woot ordered my copy at a local game store. can pick it up after im done with work! woohoo

[Richard Hammond]

So more enjoyable than GTA4?

I love sandbox games where you can explore a living breathing world, Oblivion was amazing for that.

Haven't seen anything about it being cheap at supermarkets. Is the Tesco Entertainment deal the cheapest?

Mos def.

Man that sucks, and how stupid for UKMail to loose it.

I am sure if you go to town you will get it, well the earlier the better I suppose.

[Mr_Edwardo]

Eeuuuuurggh I'm absolutely busting a gut to play this right now.. I don't have a copy, but I could just walk 10 mins down to my local retailer.

However, I have an AI final year exam at 2pm, so last minute revision is taking priority! :(

[Pablo2008jedi]

I'm just hoping and praying my copy is delivered today .......

[DJD]

Still waiting for mine to arrive also, gonna totally freak out if it isn't here within the next 20 minutes :pinch:

[acnpt]

Neither of my copies from Amazon or Zavvi arrived.:(, so just reserved a copy at Argos for £34.99

Sadly my copy didn't arrive, postie has just been and he didn't have it with him :( ShopTo were only allowed to send them out yesterday due to an agreement with Rockstar apparently not to break street date :(

This always happens with me :(

But does that not mean you'll get 3 quid back, since you didn't get by release day?

Same thing happened to me :cry:

[Drunk Ninja]

mine arrived today at 10 :D Haven't started playing it yet though, going to start it later tonight

Argos seems to be the cheapest at ?34.99 for xbox 360 and you can reserve a copy too.

However PS3 seems to be out of stock in most places.

Just started playing the game, had a hell of a time getting my hands on a copy. I rented it from Gamefly, it was shipped on Monday, but somehow it is still not here (Split Second was also shipped on Monday, I had it by Wednesday), so I was going to go buy a copy from Gamespot using my remaining credit I had there plus some cash, but a friend came through and let me borrow their extra copy.

Have to say I only played maybe 2 hours, but I do think this indeed may be better than any GTA, and for the record I LOVED GTA. Visuals are outstanding, especially when considering the scale of things and I hardly see any loading times. It is just SO easy to get lost in the world with everything you can do.

I need a bit more time with it before declaring it a GTA defeater, but so far it is well on it's way.

Considering how people have been debating that the xbox version is better, and there is a high amount of xbox users, I would have thought the xbox version would have sold out first :blink:

I got told of by the postie for only just getting up to answer the door, he was asking if he had woke me up :pinch: It was ten o'clock in the morning though! and I had been out to town last night :whistle:

Yeah I believe so currently

£40 less 15% making it £34 plus another 8% cashback if you use quidco too bringing it to £31.28 plus 78 CC points if you collect them which is another £3.12 when used on deals. So after all discounts it's only £28.15 :p Just depends if you can be bothered waiting for delivery.

Out of interest Larry you playing this on 360 or PS3?

[w33zy]

Issues with MP and invisible models due to things not rendering. I had a cut scene where a hovering stick of TNT placed it's self upon a door. :p

Ahhh yes, Ive only experienced that once, the safe house in the town at the start you buy for $50, went inside one time and the bar was empty.

So far however that seems to be the only bug I have seen. It is pretty much a spotless game so far, however I'm still pretty early into it.

Id be only 1 and a bit hours into the story missions and I would already say its better.

The scope of the game is simply astonishing and the scripting seems alot more evolving. Simply, R* have done it again, and that is blown me away with another AAA title.

[ramsy66]

went into town and literally every single shop had sold out of PS3 versions!

gunna have to try again tomorrow. i have never had such a problem buying a game before. :wacko:

[Massiveterra]

Last night I played for 2 hours but only played 2 missions because I was too distracted with playing Poker, slashing my fingers in 5 Finger Filet, throwing Horseshoes, starting fights in pubs, and skinning deer.

I want to hate this game. :p

[Waylander]

where do you get the lasso?

also the horse breaking task (listed in one of the costume descriptions) i went to the ranch but couldnt find how to start it, any idea what i am missing?

360 vs ps3 debate seems a bit pointless the eventual pc release will look much better than both of them and support eyefinity like gta4 does, i only got the ps3 version because i cant be bothered waiting for it, its kinda sucky playing on a single screen now im used to 3x1 23" screens

these happen in the 3rd or 4th Bonnie missions
