Rockstar announced today that the release of Midnight Club: Los Angeles has been pushed back about a month from September 9th to October 7th. In addition, the PSP take on the game (Midnight Club: LA Remix) will also be releasing on the same day. Delays are common and usually inevitable in the game publishing industry, so moving it back one week isn't such a big deal. I'm sure our crack reporting team that will be covering E3 will be able to ask the question and find out if there is anything sinister behind the delay.
