It was on the cover of a Harvey Norman catologe in todays sun.

You can pre order it for $150!!! Talk about flogging it for what its worth!!! But you do get some extra features.

Also said it was comming soon so my guess would be within a month???

I cant wait!
 
Yeh it will get realeased around Feb-April in between then. I looks like its going to be the best game, Though its GTA after all so we have come to expect that.
 
I'm not expecting it before april.

150 bucks, must be the special edition i think. Pretty sure there was one with some extra stuff like a duffel bag etc

At least there was when it was due for release last year.

the standard edition will probably be like like most games, between 99-119

GTA IV: Special Edition

GTA IV: Special Edition was announced on 21 May 2007 for both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. It features a customised metal safe deposit box that will contain the following:

* A Rockstar keychain for the safe deposit box keys.
* A limited edition Rockstar duffel bag.
* Production artwork from GTA IV in the Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book.
* Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release.
* A specially packaged version of the game for either PS3 or Xbox 360.

Limited pre-orders for the special edition of GTA IV were available from 21 May and will retail for the price of USD $89.99 in the US, AUD $149.95 in Australia and £59.99 for the UK.
 
The game will probably come out in February or March. If my memory serves me correctly, the only reason why the game was delayed in the first place was because the developers were having trouble developing for the PS3, and a contract apparently reads that the game has to come out simultaneously on both PS3 and 360.

The game must be close to release anyways, because the game has already been rated in Australia (MA15+).

OMG once again, they were called RUMOURS, and RUMOURS are rarely ever true and in this it wasn't once again.

The fact of the matter is that GTA IV was not completed at the time of supposed release, you can even tell this by the trailers, many games come out too early causing them to have bugs, glitches, framerate issues, even San Andreas suffered from some of this.

The game will most likely come out at the earliest in March, but then we might get the usual bullshit wait between when America gets a game for Australia to get it.
 
They were rumours, rockstar never confirmed that the ps3 was the cause, likely due to contractual reasons.

The fact i've lost count of the numbers of ps3 game's that are delayed due to programming issues, something pretty much unheard of with the 360, makes it seem pretty logical to me tho i have to say. Its not nicknamed the delaystation for nothing. :D

But it doesn't matter. It'll give em time to perfect it anyway. It was a bummer at the time, but the delay has passed pretty swiftly. looking forward to it:thumbsu:
 
Sure, it wasn't confirmed, but it looks like it was due to the PS3.

Rockstar said the PS3 was two weeks behind the 360, and then they said the 360 was over 80% done in Sep/August.

It is pretty obvious that the PS3 was one of the reasons due to the delay - but not the only. I am condemning the PS3, however, but rather I am condemning Rockstar for giving us an unrealistic release date.

But the more time the better, less bugs, more features, etc. After the delay was announced, Rockstar said they will try to implement some form of online multiplayer, which is pretty sweet.

If I could only buy one game in 2008 - it would be GTA4. Cant wait for it.

It should be released in April though, thats what the latest news is anyway.

Don't turn this into another flamewar.

If so many PS3 games get delayed then why are there plenty of games out already for it, most which came out without delay and no problems with them?

Fact is that not only are there the retail games that you buy in stores, but there are also heaps of PSN games that you can buy for less than 15 bucks but still get a shitload of fun out of, none of these were delayed, not to mention "Everyday Shooter" the game that was completely made by one person, sure the PS3 has some development problems with it, but every system has them, the only thing is with the games that don't get delayed because of this turn out to be plagued with bugs, framerate issues and the like.

Its true, you are in denial.

Why do you have to be so defensive of the PS3 for

Where'd you hear that?

GTA4 is a dual release on ps3 and 360

Gridlocked is right, all the GTA games that follow IV are going to be PS3 exclusive.
I'll find a link.

Yep Gridlocked is correct. Rockstars can do so much more with GTA on ps3 as the blueray disks hold more than the HD or what ever the xbox uses.
So for all you 360 fans that are bagging ps3 for creating the delay just consider yourself lucky that your getting GTA at the same time as us as you normally dont and that your favorite console has wrecked GTA for us ps3 people as it could of been so much more if it wasnt for the 360 and their shitty disks that hold nothing.
 
I found this from 2005 saying gta4 was gonna be sony exclusive. That sorta didnt work out

Be interested in what you can find on this claim

Yeh that was before Microsoft started throwing money at Rockstars, How else do you think they got the exclusive content.
From a console that wasnt getting GTA at all to getting it and exclusive content. Lets just say they paid around $50 million for it.
 
Any one got a source? I couldn't find anything on the net in a quick search. You'd think something like that would be major news?

I know rockstar are doing an exclusive game for sony with take 2, much like take 2 did bioshock exclusively for Microsoft. But its not a gta game.
 
LOL, how did he make that conclusion from the 2 sources he's quoted, neither of which say gta will be sony exclusive.

That's why the PlayStation 3 community is buzzing about a new deal in which the PlayStation 3 will have an exclusive to the "next great franchise" from the hit-making studios of Rockstar Games.

Rockstar Games, the folks behind the Grand Theft Auto series, have announced to be working on its "next great franchise,” which will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 3 console. No details were offered on just what that franchise might be, though.

Sounds like something separate from GTA to me

Is there a news report stating the next gta game will be sony exclusive? (ie, not from a guys blog, who seems to have made a pretty dodgy assumption)

I'm not saying it isn't true, just that that link doesn't really support the statement
 
I doubt the next GTA games will be Sony exclusives, atleast not this generation of consoles.

Microsoft put millions of dollars to get GTA4 and to get exclusive downloadable content, they wont let the franchise slip away.
