So far so good! Take Two announced on a conference call today they are on schedule for release "between Feb. and Mar. of 2008." Both the PS3 and 360 will be released same day with the 360 getting exclusive Down Loadable Content. Unfortunately, the Wii will not be seeing GTA IV. No mention of the PC version.

After repeated questioning regarding a specific release date for the game, a Take-Two executive responded, "We'll announce the date when we're ready to announce the date."

Though Grand Theft Auto IV will arrive at the same time on both platforms, the company noted it will be providing the Xbox 360 version of the game will with additional downloadable content beyond the 2008 fiscal year. This includes the Xbox 360-only DLC previously announced.

The executives also noted that the game has received an M16+ rating in Australia, based on a rating package that included documentation and gameplay footage--"everything you'd expect," the representative commented.

As far as the Wii goes, a question about the possibility of Grand Theft Auto on the Wii led to an apparent denial. "No disrespect," the company responded, "[but] I think there are other titles better suited for the [Wii] than Grand Theft Auto 4."
