Shed a tear, gamers: Blockbuster PlayStation 3 title Metal Gear Solid 4 has been delayed until the second quarter of 2008, that's April, May and June. The official word:

"Konami has decided to delay the title's release in order to make further improvements to the quality of the game and provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide. Konami will continue its efforts to make Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots meet everyone's expectations."

Also: "further information regarding the release date will be announced as soon as possible."

This news is bad, but because we're eternally optimistic, we've compiled some reasons this might actually be a good thing:

1. Gaming's summer drought of good games won't happen this year...if it really does come out in spring/summer 2008, and not, say, next holiday season.
2. There is no real reason to suspect this is true (other than endless 'net rumors), but it would be awesome for 360 owners if the delay was because they are working on an Xbox port...or even a Wii version. Too much to ask?
3. More free-time for studying and learning cello.
4. Cancer cured faster by idle PS3s running Folding@home.
5. More time to delve into the intricacies of that rubber duck game.
