jjcoolj91 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That is really dreadful, I hope you manage to get a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV somehow. You could try to going to a city around you and try preording there, Im sure you could get a copy from a place around you Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/327879-disaster/?do=findComment&comment=1057836212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcreeper Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well guess what, it turns out that every game shop near me has taken too many preorders. That means that I wont be getting Gta untill the week after release because I stupidly assumed it would not sell out completly. So basically I just wanted to let all you people who havent pre ordered like me that there is a very real posibillity you WONT be getting Gta on release. Well, lesson learned for me. lol lol lol lol lol lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/327879-disaster/?do=findComment&comment=1057836475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambone2007 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I preordered from Amazon. They say I'm getting it on 5/1/08. My initial plan was to walk in my local Circuit City/Best Buy the morning of the 29th and pick it up. However, they've been taking pre-orders like mad when they never use to do that. It was always first come, first serve before. Ic ould still probably show up and get a copy but I don't want to take the chance.

freshlaundryX Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Try crappy stores that no one would think of going to -- like K-Mart or Walmart -- or whatever equivalent you have over there.

Fnorg Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Warez... Then you buy. That's what I'd do, assuming my console is flashed or whatcha call it. Download it, then buy it, I sure as hell wouldn't wanna wait.

DamienMc666 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 If you live in the uk, go to argos because if you go to the site you cant preorder GTA IV and you cant do it in store. i preordered San Andreas from game, qued up for about 30 minsand then found out that they ran outof copies so i went to argos and they had like 50 copies left and better yet the store was almost empty.

Mr.Mister Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm glad I got my pre-order in on December 27th I'm sure you might find a extra copy of GTAIV somewhere, I highly suggest you go at midnight and look for a copy before they run out the next day for a couple of days.

BrokerZoo Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I reserved mine at Gamestop back in October. I just went in this weekend and switched my reservation to the special edition with no problem. I'm planning on getting there at around 9:30 pm on Monday to get it at midnight. Then I'll probably walk to my favorite bar for last call (they close at 1am) and get a drink to calm the nerves, Then hop in a cab and head home to play. I took Tuesday off from work, so I'll be in my pj's with a bottomless cup of coffee and my xbox controller. I've been planning this out for weeks. OP: The pre-order online with overnight shipping sounds like the best plan. I would suggest amazon. They guarantee it to be there on the release date and if it's not they'll refund the shipping.

getoverhere Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 i'm almost certain that shops aren't going to sell all their copies in pre-orders. they are alway going to have some to sell over the counter provided you get their early enough. at worst i expect to have to try a few places. i never even had that problem with halo3 and proevo2008 and they both sold like hotcakes. i was asked if i'd preordered, 'No', so they just pulled one up. i'll feel like a complete arse if i'm wrong but i just can't see everywhere in town being sold out between 9 and 11am on release day, even those who may open at midnight. i'm going to sleep all day monday, stay up all night and make sure i'm one of the first mofo's in the whole city to buy it come tuesday morning.
