MysteryGamer Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 There seem to be a lot of these topics recently. I think some are perhaps getting the wrong end of the stick I think Toys R Us and other leading retailers are probably getting stock of the game in this Friday but not actually selling it on that day.

Master TJ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Some f*cking store is going to sell its ass early, whether you like it or not. Its a big country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blag man Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 maybe its all a coincidense, or maybe sotres are going to sell it on friday, and all the cyber warriors who have been giving people stick for having the commen decency to inform other gamers that they can get it early will eat their words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniqueGTA Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Bioshock was also sold earlier in a Toys 'R Us store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well so what? There could be a few with the game this weekend. The big stores can get away with this because nobody is going to tell them otherwise the amount of games they order. However I still doubt it will happen, we will see.

DrAKeN3D Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 In your dreams man. Not at ToysRUs... maybe in a small game shop, but not somethign that big. It's going to be clearly written on the boxes to NOT SALE BEFORE April 29th. I dont think ToysRUs want a lawsuit on their ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowdig Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 draken3d, toys'R'us has been known to release highly anticipated games early (bioshock and mass effect just to name two). they are idiots, so dont say they wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzknuckles Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 A kid's toy shop shouldn't really stock mature games, but what do I know? Signatures are dumb anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trund Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 A kid's toy shop shouldn't really stock mature games, but what do I know? Maybe they confused it with Mario Kart Wii? I can imagine stores selling the game on the 28th, but 25th sounds a little TOO early to me, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlitement Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 What the hell is going on? Toys R Us? Waht the f*ck? Are you.. serious? A childrens' store selling a game where you can dismember people and bang hookers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsparko Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 As for America, I doubt that TrU will sell the game early. It's not a lawsuit they risk as much as T2 dropping them from distribution. IV is going to sell pretty well for quite a while, so I assure you that TrU doesn't want the first week's shipment to be their only one. Now, there may be some renegade store manager that simply figures it won't matter, but he'd be in some mega-trouble with corporate if they found out about it.

Emm Ell Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Wasn't the Mass Effect break from a Toys'R'Us store? Could be mistaken though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Eddie- Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well then, those of you with the game can upload pictures and videos for us on Saturday. Just to prove us wrong 'eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjo7 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Erm interesting. I just gave them a call and its not good news by the sound of it. I quote the man. "Erm i think its out this week ill go and check" ME "OMFGZ !!!" "Hi we have not got any in yet which is weird but we think its friday were not sure though" So basically it sounds like becuase all games come out on Friday's they assume its then. Again i phoned back to a different person and they said they do not have any in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Logan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yes. I believe some stores will release IV THIS FRIDAY because thats when games come out here in the UK and IV wont be any different to them I will be checking Toys R US and Tesco and other stores this Friday!!!

xxstalker24xx Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 As i have said in another thread, some large retailers have the opportunity to sell GTA early if they are willing to or have payed Rockstar / T2 a bomb load of cash. This has happend with a number of games and mainly the WoW expansion of which was sold rly early by ASDA as they payed Blizzard. Also this has an advantage for the retailer of which will have more customers then if they didn't and R*/T2 may get alot more money then if they got the money from the games sold only.

Astr00 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I just got off the phone with Toys'R'Us in Oslo and first of all ... they don't sell Xbox 360 games, and when I asked about the PS3 version instead, nothing showed up when he searched for GTA IV. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
