no gonads and GTA4 to play with, or gonads left in-tact but no GTA4, I know which I would prefer.
end of they day you have no gonads in the first place if your too scared of what your missis will do to you just for buying a games console.

Not sure if its still running but use the voucher experience08 i think, 5% off, which of course makes it £190.
very rare that any shops ever give me a valid tracker number, the exception, unfortunately, seems to be CityLink
But the fact that the mail was sent before 9am suggests it was the morning pickup which hopefully means its en route...im skeptical as to getting it on release day mind
One of my workmates used to work on Sony Quality Assurance.
He was the lead QA guy in charge of PSN and got to know quite a few devs, some of which now work for Rockstar.
He told me that every game has to send all "easter eggs" for approval, especially since the "hot Coffee" incident. He saw an initial tech demo yonks ago, where they were showing off the physics and there were hidden jokes you could spot in the background like signs saying "lucky Pierre's deli - Fresh French sandwiches everyday"
These jokes seemed to have sneaked through and is still in the game, so when you play it... don't rush through people, take some time to take in your surroundings

Not long now , about time as well. Seems like an age
Yeah mine says on the site it has been shipped and have a royal mail reference number for it but just keeps saying "come back later"
I too will go down the supermarket tomor morning if it does not arrive and send the special edition back!
If you've got a Parcelforce tracking number (usually begins with PB or VM) then you won't get a status til 2000 or so. If you've got Special Delivery (usually SG) then you won't get a status until after delivery. Same with Recorded Delivery.
Don't make the same mistake I did and scroll down past half way.

Damn, come home, nothing. So much for getting it early 
I'm in a foul mood as well, could have done with loading up some GTA.

Started new job today, sat through 7 hours of DBPP (Death By PowerPoint) and all I could think of was coming home to play my GTA IV game that should have been here (Considering it was sent last Thurs..) Money was taken out 25th so it surely must have been sent...?
No such luck! I come home with high hopes and nothing. Can't go to midnight launch because then I will be up all night playing it and with 7 hours more DBPP tomorrow I KNOW I will fall asleep in the middle of it.
What are the chances of me getting my pre-order tomorrow?
If it's not here tomorrow I will have to go around hunting it down but down here in the south-west it's never an easy thing to do
EDIT: Gots me a tracking number as well but that still says come back later
It starts ZJ so not to sure what that's about...
