Sources close to the game’s publisher have told MCV that the title’s UK release will miss the Easter period entirely, and will instead go on sale in the final week of Rockstar parent Take 2’s second financial quarter. That would be in keeping with the company's latest financial statement, which revealed the title would be released in its Q2 period – which runs from February to the end of April.

Some people might think your a muppet for saying that.

quite possibly but it's not too far from the truth. Unfortunately politics and technical issues around the PS3 version have delayed the release of this game from it's original projected dates. It all stems from the almighty hash Sony have made of the whole PS3 debacle to date. It's not that there's anything wrong with the console, it's just the way that Sony have handled the situation in marginalising developers and people who have paid good money for the machine.

Shame all you are stating is just rumour. You do also know that there is a rumour going about that because of the lack of space of a DVD disk, they are having troubles. Also there was a rumour that there was a big bug found inside the game code. I dont see where you are getting your info from. The rumour that the PS3 deylayed the game came from an analyst.

There are a lot of rumours circulating, it's par for the course. Unfortunately, in this case inparticular: the propagation of facts is largely limited to those who have signed NDA agreements and those close to individuals who work in the industry. I must state however that you are not in a position to disprove that fact that I may be privy to such information.

Same can be said for me? At the end of the day, your just speculating and using rumours that were started by an analyst. And then you go on to state "I suspect that the 360 version would have been ready by now, flamin sony muppets." If you knew, you wouldnt suspect.

Uncle Peter · 22-12-2007, 01:55

Once again, you're not in a position to make that statement (re. speculation). I have no further comment to make as I have made my point and I believe that you have made yours. I'll leave it at that.

Huh? You sit there and type "I suspect that the 360 version would have been ready by now, flamin sony muppets." If you know something, you dont suspect it, you know it. So as I said your sat there speculating on what has come from gaming websites. Also we know that the PS3 version was only 3 weeks behind the 360 version, as far as Im aware that came from Rockstar themselves. 3 weeks does not lead to 6 months.

Shawty.. you are repeating yourself old chap and this is going to be rather short debate if you are the only further party involved in it.

Now that IS my final comment.

Im repeating myself because what I say makes sense and what you have said does not.

Read this the other day. Good to know but not confirmed so we'll have to wait and see.
