Psych Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Tesco sent out a shopping leaflet to it's customers saying that GTA IV released on April 25th. I think they've just got it wrong tbh, but feel free to try, someone might get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blag man Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 it was put on a tesco e-mail, and has since been amended, but when i questioned a store manager about it he said "im 95% sure that we will be selling it on friday morning, thats when our new games in stock get put on the shelf, and thats when it should be on sale, unless the heads ring us and tell us no, but i doubt that because there is sepperate media department which deals with this sort of thing, and they dont care" like i said, if you dont believe it fair enough, it doesent bother me if a bunch of cyber warriors call me a liar, im just letting fellow GTA mad heads in the UK to get the jump on everyone else.

I aint calling you a liar, dude. I just dont think it'll happen, that's all. I reckon they'll get it in on Friday, but hold it back until Monday/Tuesday.

Fuzzknuckles Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I get a lot of mail from Tesco giving me various offers and never got one about GTAIV - therefore, I put it to you, sir, that you are talking directly out of your rectum.

blag man Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 thats cool mate, i wasnt calling anyone directly a cyber warrior, but you know what some people are like on this board, like i said boys (and girls) im no bullsh*ter, theres obviously a chance it wont happen, and untill i went in yesterday and had a chat with "martin - store manager" myself, i thought it was bull, but i will be there on thursday evening waiting for my copy, and if i dont get it i will feel like a twonk, but if i do that gives me 2 solid days of gta over the weekend.

Fuzzknuckles Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Why can't you people just be patient and wait till release day? If you get it early, you won't be a part of the special day. And people will hate you for it, rather than give you some sort of pathetic 'respect' for it. Signatures are dumb anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll care if Rockstar is the heads ringing them. Seriously, I wouldn't even think of buying it before April 29th, let alone play it. Not after what MS was doing to those Halo 3 players.

Jonny12300 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 come on. you really think such a big retailer would release that early. its not like rockstar would just go oh damn. they would sue sue sue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindancer Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 come on. you really think such a big retailer would release that early. its not like rockstar would just go oh damn. they would sue sue sue! Then again, Tesco's are not short of money. What if they thought it would be better for them to release the game early and steal all the customers who have the game pre-ordered somewhere else. In regards to a fine, I am sure they make a more than enough money to cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blag man Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 like i said, im just trying to give people the option of getting it a few days early, if as the case seems, they will be able to, im not after any respect of any sort, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHughes1882 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Rockstar have most likely got a deal like the Harry Potter books had, break the release date and you arn't getting anymore in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people will hate you for it, rather than give you some sort of pathetic 'respect' for it. The special day !! Who wouldn't get this game early if they legitimately could ?? Its been 4 barren years in the desert people, time we got us the promised land.. Oh, and you're insane for cancelling your pre-order Brag Man !! Martin - store manager, doesn't know what he is talking about. It was a typo, and the 'high-ups' will make sure the release date is adhered too, you can bank on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
