by Alec Matias, Sep 09, 2004 8:00pm PDTPhew, dodged a bullet there with that GTA delay. Same thing happened last time with Vice City; a one week delay for more polish. I think we've been pretty lucky this holiday season regarding delays; all of the biggest titles are still on track and what has been pushed back is still right around the corner after Christmas. Still, I know it must be hard for many of you (myself included) to decide which triple-A title to pick up first. I hope we can all shell out the $20 for Katamari Damacy, though.
 | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas DELAYED The must-have game of October, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, has been pushed back until later this year. Later being only a week. Take-Two Interactive announced the delay in their third-quarter report stating, "The title's launch date was moved to allow additional time for final testing of the game, which exceeds the size, depth and scope of traditional videogames." The new date is October 26. |

Nintendo DS to sell for $200?
Game Informer has noticed online retailers have been updating their sites with a price for the Nintendo DS. They place the $$$ at $200, a bit higher than most are expecting. Of course, this signifies nothing and could just be GameStop/EBgames trying to get pre-orders in ASAP.

Square Enix Trademarks More Names
After clearing the last batch of their recent trademarks, Square Enix does a whole bunch more. "Code Age" is the prominent theme among all the trademarks but nothing else is known as to what they will be used for. 1up speculates either a toy line or a table-top RPG/card game.

Dont download the Mastercheif Desktop thingy. It is only good for offers and contests in the UK and Ireland. Also, it froze my computer 3 times before I finally got it uninstalled, and it made fun of my sick old grandma.
