Grand Theft Auto IV DELAYED Until '08

This has to be the worst news I have heard today, heck, probably this year. The game that so many were looking forward to this October has been officially delayed until at least April '08. Take-Two's official explanation for this horrific news:

"Due to additional development time required to complete the title" the game has been pushed back."

"Certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected, especially given the commitment for a simultaneous release on two very different platforms."

So the cause of the delay is because of the simultaneous release of the game for the PS3 and 360. It probably is the PS3 version they are having trouble with, considering they didn't even show anything about it at this year's E3. But I think there is more to this delay. Money maybe? Everyone knows Take-Two is being hit hard this year, especially with Manhunt 2. They may be scared that Halo 3 will take to much spotlight away from the series, inevitably causing an even greater loss in money. Oh well, I guess it's all for the best. Right?
