However, I'm not sure what type of sources are generally considered worthy of news items. I have found dozens of articles that say that "Rockstar confirmed" either the exclusivity of the content or the later release date, but have yet to track down a source for this claim. My question is, are there certain sites that we trust enough to "take their word for it," if so, which ones, and if not, where do we look for news items? --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 07:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC) | However, I'm not sure what type of sources are generally considered worthy of news items.

:I don't think that's particularly new - the dates are a little later than I recalled, but 2009Q1 makes sense (aka a 6-month gap). Usually [http://ir.take2games.com/releases.cfm T2] has the confirmed news, but the big fansites [http://www.thegtaplace.com] [http://www.gtagaming.com] [http://www.planetgta.com] [http://grandtheftauto.ign.com] are accurate enough to quote here. I also think the above news post could be tightened up a bit, such as ''"available exclusively for the [[Xbox 360]] through | :I don't think that's particularly new - the dates are a little later than I recalled, but 2009Q1 makes sense (aka a 6-month gap).

I rolledback the [[Steam]] redlink, because it ''is'' relevant and we should have a page explaining (briefly) what it is, how to sign up, how much GTA costs on Steam etc, At the very least a single sentence and links to Steam and Wikipedia, likewise with Xbox Live.

::Yeah, it's not new, though I'm pretty sure the later release date is. It just seemed like something that should be on the news.. And sorry about deleting that redlink... I really know nothing about [[Steam]] (which I guess is even more of a reason to have a page):) | ::Yeah, it's not new, though I'm pretty sure the later release date is.
