It is... 29th to be exact.

Is this thread for released titles only?

Woolworths are doing GTA 4 special edition for ?60 which is ?10 off most places and it is free delivery. I dunno what their delivery times are like but seeing as the game is released on a Tuesday, then most places won't actually post the game until the Monday.

Is that offer online only?

March 20, 2008

Couldn't edit my original post, I misread the original post about GTA4, I read it as "released on tuesday" not "on a tuesday". I'll have to stop speed reading posts :)

Not that it matters, HMV have a much better deal.

Special edition for the same ?60 price, free delivery AND 1000 Microsoft points!

You'll also get 10% off if you're a student, so special edition + 1000 points for ?54 (or regular edition + 1000 points for ?40 - 36 if you're a student).

Quote from HMV WebsiteWhat if I pre-order the Special Edition of GTA IV?/b>
If you pre-order the Special Edition of GTA IV on Xbox 360, you?ll only be receiving the money-off vouchers, not the 1000 Xbox LIVE points. The points are only eligible to those pre-ordering the Standard Edition version on Xbox 360.

March 20, 2008

Oh ****, I missed that. My bad! Still, it's not a bad deal for either version.

March 20, 2008

Awesome deal. I have some vouchers for HMV too, so I'm going to get myself the regular game for ?35, with 1000 MS points:DD

March 22, 2008

I've read some horror stories regarding HMV pre-orders, so I'm going to give that a miss.

Does anyone know if there is a GAME.co.uk discount code in circulation?

March 22, 2008

The GTA woolworths offer is in store too.

Woolworths also are doing an offer on 360s

?200 and 3 free games (PGR 4, Fifa 08 and The Simpsons)

I can also confirm that it is a HDMI premium 360. I just went up there and got my brother one.

I think you might be right about HMV, I just got an email from them telling me that my preorder was cancelled because "they couldn't fix it". Apparently the problem they're referring to was in a previous email they sent that I never received, so I have absolutely no idea what the problem is. Well done, HMV!

March 22, 2008

I pre-ordered Lost Odyssey from HMV, got it fine but the disc was faulty, took them 2 weeks to send out a new copy cause they are based in the Channel Islands and also the store and the online store are two different companies meaning you can;t just swap in the store .

March 22, 2008

HMV = Hopeless Morons with Videogames ... I only use them for music. Every order I have made that isn't audio related has been f00ked up in some way. The last one they sent my stuff to someone else was only when I queried why it hadn't arrived they realised the error.

Anyhoo back on topic, Asda are doing Bully for ?32.97 instore, which isnt to bad:))

The game should be RRP Of 29.99, anymore than that is too expensive cause its not a new game

March 23, 2008

Yeah HMV are really bad with Pre-Orders imo, I pre-ordered GoW off them and got it a week after the release date, and now i pre-ordered Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, and im still waiting so wont be getting that till Monday, if then.

March 23, 2008

I'll be pre-ordering with Gameplay I think then. ?34.99 (with discount code) plus 99p first class post.

It's also ?34.99 on Amazon, but P&P is a little more pricey.

True, but that's 2nd class postage. Doubt it'll arrive a day before release as it would with 99p 1st class.

March 23, 2008

Yeah super saver can sometimes be good and sometimes it is terrible.

I've got the special edition pre-ordered at Woolworths and selected store pick up. In the past when i've done pre-orders on the 360 and Wii consoles they arrived usually in the afternoon on release day.
