"Experts" also once said that flying faster than the speed of sound would kill you. GTA needs to be on the market for the holidays to maximize revenue. If you know nothing about games and want to buy a gift for your brats, are you going to go with a game you never heard of, such as Bio-Shock or Two Worlds, or are you going to buy one that you've probably heard of, such as GTA? If they were doing this to delay a revenue stream, there would be a stockholder revolt, and heads would roll in the boardroom. I understand that game and movie release dates are staggered so that they don't conflict, but its the lesser titles that make an adjustment, not the heavyweights. Would George Lucas have moved the Episode 3 release date because the new Ben Afleck movie was coming out, or would the Ben Afleck movie make an adjustment?
