This website needs to attempt to stop alienating it's readers around the world.
Mike @ Apr 24th 2008 2:50PM
huh?
Ted @ Apr 25th 2008 5:46AM
I think he's referring to the fact that only information pertaining to U.S. retailers has been posted.
If you're in the U.K., I know that amazon.co.uk and most other etailers has run out of their preorder allocation so you'll have a big wait if you preorder from them now. I'm just going to go to a Zavvi store at opening time, since I asked the store near my house and they said that they have more available than there were preorders, but that they expect to sell out on launch day.
In defence of the site though, you can't expect a website with a primarily U.S. user base to post launch info for every single country. Also, "its readers around the world" not "it's".
Mike @ Apr 24th 2008 2:37PM
already preordered from Newegg - great price, and if it ships from one of their east coast facilities, I'll probably have it in hand on the 30th
mcwattersm @ Apr 24th 2008 2:42PM
I need a list of Canadian stores... Xav?!
Tony @ Apr 24th 2008 2:45PM
The site is based in the US. There are European-based sites and I don't expect them to give me all the latest US information. They can't do everything here... nevermind the fact that the list was made elsewhere.
Does anyone know more about that Blockbuster framed picture?
Raheem @ Apr 24th 2008 2:53PM
There aren't decent European based sites.
JAKEJAX @ Apr 24th 2008 3:26PM
@ Raheem
Sounds like an opportunity to start a decent euro Xbox 360 Fanboy website.
Make it happen baby!
mcwattersm @ Apr 24th 2008 3:39PM
That doesn't change the fact that Xav is Canadian (Or at least I think he is, and if he isn't I have made myself into a big fool), and there is no rule of not posting good places to buy games at Canadian stores...
haritori @ Apr 24th 2008 8:54PM
go to spong.com were all 360 fanboys, nice forum and news forum, and all welcome in europe (UK) any PS3 fanboys keep quite after there intial dig lol
Raheem @ Apr 25th 2008 9:07AM
Cheers for the link, much more helpful than idiots who rank me down for making a valid statement in the right place.
nerrrrrrd @ Apr 24th 2008 2:46PM
I've already pre-ordered the special edition from Amazon.com and I never heard about the code to download gamer pics, does anyone have more info on this? thanks!
nerrrrrrd @ Apr 24th 2008 2:55PM
found out how:
Receive a unique code that will allow you to download 4 Xbox Live Grand Theft Auto gamer pics. Upon redeeming the code you will also be entered into the Xbox Live Grand Theft Auto IV sweepstakes. Codes and redemption directions will be placed in the Download section of Amazon's Media Library. Offer good while supplies last.
I had to google "Amazon's Media Library" cuz I had no clue what that was but it popped up, put in my amazon.com account log in info & clicked the "download" tab.
C. T. @ Apr 24th 2008 3:07PM
Go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/ays and login with your Amazon info, then click on the "Downloads" tab at the top the screen.
qbix @ Apr 24th 2008 3:42PM
What happens if you get the code and then cancel your preorder?
Akilles @ Apr 24th 2008 2:47PM
wow, I preordered from Gamestop, and I regret it whole-heartedly.
D Boy Flex @ Apr 24th 2008 2:48PM
Same here, kinda pisses me off.
ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 24th 2008 3:21PM
Gamestop is the DEVIL!!! hahaha! :)
I already pre-ordered mine from a Best Buy, there was a poster and a code for 4 gamerpics inside the pre-order box. I'll be picking it up Tuesday after work! w00t!
qbix @ Apr 24th 2008 2:50PM
I preordered at Gamestop but I need to have those gamerpics. Are they all going to be the same pics whether I preorder from Amazon, CC, or Gamecrazy? I also want that t-shirt. Damn.
EmptyEnergy @ Apr 24th 2008 2:52PM
Did Target get dropped off the list? Awhile back I read on here that if you preordered with them, you would get a Exclusive Game System Wrap. Is that still on or since the preoders are mostly not available, Target wasn't listed?
J. De Luis @ Apr 25th 2008 12:21AM
The preorder offer ended on Monday 4/21. They are no longer taking preorders.
Raheem @ Apr 24th 2008 2:55PM
How about GAME (UK) giving 500 free MS points plus double reward card points. Also, HMV were doing 1000free MS points plus vouchers. Zaavi were doing Free 3 Month Live Subscription.
Gamertag: GOPAL892005 @ Apr 24th 2008 3:01PM
GAME also gives you the 4xGamerPics with the Double Reward Points & 500 MSP : )
haritori @ Apr 24th 2008 9:01PM
Yeah but GAME is uk`s Version Of GameStop, Full of nob head peeps who dont actually like talking about games unless your interetsed in only there opinion plus the push preorders like if you dont preorder you will forget and the world will end.
HMV is charging £49.99 ($100) for it
and Zavvi are also charging £49.99
forget the points and certain shops online you can pick it up for £29.99 + p&p
Craig @ Apr 24th 2008 4:53PM
If you pre-order from Amazon do you receive the game on it's drop date or does it ship on that date?
TORO @ Apr 24th 2008 2:57PM
Was planning on picking mine up on Tuesday anyway, Circuit City it is!
Jack McSmack @ Apr 24th 2008 3:08PM
Um, I think the people who you took this from ripped off this thread in the cheapassgamer.com forums.
TORO @ Apr 24th 2008 3:34PM
What do you mean "ripped off this thread"? Sorry ur link requires me to register, take a sreenshot ;)

cheepassgamer probably also took their info from gamebits
blank964 @ Apr 24th 2008 4:31PM
I pre-ordered the regular version from the book store on campus.
JAKEJAX @ Apr 24th 2008 5:48PM
Before I had no desire to buy the game. Now, the marketing and the hype is starting to take its effect on me. I might just buy this game.
diamond @ Apr 24th 2008 6:02PM
Gamestop/Ebgames is giving 20% added to trading your games in when you pre-order GTA. Yes, they give you 5 dollars for your 60 dollar game but i figured i'd throw it out there.
wickedpheonix @ Apr 24th 2008 6:06PM
I would've regretted preordering it from GameStop except for the fact that it's the only store I'm going to be near on Tuesday and it's the fastest way to get me playing the game - that trumps pretty much everything imho.
Lee @ Apr 24th 2008 6:28PM
For what it's worth, if your local RadioShack is one of the stores that actually stocks games, they too will be offering a $10 gift card with a GTA purchase. It probably isn't going to be as easy to spend as Circuit City one, but I figured I'd let you know.
haritori @ Apr 24th 2008 9:05PM
your local sony style store is selling the 360 version for $1.50 and you get a free PS3 and copy of GTA4 on PS3 and A 1080p HDTV and exclusive offer is 20,000 shares in Rockstar/T2,
Well they need to get PS3`s to someone somehow?
OptimumEDGE @ Apr 25th 2008 9:23PM
GameStop is offering a 20% off coupon code on the GTA4 strategy guide when you purchase the game (or pick it up) at the same time.
cowman @ Apr 26th 2008 3:12PM
The amazon gamer pics suck..... Don't let that be a deciding factor when you go to preorder the game...
