fernandocerejo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've pre-ordered GTAIV on play.com. I got an email saying: "We are currently sold out on this item. All orders will be dispatched on a first come first served basis." So does that mean even thou i've pre-ordered my copy. I wont be getting it on the release date which is the 29th? I really hope that's not the case. If it is, I would much rather you lied to me & said "Oh no! Ofcourse you will get your copy on the release date" Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/330127-can-someone-please-officialy-cleaar-this-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was after April 7th, you may have problems - before that and you should be ok Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/330127-can-someone-please-officialy-cleaar-this-up/#findComment-1057880682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpoel Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 i think it means that they didn't get in enough stock to fulfill all the orders, and so because other people pre-ordered before you, you have to wait. thats why i bailed out on online ordering, i asked them and they warned me that might happen.

Elsparko Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I don't know how it works for you guys, but the local Gamestop where I pre-ordered mine basically guarantees your copy if you put down a deposit. They'll stop taking deposits if and when they know they can't fill the orders. I wouldn't worry too much. They know the demand for this game is pretty high, so I doubt their not pressing enough copies to at least take care of pre-orders.

blag man Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 you have not payed a deposit, your money does not leave you account till the order is processed, so if you want to get it on release day i suggest you cancel your order and try every shop in your city Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/330127-can-someone-please-officialy-cleaar-this-up/#findComment-1057880731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burtha Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 most stores have an allication of both pre orders and release day copies. call around, see if any stores open @ midnight, or earlist and head down there!

Plumsaround Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I pre-ordered mine on the 1st July 2007 Lol (I wanted to make sure I got it on time), I used the 0845 number on the bottom of the website and asked if I was to get it on time and they confirmed that I will. I don't know how much of a back-log there is though.

Guest Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I would assume if you ordered before their stock of the title was low, you should be on that list to get your game sent out.

I went and talked to the people at Gamestop over the weekend and asked if I reserved a copy then but didn't go to the midnight opening, if my copy would still be available the next morning. He said it would be, so I plan to wait until the huge crowds go away and just walk in and get mine. According to several people on here, they'll actually honor the reserve, so it seems like preordering is the way to go.
