Buying GTAV in a low market priority country

Hey guys, What would you recommend we do? For example I live in Lithuania, never do we see games appearing on shelves day 1. With gta4 it got here a month later.

All you lucky ones that have the opportunity to get it even a day or two earlier, I envy you. If I preorder with amazon uk or de , will it arrive on day 1, or will it be shipped on the day of release (and be in transit for up to two weeks)?

Many of you will understand, waiting a week to play the game, knowing that most of the fans already got it is suicide. I even organized a "good-bye social life and friends" event 7 days prior to the release.

 

ideas?

Amazon usually sends the game a day before release, so they arrive the next day (as it's just one day shipping here), but I assume it will take a few more days to get it shipped to your country. I doubt there's a way that you can get the game on release then, most of the time it's pure luck though. There are some online stores that "might" send the games more than a day before release, but then again that's just luck too, and most of the time you pay a lot more at those stores. I remember buying LBP1 from a fishy online store and I got the game two weeks before release, it was quite awkward... confused.gif

But honestly, what's 1-2 days if you waited years for that game? smile.gif

 

Edit: You can also check if you can pick some sort of express shipping on Amazon, not sure if that works to your country. In that case it should arrive at least near the release, but most likely will cost tons of money extra.

You are part of the EU. Just order it from Amazon & you'll probably get it a few days after release day. What TV system do you use over there (PAL, NTSC etc)?

wait-for-it

Lithuania is in the EU, why dont you import it from Amazon.co.uk. I pre ordered it recently there. You dont even have to pay taxes.

How the hell your country is in the EU and you can't get new games on day 1, like any other countries in the EU? That's simply unjust. I'm sorry, but your government has to be flawed. mercie_blink.gif

Same here lol. But I order my games from the local importer, Gamestar. All the shops in this country get games from them.

I usually get them later on the release date.

It doesn't mean that if they are in the EU that they all get the same rights.

For example take a look at Romania, we've been in the EU since '07 and up to this date we don't have the same f*cking services world wide as ohter countries. For example, no PSN or Xbox Live.

 

Our government is sh*t, run by sh*t, and people don't do a sh*t, where the f*ck is 1989.

Well I don't know, you could buy it in Europe or US and choose worldwide shipping

I'm pretty sure every government is run by monkeys. But what do we know? We never worked there so it might be hard.

 

Just preorder from any online site and you will be fine.

I think it's more the fault of Publishers and Manufacturers not caring about the world outside of North America and Western Europe.

 

Xbox One is only available in these countries, So that's right, f*ck off Eastern Europe, Too bad Balkans, Not for you South and Central America, You're all too barbaric and poor for Microsoft's glorious metal box *Sarcasm here, I'm not trying to insult those people*

And here I am. Another lithuanian. But I will probably have to wait another half-year for a PC version . . .

If the PC version goes on Steam you probably won't have to wait at all.

Order it online dude, get the physical copy sent to your house, Amazon would probably be best for that. There might even be specific countries that retail to yours, but for the easiest option, like mentioned, use Amazon.

GTA V (and all other GTAs) are British though. LOOOL.

Yes but all the GTAs takes place in America because Rockstar knows we have the best cities.

I don't see a reason to say that one country is better than the others and please, don't try to tell me because I don't like people who exalt themselves.

... And Rockstar is parodying and laughing at America.

Typical mindset of a close-minded American. bored.gif

GTA isn't made just by North anymore, NYC, Toronto, and the other studios chip in with a lot of work now.

It mainly is made by Toronto, as they're the only devs that are doing more than 95% of it.

Rest of the studios are tossing in tidbits.
