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.

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.

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.

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...

My excitement level is increasing bucket-loads over this! Not long now people! :yay:

 

I'm actually pleased it was delayed, now it's hopefully gonna be even more better then it was back in October.

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.

I suppose you're right. Thing is, everything will probably get finished in Mario Kart in the time it takes for gta to come.

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.
