Bioshock Infinite was originally set for a Q1 2012 release date. More specifically, sites had posted that the game would be available February 1st. Obviously, this was a placeholder since that date falls on a Wednesday and a majority of games in North America release on a Tuesday.
Now, we have reason to believe that the game will be receiving an announcement soon stating that it will be delayed. Popular retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy have removed the 2/1 release date and replaced it with “Pre-Order”. GameStop, however, has changed the date to 8/1.
So, while this is purely speculation, it seems like retail stores got a heads up about a date change. I’m sure that, if this really is the case, we’ll hear about it in the coming weeks from 2K themselves.

December 22, 2011 at 4:23 AMGameStop had the PlayStation Vita listed for $999.99 before it was released. Point being, don’t trust anything a retail website, especially GameStop, has posted until it’s officially announced and confirmed. Besides, we never had an official release date to begin with, so technically the game can’t be delayed at this point.
