![Microsoft didn't get GTA IV's DLC delay memo [Update] photo](http://www.destructoid.com/elephant/ul/89655-patrick.jpg)
Before the weekend, Take-Two announced that the Xbox 360's exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV DLC would be delayed until next year, but it seems that Microsoft has other ideas. The company, which paid a David Bowie's ransom for the downloadable content, is still pretty sure we'll be seeing more from Liberty City later this year.
"Comment from us stays at: ‘The first of the Xbox 360 exclusive "Grand Theft Auto IV" episodes will be available beginning fall 2008," stated an MS rep. I love the way that's worded, as if to say that content will come even if Shane Kim has to make it himself out of some tins and a bit of old string. It doesn't seem to matter what Take Two's intentions are.
Can't really fault The 'Soft on this one. A lot of money changed hands for that content and I imagine MS expected it on a certain date. In the meantime, someone needs to fetch Shane some string.
[Update: Microsoft sent me an email just to let me know that the company did, in fact, get the memo but isn't worried. As some readers have pointed out, T2's 2009 fiscal starts in November, so even though there is a slight delay, The 'Soft still happily expects GTA IV DLC in 2008. Good news for all!]

Seriously though, hmmmmmzzz!!!!
R* gives us "Kill William Fence."
Sorry. I'm roughly 83% through IV and it's like a chore. I'm not even enjoying it anymore and haven't been for quite a while. I want to like the game, I really do, but it's just so... boring. Sigh.
Take Two delayed the DLC until their "Fiscal Year" Q1 2009, which is actually November 1, 2008 - January 31, 2009. So I'm pretty sure MS got the memo and are talking from the same sheet when they say Fall 2008.
"Whoops."
New missions? Cars? NPC's? Cocks?
Fall ends on December 20th.
:o
who will be playing GTA4 in 2009?
