PSP GTA Release Date

[Dave Baumann]

OK, so I'm in Washington at the moment and prior to coming out here I checked some PSP release dates and saw that GTA was scheduled to come out tommorrow initially; I figured that would work rather nicely as I could pick it up whilst out here. So, today I stop by a Gamestop I happen to see on the way back to the hotel to check its release date - unfortunatly I see on their board a date of 21-July. So, I go to check at the desk to see if thats accurate and he looks it up and says "Oh, they've pushed it back, its not not scheduled until October".

So, does anyone have any advance on the release date of this?

At one point it was September 1st, the PSP euro launch date, but they pushed it back a bit. I think my friend in the press said something about October as well. I'll try to get a hold of him later today and confirm the date.

The official site just says "coming soon".

Bah, I was hoping to be playing it sooner than October. Hrm.

Says 3rd October now on the GameStop site.

Apparently no date has been set in stone, but my press contact suggested late October or early November.

Hngghh, apparently getting my PSP this weekend at long last. Can't wait!

Sure! Didn't ya hear about the firmware protection loader that came out? It prevents games from upgrading your firmware.

Sure! Didn't ya hear about the firmware protection loader that came out? It prevents games from upgrading your firmware.

..and occasionally prevents them from running at all when those games do use the updated firmware : )

Anyone know the firm release date? My boss is out in the US atm and can pick it up for me if it's going to be out in the next week or so.

EDIT: Bah, seems 24th October is the due date. Nevermind
