When will it be too late to pre-order IV?

I havn't pre-ordered it yet.

 

We still have 3 months left, and i've got other things i need to focus on; driving lessons, valentines day coming up soon, stuff like that...

 

I can't really spare £40 right now, so I'm wondering... When will be the absolute latest to pre-order IV?

 

In other words, if i pre-order it on the, say, 20th of April, will I still get it day one or is that cutting it too fine?

 

Have you guys already pre-ordered? If not when are you going to?

 

thanks.

Was this topic necessary no offense.

 

Yes I have pre-ordered I have for a while now, but Grand Theft Auto IV will unlikely sell out everywhere from day one despite how popular it will be. The Special Editions though could be sold out and hard to find for awhile If you do not pre-order it. I may be wrong there but that is what I think will be the case.

 

With the regular edition of the game I would not worry about it you WILL find a copy somewhere on the release day I guarantee it.

When you pre-order they don't debit your account until the order is dispatched.

Well i'm only 16 so i have to give my parents the cash.

 

I spose i could just tell them i'll pay 'em when it gets debited.

 

Hey thanks, never thought of that.

Yea, I haven't pre-ordered it yet either but I definitley will. Probably today or the next upcoming days. Don't wanna wait to take a chance and I wanna be able to play it on the first day it comes out.

Depending on where you live it will probably be the day before its released. Unless all the copies are accounted for.

Just out of curiosity...

 

@ the hardcore gamers: If you were to pre-order a game the day before it came out (so, 28th of April for example), would you still get it day one?

To be honest, i probably wont even pre order the game, im just gonna turn up at midnight and pick it up, if there is a midnight release. i did this for halo 3, didnt need to pre-order, only to sell halo 3, 2 weeks later as it was a crock of sh*t!!!

Hard to say I doubt it because you are leaving it at the last minute. If you pre-order online you will not have to worry about having to que up and to wait and see if you will get a copy.

 

You could always ask your parents to pre-order it I used to sometimes when I was younger. I am 23 now so I use my own credit card. biggrin.gif

Most websites claim that they will dispatch within 24 hours, so ordering the day before is risky if you want it day one.

i have a question, but i don't wanna make a new topic so i'll just post it here:

 

if i pre-order now, at release will i have to pay the price it was then, or the price it is on release?

don't think anyone can tell... i preordered before Ps3 release in europe so i think i'll get it smile.gif but for you it depends on how many the shop orders and how many they will ship

Price on release, however it is unlikely to change.

 

EDIT: Quote from Amazon:

"Pre-order Price Guarantee: order now and if the Amazon.co.uk price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll be charged the lowest price."

well i'm guessing that the price now will be the same as when it's released...

 

but i don't know for sure.

Seriously crazy sorry 2 bust your positivity bubble dude,but i think you need 2 pre-order asap or youll be an unhappy gamer come the 29th of april.I cant specifically speak for every store but the gamestop(where i pre-ordered) around my area back in september had over 1200 preorder's already.

 

So thats basically damn close 2 half of the population around here!I looked @ the receipt,saw that number an decided 2 ask the dude if he thought i would be on the first shipment.His reply------youll be on the 2nd shipment.An that was back in september after the delay,now that alot of info has been released lately i cant even imagine how many people have pre-ordered.

 

My best advice for you seriouslycrazy is 2 go pre-order 2day.Im not sure about where your at but pre-order only takes 5 dollars,but i warn you the less you spend the later shipment youll be on(atleast thats how it is here)if you got the cash i say go get your copy reserved now man!!!!before its 2 late(if it isnt already) icon14.gif
