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

EEuurugghhhh, I wish I didn't stay up till 3am last night... getting up for work was a chore and I am now having withdrawal symptons!

I had a right blast last night. All against all was insane, but annoying when you spawn next to people or in front of them cause they gun you down.

I actually was crying with laughter and trying to muffle it to save waking the family... everyone was really rubbish and I was trying to get in this guys car and he is beeping the horn. He then reverses to help me find the door (lol) and knocks me over.... I finally get up and open the passsenger door when an RPG blows us to pieces and I here him ranting away on the mic.

Good times! I love it when a game comes out and everyone is rubbish!
 
Well after disappointment at midnight I managed to bag a copy this morning.

Got to a different supermarket that doesn't open 24 hours and there were around 15 or so waiting at the doors.

Got to the counter and the lady had a stash of about 30 of each format.

First guy in the queue bought 5 copies of the 360 one and I thought **** :eek:

Certainly a lot of places around South Birmingham have SOLD OUT.
 
No shortage round your end means no shortage anywhere? :confused: :p

Well, even the highstreet music sho pin town that was opened at midnight still have the sign "limited stock" and I can see about 20 on the shelf, god knows how many they have in the back.

I went over the road to the old British crappy department store and bagged one.

My never pre-ordered, and no freezing cold waits at midnight and still getting the game on launch day streak continues ! :D
 
My copy from a high street competitor still isn't here :(

Apparently posted on Sunday (?) and the provided tracking number doesn't show up on the RM Webby :(
 
Queue of 30 outside a highstreet shop this morning on the way to work

Crazy stuff, you really wouldnt be able to get a copy in Abingdon now, sold out everywhere
 
Mine is on its way. For those that had the "shipped on the 24th but then said shipped on the 28th.." Well, it was shipping on the 24th but only to a depot till today. They were just holding it there. I guess parcelforce/Royal Mail were all giving instructions about this game. Well, thats the story I've read anyway.

I have an interview today for the Army, so, I'm going to wait till I get back to play GTA4. I'll also be picking up a few bottles a guinness on my way home. Virtual hookers and beer, can't get any better than that.
 
MASS RECALL OF BOTH VERSIONS




Wow seems people are going bonkers over this, glasd I put the effort in to get on on saturday
Arn't I soooo funny. Il come on multiplayer tonight, gotta get involved with cops and robbers or free roaming, and team deathmatch
 
Why does the camera center on the player when in a car and not on the center of the car :mad: and the camera also turns too slow when driving :(

I think I also saw that when you drive car type A you see more of those cars driving around, when you change cars to a type B you see more of those cars driving but it could be a coincidence (this was in older versions of the game)

Autoaim is dead easy, this wasn't in the older Playstation versions, or was it?

Is it special delivery ? I very rarely see an active special delivery tracking number till after its delivered, and even when it does turn up its on the morning itself saying *your packagae is with us and is on schedule to be delivered on or before the guaranteed (?) date of XXXXX the XX at XXXX*
 
Picked it up this morning before work from a local competitor! although the first shop i tried had sold out. A bit out of my way be it was worth it. I managed to get it for £14.97 by trading in 2 older games and the sneakyness of the guy infront of me.

We were the first two people there, and there were more waiting behind us. The bloke at the front asked if they price matched a local supermarket, and the guy at the till agreed. So he got it for 34.97. but this was agreed on loud enough for the whole store to hear. So I think everyone that was waiting got atleast £10 knocked off! I bet the shop assistant is rather annoyed at him :D

Well the tracking number I've been given comes back from the RM Webby as Pre-9am RMSD and I was emailed to that effect too....

I'm not to fussed as I have the whole week off just slightly bemused...
 
Got it this morning, woop! Waited outside a store for it to open and they had 36 for general sale. Now to rub it in the faces of all my mates still waiting for there pre-orders after they said "You'll never get it in shops on Tuesday!"
