DirtyLarry Veteran Posted April 28, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2008 You have to understand, I get back from Seattle, not following this thread AT ALL, and see that discussion never stopped about it. SO what I am supposed to assume??? Obviously people are beginning to get it today, etc., so the discussion can begin, but I got back and saw otherwise. And I am sorry, if there had been a major news site carrying it had been released early to the public, I would think differently, but I really do not see any from my quick search. If there are, then point me to them. And no one is getting a week restriction unless you were one of the original people who got the thread closed and cleaned to begin with, and openly kept talking about the game after that, than yes, we all know without a doubt you have a pirated version, so once I have time to go through the 30 odd pages, we will see.

rage710 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I've been following this thread for the past few days and only one word comes to mind. Wow! I mean seriously. This game looks amazing, to say the least. I feel like an absolute idiot for not pre-ordering it. I just pray when I go to gamestop tomorrow (afternoon) there will still be a copy. With that said, what are the odds they will still have a copy? (w/o me pre-order) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/34/#findComment-589361844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) High, 2k probably pressed several million copies and each store should have a lot. Even if gamestop runs out you can expect stores like walmart to have it in stock.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 28, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 28, 2008 GTA IV: How to Survive a Six-Star Wanted LevelIf you've bought or plan to buy the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV, you'll likely be planning on getting all of the achievements. One of them gives you 40G for surviving a six-star wanted level for five whole minutes. But you can get this way before you start shooting police choppers out of the sky with a rocket launcher. In fact, with Games Radar's method, this can be one of your first success stories.

Brad. Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 :o u stole my name......I think i might try my luck and get a copy at Tesco's 2nite at midnight...hmmm.... I managed to reserve two copies at my local Tesco, we're also going and collecting a third tomorrow morning before Sixth form. However, when we asked how much stock they had, they said 25 copies for PS3 and 30 for Xbox 360, it sure is a restricted amount :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/34/#findComment-589361933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightz Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 so i wasn't planning to play GTA 4 at all, as i've never really gotten into any of the GTA games. however after seeing all the reviews and impressions, i decided to at least give the game a shot. so i put the game in my gamefly gameq, and it's now on the way to my house. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/34/#findComment-589361967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted April 28, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Just in case anyone is interested, I tracked down the backing track for the UK TV advert and I presume the rest of the world. The track is called Get Innocuous by LCD Soundsystem, you can listen to the track HERE! [edit] Hmm following the link says the track is not available, yet typing it in direct plays it, wonder why?
