SkapeGote Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Sup, I was trying to decide which store I would go to get my copy of GTA 4. In Canada we have both Futureshop and Best Buy. While hanging on both sites, which are owned by the same company, I noticed that it says the release date is December 4. I decided to check at EBGames.ca, and they are saying it is the 3rd of December. Can anyway verify this, I would hate to go to the Mall for no reason Peace Skape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vachon644 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just buy it on Steam... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkapeGote Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Steam has never worked right for me, so that is just not an option. Skape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahitman101 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Unless you want the box and map that GTA comes with, buy from steam. Under no conditions should steam be a burden to it's users, unless you have under 200kb/s download speed. Cheaper than retail, (eg., Fallout 3, 59.99 + tax retail; Steam is $61 converted from US currency no tax included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesushumper Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yep, my local stores say Dec 04. THen again, I"m on an island, so some shipments take an extra day or two sometimes. i WAS thinking of getting is from Steam, but it's not teh same price as a retial box version, so i may as well still get that.

SkapeGote Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 No, it looks like it is $49.95. The Eb Games near is selling it for $44.99 if you pre-order. Skape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereisnospoon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 im looking at the best buy site and it says december 3rd is the release date. do you think they will be shipping those out before that, like on the2nd? i am in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesguru Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It says North America release is December 2nd so it will release on the 2nd in United States and Canada You mean the 3rd. That's what Global Release date is. The only place I've known it to be delayed in, is India. The only reason I would think it would be delayed, is due to the location (I.E, it takes longer to get delivered there to the retailers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why does wallmart ships the 2nd of december? And why does Rockstar states 2nd on their website everywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesguru Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Maybe because R* said that those dates were wrong. I don't know, I ponder. The Social Club still says the 2nd, but R* gave a statement saying it would in fact come out on the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APIOQM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Any idea when I can get it up here in Ottawa? I hope its not Dec 4th. So this remains the 3rd? And that's at any retailer pretty much... (EB, Futureshop, Wal-mart) Does anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbits93 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I looked at futureshops and bestbuys dates, they say it should arrive at their stores on the 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJabMan Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Chances are it's a case of the usual having to repack everything into french and english labels. Most our games get delayed at least a day... though you would think that since Rockstar Toronto is handling this game, that they would get them out on time... especially when the DVD's are probably being pressed in Scarborough or something.

Man that's lame, why does Canada always get later release dates, and also, when I got TDU for the PC it was missing sh*t that was supposed to be in the box, and when I pre-ordered UT3 I didn't get my pre-order content. Like if I have to wait till the 4th and don't get like the map and cardboard outer box etc, I will be so pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkapeGote Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah I live in London Ontario, and the store are saying the 4th. Anyone else in the area have the game yet? Skape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJabMan Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Seems random, when I went to get FarCry2 EBgames didn't have it yet, nor Best-Buy, but Futureshop did for some reason. Then EB gets it 2 days later... they're less then a 10 minute drive apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
