Cib Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi all, thanks for reading, yesterday I decided I wanted to get this game for PC, finally So I put my shoes on and took the bus to Oxford Street, London When I got there I walked around for a good 2 hours only to walk into every single (big and small) game shop to find that this game is being sold for every console BUT the PC these days. I was hoping that some of you might be familiar with a shop/store in (central) London that definitely sells this game for PC buying online or downloading unfortunately are due to circumstances big no-noes cheers Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbatron Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 You might want to try the nearest Asda to where you live. I was in the one by Crossharbour DLR station near Canary Wharf last weekend and it was in the No 1 slot at half price. That's a bit out of the way of the city centre (45min by tube), but the deal is also advertised online, so I'd imagine it is in all stores nationwide. http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/elysiu...vcm1zXC9wYyE%3D Store locator is here: http://www.asda.co.uk/corp/home.html Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059631985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Is ordering it from game.co.uk out of the question? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059632371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cib Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 I can't pay any other way than using PayPal E-cheques, cause my card always gets rejected for instant payments, so I'm afraid Ican't order anything off the web. Thanks for the ASDA thing, I'll check it out straight away. cheers!

GTAdedan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've been in London like a month or 2 ago and I remember I saw the PC version in a big electronica shop, might have been the free record shop, not sure though. But it was in Oxford street. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059633897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermortalhuman Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 hey, you know, if you don't want to trust me, maybe an Administrator or Moderator here would be willing to do this, and I'm suggesting it because I truly believe the Steam version is the best version to have (don't worry about re-downloading all the time if you have plenty of space, just keep a local copy and restore it that way in future if bandwidth becomes an issue). I very much like the steam version. Anyway, I would, or maybe a moderator or something here would, allow you to paypal me or them and then I would gift you GTA IV on steam because you can e-check us and when it clears we can gift you IV. I don't know if there are any rules about this kind of stuff, and I certainly wouldn't, and have no reason to, beat you over the head. I like the download version way more than the retail because this game is not like SA< you can't just pop in a No-CD and put your DVD away unless you get an official loader from securom (steam version comes with it). As long as it CAN be gifted from USA to London, I would certainly gift it through my paypal which is not limited to e-check if you supply your scratch Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059633995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zobimanguydo Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 super, thats like risky business for that guy and for you, maybe you don't want to tread on that territory Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059634374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cib Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 @ supermortalhuman: I would have to say no to that, and it's got nothing to do with trust. Thanks for the kind offer though The search still goes on, I must say I've never had this much trouble finding... well.. anything popular/well known. Ebay is giving me some reasonable search results, but all those involve at least 3 days of waiting. Seems like I have no choice though. Do you guys reckon they don't sell it anywhere because due to popularity they ran out of stock? or the complete opposite? I'm think nr. 2... get that impression cheers Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059635548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbatron Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Did you try Asda? It was still in the big store at Cross Harbour (E14) this morning at £15 (it's my nearest grocery store so I pop in quite regularly). Maybe you'll get it cheaper on Ebay, but not quicker if you live in London. I bet a lot of stores had to take coppies back because people couldn't get it to run, and that would explain why they are reluctant to offer it. The patches helped a lot, but still, make sure you have at least the recommended requirements, not the minimum!

Cib Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 I might pay that particular ASDA a visit tomorrow morning. Might not be the closest one but at least they'll have it. It's not too far from where I live anyway. Thanks a lot, hope in the end it pays off. As for the system reqs, I'm not very familiar with all the technical stuff but I'm pretty sure my system is good enough to run this at an at least enjoyable speed/quality. cheers Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432490-need-help-finding-a-retailer/#findComment-1059635727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
