2009 was suppossedly confirmed by developers at the VGAs back in mid-December.

Shuhei Yoshida (Sony WWS CEO) also confirmed God of War III along with Killzone 2 and M.A.G. for 2009 this month.

Gamestop is not a reliable source for release dates. It's always possible that the game could get delayed, but I'm gonna need a little more proof (or really any for that matter) that a projected Gamestop release date holds more worth than that of the developers as well as a Sony CEO's.
