According to UK games trade magazine <a href="http://www.mcvuk.com/" target="_blank">MCV</a>, the release date for GTA: Vice City has slipped slightly. It's now set for October 29th in the US, and November 8th in Europe.

More news as I get it...

A week or so is no great hardship compared to other games slippage - but every day that I don't have this game is like needles in my skin.

Sadly not. For religious purposes, every day until the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, I have a little bit more work done on a giant tattoo on my stomach, gradually forming an image of Ernest Borgnine riding a motorcycle through the eye socket of a skull.

Damn.....we have to wait a week later.

For a game like this that could be like an eternity....

I can wait. As much as I want Vice City, I haven't ever finished the original GTA III yet.

Goddamn videogame backlogs.

Yup, just got back from EB to put some cash down on GTA and they confirmed this. There is a lot of other stuff coming out next month to tide me over though. At least now I can play THPS4 without GTA interruption for a week.

Looks like they added the visual style that GTA3 was sorely lacking. Motorcycle is finally back, soundtrack looks decent... I might buy the pc version if it has network play.

Hey, you stole that from my Mom! When did you see... oh wait, never mind, I don't want to know.

I could have sworn that was Meatloaf riding a tricycle through a block of swiss cheese on your mom. Will pay more attention next time.

So did we ever find out if the suspicously hi-def screens released so far are in fact PS2?

Yeah, I saw that commercial a few days ago. Two weeks from today and I will be playing me some GTA:VC, can't wait.

Pre-ordered today on Amazon for 47 bucks. I smell a skipping of all classes on November 12.

I don't even know when i'll get this.

Unless copies get put aside for employees...I won't be seeing it for awhile i'd wager. We have over 300 pre-orders on the first shipment, about 100 on the second shipment. Thing is gonna fall off of the shelves.

Every day that goes by that Vice City is not released is a day that the forces of Cthulhu gain influence.

IGN did some swank hands-on coverage of it last night.

That would be so, except Hastur's boyfriend is already addicted to the Asheron's Call2 beta.

It is being released two days before my birthday. This is a sign from god. Or a god. Dionysus, perhaps.

OK, I preordered my copy of Vice City on 9/13 the IGN Gamestore. Mostly because they had a 5 dollar instant rebate and NextDay Air Shipping made it around 50 bucks which is fine with me.

Then the waiting began.

But I went to check my order status again, and the page said that VC ships on 11/4/02. WTF!
That is a week after the supposed release. My thinking is that my release date if for the 2nd shipment for IGN. But I ordered a month and a half early. BULLSHIT. People preorder so they don't get it LATE. Anyone have anything to add?

I know the local EBs reserve list spilled over into the second shipment almost three months ago, so this is probably accurate. I luckily had my copy paid off about five months in advance so I should be ok, if not someone will be injured.

If I get mine, I don't care when I get it. I pre-ordered it the other day at EBWorld....

Their website says "Still available for launch delivery." If you haven't pre-ordered it from there, now is the time.....
