Woohoo! Something to look forward to every month in Spring. February's DMC4, March SSBB, April GTAIV.

Will begin finishing up my semester, so this couldn't have come at a better time. Gotta reserve it...GTAIV will go off shelves in a matter of minutes, as would other popular titles coming out this year.

I've had mine reserved and paid for since last June.
I'm not happy with that date though. I was hoping for it be sooner. It was meant to be March/April not April/May.
Ah well, at least we have a date I suppose.

Too late for my liking.

Just as long as it doesn't get delayed again. They have a lot of time to make it awesome.

  They have to make sure everything's fine, there's a lot of pressure on them to make it just right and to meet it's expectations. Like you said though, I hope it's not delayed once more.

  It won't get delayed again now that's there's a solid release date instead of a vague "Spring 2008" like before. This is a great time for me personally, just after my exams.

April 29th? Not a bad release date, actually. I had much trouble with San Andreas and vice City being released in OCtober/November, when things were real hectic in school at the time. April's pretty good, things are winding down and I can enjoy the game.

This release date is not even in the first quarter. This pisses me off. I had the game purchased before 10/19/07 and now its being released the SECOND quarter NOT the first?! This is so damned disappointing... I think I would punch the crap out of a Rockstar executive if the opportunity were to arise.
