Grand Theft Auto IV System Wraps spotted in Target

The images you see above are taken by Jordan from Planet Grand Theft Auto. It seems that Target stores are offering a free Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 system wrap when you pre-order Grand Theft Auto IV in the store.

A system wrap is basically several pieces that fit onto the outer portion of your console (Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3) to customize the look. These system wraps are black and they display the full Grand Theft Auto IV logo. For more details, visit your local Target store.

While this is for American kiddies only, just like the Amazon car plate offer, you can still rejoice. It seems that the Grand Theft Auto IV release date has been further narrowed down, and is Rockstar Games’ idea of a Christmas present, I guess.

Remember those screenshots and artwork released shortly before Christmas? Those screenshots were from the Grand Theft Auto IV Christmas goodie pack sent out to webmasters of certified fan sites. Together with the screenshots, came a release date - “Spring 2008″.

Nothing special, it seems. Most of us seem to think that Spring 2008 is the same period that’s between February to April. Well, that isn’t ture. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Spring is definitely the period from March to May. However, the second quater of Take Two Interacive’s fiscal year of 2008 is from February to April.

So, what does that mean? If Grand Theft Auto IV has to be released in Spring 2008, as well as in the time period of the second quater of Take Two Interacive’s fiscal year of 2008, it has to be released between the months of March and April.

Coincidentally, the release date provided my Target and MCV are March 2008 and 25th April, respectively. All these means Grand Theft Auto IV will indeed be released in a time period between these two months.

Of course, the release dates provided by MCV and Target are nothing but rumors. The release date window that’s provided by Rockstar Games seems to be between March and April, so we better stick to it. While this is nothing but old news, it is indeed something that other Grand Theft Auto fan sites haven’t seem to spot.
