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

does play still have any copies left?

I preordered it the other day, and I couldnt see anything anywhere saying that they were out of stock...

EDIT: although now their website says out of stock, so im guessing i was in luck when i bought it

just keep an eye in your account for if it goes to packing or awaiting stock etc.. :) happend to me before with a wii from play. people just buy too damn quick on there haha :D!

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 :(

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
