Is the PS3 to Blame?
An analyst named Michael Pachter thinks Rockstar delayed GTA IV because they ran into problems developing the PLAYSTATION 3 version of the game. Since Rockstar agreed with Sony that neither console would get an advantage over the other, they can't release one version while the other is delayed.

Exclusive Rockstar Campaign for PS3
Micheal Shorrock, a senior employee at Sony Computer Entertainment America, stated on the PlayStation blog that Sony and Rockstar are working on exclusive PS3 content. This is news that could easily dispel the hype that has built up around the Xbox 360 over the past few weeks.

A few days ago we posted an alleged Games Aktuell preview, but it now looks like the one below is the real deal. Either way, the older info is not to be neglected either.

In return, I promise that next week, say on a nice Wednesday (supposedly it will be 25 degrees =)), I'll set aside a little time and finish the last part of our analysis.
Official Xbox Magazine Preview (US)
The American Official Xbox Magazine has also got its hands on the demo that quite a few magazines have already reported on, so we didn't learn many earth-shattering new things. Still, let's not be sad: the little news bits can be interesting and exciting too.
