The new Saint Row 2 trailer seems to be taking shots at GTA IV.

The first episode of downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV has been delayed till the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

“Fiscal 2008 guidance reflects the release of the first installment of episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 instead of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 in order to provide a better balance in Take-Two’s release schedule.”

Not that unexpected considering that GTA IV it self was delayed.
