[Official] Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

Well, have a few copies coming :laugh:

My Online Order has been packed.

And I've Pre-ordered 4 Copies from my Local EB games in a trade-in ( 3 x Xbox 360 games for 1 GTA IV + 25$ Gift certificate ).

So I'm gonna sell 3 copies, take on of those orders as a PS3 version so i can compare the two games.

WTF?

Nutter for preordering as many :p

On the bright side, I'm getting rid of all my cheap Xbox 360 games i never play, plus the money i make will make up for what i paid.

So I'm getting the game for free, plus 4 x Gift Certificates, Plus 3 Happy friends who get the game a bit cheaper and cleaned out in all my 360 games :laugh:

IMHO, putting multiple preorders in is a very sensible idea. Remember what happened with the Wii? Everywhere was sold out in less than a day, and people were flogging them for ludicrous prices.

If you were to sell them while people were still able to happily murder to get their hands on a copy, then theres a lot of money to be made

Well done that man! eBay is waiting!

Yeah make the stream but dont name it GTA 4, name is something random, like "cooking chicken with ketchup" or something... that wont raise a flag... unless they are hungry.

Think before you post man! I now not only can't wait for GTA but am also hungry! Bah! :laugh:

what are we all complaining about? its not even officially released until tuesday, so monday is a miracle!

If you had put in your order with Game then you would have been guaranteed a release day delivery, but the pre-orders are sold out now

I think its more of a interest thing, normally I get the game on Thursdays when they are meant to be released on Friday.

However is odd to release a game on Tuesday.

Here in North America, games, movies (dvds) and music gets released on Tuesdays. Movies (theatres) open on Friday. Must be different across the pond.

It's odd for the UK to have a game release on Tuesday but this relates back to the US and having their game releases on Tuesday. Hence for a worldwide release and to stop the pirating of the game where people will download the game since it isn't available at retail in their region Tuesday was selected as the day for world wide release.

That may be true, but it's a bit different with games. They are very easy to mass produce. They may be sold out for a week or so. But by the end of the month everyone that wanted the game will have it by then.

I ordered from Amazon UK. Hopefully my copy will be shipped Monday. I called them and they say they haven't even recieved their delivery of games yet though!

Best be shipped tomorrow otherwise I'll be angry.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
