I don't know if this would be considered spam or not as it's for a national supermarket chain.

 

I hope it's still that price when I get paid on Wednesday!

I illegally downloaded my copy of IV via a torrent, didn't seed the download, then cracked IV biggrin.gif

 

But in all seriousness, I went down to my local EB Games, grabbed IV from the PC shelf, walked over to the counter, and now I have GTA IV.

 

Was $99 AU then and there. Went in again a few days later and there it was for $69. f*ck whatsthat.gif

Pre-ordered mine from JB HI-FI (in Australia).

 

Was $AU79, instead of $AU99 from Game or EB. The only bad thing was that they were a day late for my pre-order! I was pissed when I didn't get it on Dec 3rd.

 

On Saturday I saw the RRP was $AU69, and I flinched... bored.gif

I am off to morrisons tomorrow, I will have a look and if they have a copy for that price I will pick one up biggrin.gif . Although I already have a retail copy I am a bit sick of shuttling the disc up and down the stairs between my two PC's. Now before you all turn this into crack talk, I am aware there are partially working cracks but I don't want anything to do with them.

 

As to this price discount although in the short term it is great news for people it doesn't bode well for the continuation of the series on the PC cryani.gif if the game is being that heavily discounted so soon after release it usually means it hasn't sold well. Now Rockstar is a business and if their games don't sell well on a particular platform then it is unrealistic to expect them to continue supporting that platform, NO MATTER what the reason for the low sales.

I do so hate to double post but this deserves to be bumped considering all the other crap around here. I popped into Morrisons today to do my usual shop of Pringles and Beer and thought I would have a gander at the computer games to see if blowyerbrainsUK was talking rubbish biggrin.gif .

 

I was very pleased to see he wasn't the game is indeed £9.99 at Morrisons and I couldn't help but buy myself a second copy for my PC upstairs, woohoo no more shuttling the dvd between my quad and duo. So if you haven't taken the plunge then get yourself down to your local Morrisons and pick up a copy.

 

Oh and blowyerbrainsUK I owe ya a beer, thanks for the heads up on this.

Probably just a loss leader kind of deal done by Morrisons, I was just prising the £9.99 sticker off now and underneath is the original price of £24.99. The girl that served me said it was a deal they just started this weekend.

 

I am other the moon that I got a second copy so cheaply, I was in the market for a second copy but was going to go via steam. However I am not immune to the fact this isn't a great sign for the overall health of GTA 4 on the PC cryani.gif . A title with the heritage of GTA 4 at less than a tenner just 1 month after release is good new short term but a depressingly bad indication of the fact there may not be any steam left for the franchise on the PC.

Weird the price is very very low, why?

Because its been on the shelf for a while and is starting to smell a bit funny?

 

I got two tins of beans for the price of one at Morrisons last week - I said to the checkout girl "OMG!! wtf!!!" and she called security mercie_blink.gif

Yet another example of PC gamers getting screwed over when they buy at release day, including myself, yet again...

When will i learn, to date I havent been able to play GTA IV in any kind of manner without constant crashes and low fps etc. Along comes a patch that fixes my problems and the next thing you see is a lower than half price deal in the stores, so yet again I have paid a fortune for something to sit on my shelf when I could have just waited and got it for this price, this kind of stuff makes my blood boil it really does. Next big release im reading the forums for a couple of weeks before I fly out and buy it straight off to see the level and severity of problems people are suffering from, at least I can save myself a few quid by waiting next time. I have to say, although I in no way beleive piracy is a good thing I am starting to understand why some people download warez before purchase, especially when theres no demo made available.

EB games had a 20 dollar off pre-order special on GTA4. Combined it with a 10% of promo voucher to score it for just over 70AUD one day before release ; )

Nooooooo untwist your panties this is JUST Morrisons, if you look everywhere else you will see that GTA 4 is still retailing at the same price it was when it was launched over a month ago. The fact that Morrisons have decided to do it as a loss leader is neither here nor there. I know I certainly wouldn't be prepared to wait nearly 2 months just to buy a game £15 cheaper, I mean come on here just how cheap are some people.

 

The Morrisons deal was especially good for me because I have spent hundreds of hours playing GTA 4 on both my PC'S and I was starting to get a bit annoyed with shuttling the dvd backwards and forwards. Now for extra tenner I have a copy for both PC's biggrin.gif Still playing it to death and I don't think the dvd's will see daylight any time soon.

Site no longer lists GTA at all and local Morrison's is too far away (6 miles) to visit on foot. Ah well looks like I wont be pulling a refund stunt sad.gif

I don't know what links you are looking at but I just checked both and GTA 4 is still there priced at £9.99
