*** Grand Theft Auto IV - The Official Thread ***

No one will get it early spoke to somone, can't say... they had to sign somet which will not allow them to ship the game until 1 day before release.

Edit: I will add if that makes any difference ill be suprised.

What with all this talk of stores releasing it early for sale and what have you, what are the implications for the companies that blatently break the 29th worldwide release? Are R* going to get on their case, are Sony/Microsoft going to step in?

On top of that, my order has completed and Im wary of playing it too early and getting a Microsoft McBan. Its a minefield.

If you do get it early its probably better to play the 360 in offline mode. I can see the street date being broken before the weekend most likely. Just takes one clueless employee to flog a copy then the words out and everyones flocking there.

Surely they can't ban you if you legitamately received a bought and paid for copy early - it's the retailer that has broken an agreement, not you!!!

I'm sure R* would have a moan at the retailers, but some of these supermarkets are so big that they really don't give a stuff. Don't you remember a few years back when a few top name sports brands tried to stop them from selling their trainers etc cheaper than other retailers?
 
At the end of the day there's no rush really is there, what are the chances of being one of the few who gets 100% first or whatever it is they say a reward will be given out for ?
Also I just know I won't want to trapse round the Supermarkets after having been to the Gym, I think I'd rather chill and let it arrive on my doorstep next week.
I for one have got plenty of other stuff to play, might even be able to get on Metal Gear Online this weekend !

So what about I if buy a genuine copy of the game early from a retailer ( I would never get a pirate copy of such a highly anticipated game tbh ) - Will I be able to post pics of said game in my hand? <----with bread of course ;)

My wife and daughter are away for the weekend so it's the perfect opportunity for me to have a good old fashioned gaming marathon... that's my reason for wanting it early :)
