i will be getting mine from amazon if they launch it on ps2 or psp.

What's with the oversized ugly yellow font?

And no, GTA IV will be exclusive to the PS3 and Xbox 360, since it's a next-gen game. Neither the PS2 or PSP have enough power to even run the game let alone render the graphics it will need to on the new RAGE engine.

 

As for me, once an official release date is announced, I'll probably pre-order it to save disappointment if I head into GAME and find it's out of stock. I'd want it on the day, not a week later or something.

the graphics won't be that good, for instance you can't undo the bonet to see the engine, get in the back of any vehicle {sedan, truck}, proper brake light places {like in sa} and proper reverse lights and indocators. no window-wipers either? so a game magazine says, you can open the boot and put stuff in, but thats about it. and you cool this good graphics? probably no big airliner planes, just mini biplanes. no new helicopters like sa either? sure, the actual building and vehicle graphics will be great, but no realistic features.

Best thing to do is to pre-order it because theres no way you are going to be able to get it at the stores when it first comes out.

Not true, it's not as popular as halo was in my town

Only some of my friends want it and others were like "WTF are you talking about there was a GTA4 already" (vice city. yeah some kids are dumb)

 

im going to reserve it at gamestop so i can get it without a problem

 

preordering it on amazon is a pain in the ass in ways. I didn't get halo 3 for a week after it came out and my friend ordered it later from amazon and got it 3 - 4 days earlier

 

and if you want it delivered the 1st day than you have to pay more money

Just one question, is the Special Edition actually more expensive than the actual edition? I can't find the price anywhere online.

The Special Edition should be around the $150 mark in our monies, expensive yeah but worth it imo.

 

I am either going to order from DVDCrave who are an Australian online store who often import region free games for very cheap prices. So if GTAIV turns out to be region free I'll be checking with this store and if they have a US or UK copy I'll get it and hopefully before it officially reaches our shores. It may get censored or even worse refused classification so its a good fallback. I'll probably for shipping's sack order just the standard edition if that's the case and later buy the Special edition locally.

most likely best buy cos i got gift coupons from them.

Same, I'll get reward points and I'll buy it with gift cards from Giant Eagle so I get gas discounts. God I'm cheap...

 

 

 

As for the people saying they'll steal it or pirate it, get the hell out of here, this is a Rockstar fan zone, and Rockstar fans don't steal money from the company they support.

Same here. I have two $25 gift certificates to Best Buy, as well as $90 saved up.

Pre-ordered the Special Edition from GameStop. I'll probably be the first motherf*cker there when it opens.

I have the Playstation 3 (Special Edition) pre-ordered online with Amazon.co.uk.

 

I think now is the best time to pre-order the Special Edition because once Rockstar* announce the official release date people will be pre-ordering the game in droves, the Special Editions will inevitably sell out soon enough. I mean if the Halo 3 Limited Edition's sold out then the Grand Theft Auto IV ones definitely will.

eb games, or maybe i could cut a deal with eb games? a get a ps3 and gta iv in a bunndle and save $50 or something

Don't double post

edit the second box instead of leaving the same message

 

anyway i would never order from amazon. If you want the no tax and free shipping you'll have to wait a week to get it and i'm not the person who likes to wait so i'm preordering it at EB

Target. I work there. 10% off. W0000!

You'll probably sneak one behind the counter and put it in your bag, go to your boss and say you feel sick, you go home and play GTA4 for the next 8 hours
