GTA IV (Indian Release) Delayed
By: Avinash Bali   |   Apr 30,2008
As most of you have already realized by now, Grand Theft Auto IV's Indian release has been delayed. We got in touch with the game's local distributors who could not give us a new date but they're optimistic about getting the game within a week or so.


The reason the game's been delayed is because Take Two is facing acute shortage and since India is not a high priority market we just have to sit patiently and wait till they send us stock. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened to us and I'm dead sure it's not the last time.

udit, GTA is not a MS game - its a take 2 rockstar.... given the state of indian gaming i am not suprised that indian releases are delayed - i mean how many of us will shell out 3000 for the game? how many of us have a gaming console, since its a xbox and ps3 game curently and the number of such consoles are limited in india its obvious that we cannot be a priority..... for crying out loud, we dont know even the studios which make games
while i am a great fan of the gta franchise and i am waiting for the release, i understand y its delayed in india

This isn't the first time that games are being delayed here, almost every game is delayed & many are not even released here. I'm really disappointed with Microsoft India.

They should ask themselves a simple question.

Is it really wrong to blame consumers for buying products from illegitimate sources [like grey market]when they don't have the option of buying the original copy of the game?

Why is the consumer being made to wait? It's not as if we're getting the game for free. We are still going to pay the exact same amount later as we would have payed had the game released on time.
So as a consumer, isn't piracy justifiable in this case?

That's a question Microsoft India and the distributors should think of before even thinking about reducing piracy levels here.
