McPhee Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Just Pre-ordered this from Zavvi and got 3 months of Live free. Pretty sweet! That's a silly deal! Guess im buying from there now...
Daft Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 That's a silly deal! Guess im buying from there now... Yeah, it suits me perfectly! I was debating getting the PS3 version because I really didn't want to renew Live but this is ideal. I might still get the PS3 version later on when its a lot cheaper. I'm slowly shifting everything to my PS3.
Helmsly Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Retailers warn of GTA IV shortages The games industry seems to be stronger than ever in the United Kingdom at the moment. Titles like Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit are seeing unprecedented demand and are selling out weeks before they hit shelves. The same fate now appears to be affecting Grand Theft Auto IV. Some of the country's biggest retailers are now reporting that they will not be able to fulfill any more pre-orders of the standard edition of the game until some time after April 29, with others simply refusing to accept any more requests. The country's biggest games retailer, GAME claims that "We cannot guarantee delivery on the day of release for orders placed on or after the 7th of April". The same problem can be found on the websites of other chains which the company owns, Gamestation and Gameplay. Online-only retailers are also facing shortages. Jersey based Play.com informs customers that "We are currently sold out on this item." for the PS3 standard edition, and Shopto.net ceased accepting orders some time ago. Those who have not placed their order yet may find themselves forced into buying the £69.99 Special Edition. Source: http://www.gtagaming.com/
Ramar Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I never pre-ordered San Andreas and I had to wait a week for the stores to get it back in, one of the biggest gaming mistakes I ever made. I expected shortages, thats why I pre-ordered months ago.
ReZourceman Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Aye, same here. On any games that I expect to sell out, I pre-order at least 2 months in advance/asap. Its simple.
Strider Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Does anyone know how ASDA are for delivery times? They seem to be doing the pre-order too for £38 which looks good.
ViPeR Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Those multi-player shots look immense. Looks like acting out a die hard film.
Happenstance Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I only really got interested in the game about a week or so ago and preordered some im not sure if i'll get mine straight away or not. Hopefully but who knows.
flameboy Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 From PSU; GAME commented on its website: "We cannot guarantee delivery on the day of release for orders placed on or after the 7th of April," adding, "we are currently sold out of this item. All orders will be dispatched on a first come, first served basis." Thank god I preordered the day I bought my PS3...
Owen Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 My excitement level is increasing bucket-loads over this! Not long now people! I'm actually pleased it was delayed, now it's hopefully gonna be even more better then it was back in October.
Aalborg Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 well I have pre-ordered but if it doesnt arrive on the day i will survive.. I think i have "outgrown" the days when I took a day off work just to "get this new fab game" ha ha.. a pity though.. those were the days
Happenstance Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Just finished reading up about the multiplayer, it sounds excellent. Cant wait to try it out. Think I may actually have to order myself a new headset now.
Guest Stefkov Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Stefan As you may have seen on hmv.com we have sold out of our initial allocation of Grand Theft Auto IV, and are now unable to guarantee delivery for release date on any orders placed on or after 9th April. The good news is that your order with us was placed before this date, and is secure. We'll be shipping the game to you in time for launch on April 29th, don't worry - your order is safe with us. Don't forget, we'll also be sending you 1000 Xbox LIVE points and a voucher book with over £130 worth of savings with your game! We hope you're as excited about Grand Theft Auto IV's imminent release date as we are. Regards, hmv.com games department Woop. Brilliant, I cannot wait. Screw Mario Kart.
flameboy Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Woop. Brilliant, I cannot wait. Screw Mario Kart. My feeling exactly...cannot wait to get online with this. hope can find 15 people to play with!
ReZourceman Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 But...but theres some time with Mario Kart before GTA arrives....savour it while you can!
Guest Stefkov Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I suppose you're right. Thing is, everything will probably get finished in Mario Kart in the time it takes for gta to come.
flameboy Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 But...but theres some time with Mario Kart before GTA arrives....savour it while you can! why when I still have the sublime Pro Evo Wii to play...
ViPeR Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I got the same e-mail from HMV, wasn't actually expecting to get it on the day they're usually shit with delivery. Fire Emblem Wii will keep me going until then.
