Been holding out for Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City on PC or PlayStation 3? You're going to have to wait just a bit longer. Developer Rockstar Games sent word today that the newly multiplatform episodes won't be making their originally announced release date of March 30; instead, expect The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned to finally hit PS3 and PC on April 13 in North America (April 16 everywhere else).
So what's up with the delay? Apparently Rockstar opted to make some "minor content changes" to the PS3's PAL version of the game at the request of Sony Europe. What these changes are, exactly, remains unclear, but a representative from Rockstar assured us that the alterations won't affect players' enjoyment of the games. They also noted that the adjustments have nothing to do with the requirements of any local ratings boards.
We'll let you know as soon as we know anything more about whatever it is Sony wanted cut from (or added to?) Episodes from Liberty City.

I think you may have answered your own question, maybe Sony wanted it to go head to head with Splinter Cell.
They might of had some issues with it.
Physical Disc, SCEE has requested some Internet and TV content to be edited, so the EU Version of the game will be cut for some mysterious reason! Import folks, don't give into the EU's censorship that let the 360 version go by uncut!
We wil find out it might be something better like specifying an higher bitrate for the video.
A two week delay is too short for anything but a minor cut.
On a professional encoder kit a all the video could be encoded in a matter of hours.
