No Saints Row 2 PC in 2008?

A few weeks ago we reported that Saints Row 2, the open world action game from developer Volition and publisher THQ, was going to miss being released side-by-side with the console versions. Now it appears that the game might miss a PC release for 2008 entirely.

Pre-order listings for the game on Gamestop, Amazon.com and Wal-Mart all now show a Jan. 5, 2009 release date for the PC version. These retail dates are, of course, always suspect and we have contacted THQ's PR rep for clarification. THQ has said little about the PC game's release ever since we officially confirmed with them that a PC port was indeed in the works. Hopefully the PC version will be released before the already revealed Saints Row 3 comes out.

I'm cool with it if it means a more stable and better performing game. I have quite enough to play on my PC for the rest of 2008. Take your time, fellas!Posted at 7:09PM on Oct 27th 2008 by Sokkratez

Not like I don't have a dozen other games to play but this is still pretty lame. I have no problem with games getting delayed but devs and pubs should be up front about and and say 'Yes, the game has been delayed' and give us at least a rough time frame (Q1, Feb, Spring) as for when to expect it. Nothing makes me want to cancel my pre-order more than having no clue when the game is actually going to come out.

I'm sorta ok with this but i'm from the UK i ordered my copy of the game from play.com today and is says "Due for release on 07/11/2008."
So will this be out then or 2009 also on steam it says "Available this winter"?
I would really be greatful is someone can shed some light on this.
