GTA V delayed until September 17th

Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto V will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 from September 17.

The company has revealed that while the game was originally intended for a much earlier release sometime this spring, the delay was necessary in order to polish the game up.

A statement reads, "We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.

"To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience."

No reference is made to the rumoured PC and Wii U versions of the game so, if you're hoping to play the game on a platform other than PS3 or Xbox 360, it looks like you may have to keep waiting that little bit longer.

Pretty expected. They pretty much announced it out of nowhere. And they avoid releasing with all of the big games coming out this Spring.

No it has me wondering if they did this so they can make a port for the Xbox 720.

I trust rockstar tho, if they feel delaying it will amount to a better game, I'm on board with them. They don't disappoint as a company, they consistantly come thru

Yeah I'm actually not upset at all as Feb and March is going to be insane for upcoming new releases.

What is that in your sig?

Figured this would get pushed back around holiday time. Kinda over it tbh at this point. I'll probably wait until it's really cheap to purchase used.
