Play.com sent COD4 a day early for me.

It might happen... if they send it on the Friday or early Saturday we're in with a shot.

A shop here which will remain nameless has already promised people it early but will be charging ?75 - ?100 per copy depending on how well they know you. I hasten to add it's an independent and not a big retail store. It sickens me thought that they will charge that much for something, yes I know people will pay it, but I just feel it is wron:(:(

FYI he says it wil be just for the normal version, not the limited edition.

ya but if it is an independent store and not part of a retail chain, then they wont care that they wont be getting any big games in future, especially when they could preorder the games themselves to put on sale the next day

"Take2 have sent a street date agreement to online retailers to sign which means they cannot ship GTA IV until Monday next week (April 28), this also includes an embargo on staff getting copies either paid for or free."

They just need to package them earlier due to the demand, since you usually package them all the day they need to be sent out.

Heh it aint stopping my mate from getting it early at his work :p

Psy (owner of the site in my sig) just got back from a tour of NYC. He spoke to a Rockstar employee and found out that there won't be ANY DLC for the PS3 version, hidden packages are in the form of pigeons that you have to kill, and you can't kill Ricky Gervais. Now he's off to the Rockstar penthouse for a 12 hour GTA4 marathon with the rest of the fansite admins.

He's going to be in the Comedy Clubs. I personally hate him, and a lot of us were wondering if you could kill him onstage, but you can't :(

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
