Sethos Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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.

Sethos Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/27/#findComment-589357747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyro Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 JTV cut my feed off .. think Rockstar is applying pressure can't you just make a new feed under a different name?

JMSASRA Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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!

Lingwo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 My brothers copies have been despatched from gameplay. So if my special edition doesn't turn up on tuesday... my brothers copy would suddenly not turn up and find its way into my 360 ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/27/#findComment-589357856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMSASRA Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited April 26, 2008 by JMSASRA Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/27/#findComment-589357866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jelli Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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.

JMSASRA Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 But still the game will be tricky to get hold of for a while. if he sells it say the day after release day, then people will be tripping over themselves to get their grubby mitts on it.

Sethos Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm dying to see how much it sells, really looking forward to the salesnumbers. But I'm glad i can sit back and relax, my copy has just been shipped today, so i could possibly have it by Monday if I'm lucky.

sundayx Veteran Posted April 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2008 One of the restrictions in sales would be that, the next gen consoles have not penetrated the market as much as San Andreas did. It does push console sales though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/27/#findComment-589358146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
