning and development - and this means that we must expect a slowdown in the rumored PC version, too.

Back to the message: this means that Xbox 360 owners of the Grand Theft Auto IV will receive a copy chance to try new things brought to them through distance learning and development sometime between November 2008 and January 2009 and not "the fall of 2008. We will keep close tabs on the Convention of Microsoft now and see whether it will be a response to the message. We are sure that will piss off many people in the games world.
