Those waiting for more Grand Theft Auto IV content will have to wait a little bit longer. According to Take-Two's Fiscal Q3 2008 report, the first batch of GTA IV downloadable content will be coming in Q1 of fiscal 2009, instead of the originally planned Q4 of fiscal 2008. In real calendar terms, that means the DLC, which is rumored to include whole new cities, is due between November 1, 2008, and January 31, 2009.
The reason behind the delay, according to Take-Two, was to "provide a better balance in Take-Two's release schedule." The statement specifically mentioned Xbox 360, with no talk of content for the PS3.

No worries here, I'm still at 5%. So I still have a lot of GTA4 fun to go.
But it is disappointing that they "promised" it this year. Still, I have MGS4 to play. ("7 days")

Well odds say they would be still keeping their promise, though just barely.
The article says Q1 2009 is between "November 1, 2008, and January 31, 2009" so 2 out of the three months are 2008 and if they do release it in January they were off only by a month max.

Microsoft did not pay for content they gave Rockstar a $50,000,000 advance. This means Rockstar will not see a penny of profits from the DLC until the money made from sales pay's back Microsoft's $50,000,000.
There is no such thing as free money in this world....
...Except when you find it off course or when you get given free money or you inherit it but apart from that there is no such thing as free money :P

A little off-topic but that looks like Milford, DE, which is just north of me. Interesting.

As others have said, I don't find this delay to be terribly surprising.
What I do find surprising is that yes, that is, in fact, Milford, DE, and that someone else here at Joystiq actually RECOGNIZED it. I am awed.

Not bothered - it's to be expected considering that the game itself was delayed 6 months and as the DLC was announced at the same time the game was, it was to be expected that the DLC would be delayed 6 months too - not only for production purposes, but also to maintain and extent the game's longevity.

I find this fascinating. You have money invested in PS3 now. That systems success basically determines whether or not that $400 goes to the ether. And yet you sometimes troll it harder than Fernando or Wii60Warrior...

There was a new saints row 2 trailer released today, that showed doing things way better and more fun then in gta4. Perhaps the dlc is delayed to compete?
I know after watching that SR2 trailer I couldnt care less about another city in GTA4 when SR2 is offering so much more gameplay elements.
