Hmmm I checked my account on Play.com and it said they posted this game to me on the 23/04/08, lol. Would be awesome if I woke up tomorrow and the postman delivered it.

 

[PaulyPac]

Yeah, that would be sweet

Mines has 28th as dispatch date

 

[2Pax]

Where did you pre-order, Amazon?

 

[PaulyPac]

I did order it from Movietyme first, I order all my Blue-ray and DVD from there because they send it soon as stock arrives and they are cheap. GTA 4 was £32 on there. I emailed them a few weeks ago and they told me they had been told not to sell it early, they sell every other game earlier.... I did have an order on Amazon but I cancelled it.

I ordered it from Ebuyer.com

I order all my other shit from there, their service is great and you can get next day delivery, I ordered plenty of stuff from there now.

 

[Dogmatic187]

^ Yessir

I got Metal Gear Online to play till then, it starts today

 

[PaulyPac]

Whoa I think I'm getting my copy tomorrow. I have mine set for a next day delivery premium and the tracker status has pick up in progress listed! So that means it should be dispatched today and I'll receive tomorrow morning hopefully. City Link deliver their packages so they have next day delivery.

 

[2Pax]

Im sleeping at your house.

 

[PaulyPac]

That fucker hasn't budged from pick in progress lol Usually it changes within a few mins to loaded onto van then they give you a tracking number.

 

[PaulyPac]

I spoke too soon lol I got a tracking number now, it's been invoiced

[PaulyPac]

On route to delivery branch Scheduled Delivery 28/04/08

WTF man, why can't they just deliver it tomorrow I paid the extra £5 for next day. Oh well

*Stops travelling to Birmingham and goes back home muttering something about fake sell outs*

 

[PaulyPac]

They must have been informed to deliver on that date, because once it leaves Ebuyer, the courier takes over. It's at the delivery branch now. I might ring them in the morning

 

[Illuminattile]

My copy is "Ready to ship". I'm not expecting to get it early, but at least I know they've got their stock in.

 

[PaulyPac]

More than 200 songs in GTA 4

Crime pays for music biz with new Grand Theft Auto - Yahoo! News

 

[PaulyPac]

I just phoned City Link couriers now and it's at the delivery branch in Saltley grrrrr I have to wait till Monday. There's a City Link branch like 15 mins away from me, I was hoping it would be there so I could go and collect it now. Oh well....

GTA IV Gets Perfect Score from IGN.com

IGN: Grand Theft Auto IV Review

For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in.

While GTA IV is pushing the PS3 and 360 to the limit, it also runs amazingly well. Sure, there are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected.

The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud.

You play as Niko Bellic, an Eastern European attempting to escape his past and the horrors of the Bosnian war. He arrives in Liberty City to experience the American dream, only to discover his cousin, Roman, may have fibbed a bit in his tales of success.

LOL nice. He's a war criminal, like Mladic and Karadzic. We'll say Niko is short for Nikola.
