Haha, actually mine was from Tesco, and for some reason I'm using them again for GTA5. I get the feeling I'll be driving to town on release day to get a copy when it fails to turn up though!

Oh, and a really interesting interview with the Art Director for the game:

Wow, I was not expecting this when I woke up this morning! So much new content, it was kind of hard to take it all in.

Did anyone notice the collection of postcards showing various areas of the game, including one new one for 'North Dankt', where it appeared to be snowing?

Does that mean there'll be snow?

Also, looks like a cool cable car system at the top of the mountain.

The interview is long and there is a lot more at the source. Fans should definitely check out the whole thing. Aaron Garbut is the man who was being interviewed.

A must read for any fan.

This makes me happy.


Grand Theft Auto IV was our first headlong jump into current-gen consoles. We had a lot to learn in every aspect, not just technically but artistically and even in terms of production. As I mentioned earlier, I think we moved from effectively building a world out of some roads and boxes to a much, much more detailed creation. That first jump was really hard. Since then, though, we’ve had a lot more experience. We’re comfortable building assets at this level of detail and our coders are comfortable with the machines. We’ve pushed them much, much further than before.

The main thing we wanted to achieve was to pull off this sense of scale. The way we don’t limit the draw distance and draw the lights so far back really emphasizes this. We have a load of tech just geared toward the countryside, from heat haze to cloud shadows, to the water to the advanced fog.
On the streaming side we’re able to do so much more. That’s let us make the world not just a lot bigger but much more detailed than IV was. There’s just so much going on, not just on the backdrop of the world but in the life on the street.

Whats the best place to get this a good price?

Tesco might still have a discount code on their site, they're worth checking. Cheapest (with effort) is probably Gamestop, they're doing a trade-in offer where you get the game for £4.99 if you trade in two eligible titles, the list contains some games you can find quite cheaply elsewhere so it's possible to get the game for about £25.
