OK now I am pissed off.

The branch I pre-ordered mine at is the only one in the city that isn't opening at midnight.

They also have a notice saying the pre-order is non-transferable to other branches and I know it's too late to pre-order at a different one now. I feel so owned it's unreal.

There is a video on YT of someone opening their copy from a retailer who sent it out early. It's believable until you see he opens the game and it doesn't have a factory seal on it.

EPIC FAIL!

How do you know it's too late? It's worth a try to go somewhere else.

pre-order at amazon.... my room mate pre-ordered halo 3 from them and got it on release day

Well I can go to the other branches of the same shop in the city centre but I know that preorders for the game ended last week or early this week.

I don't want to buy online because I will miss out on a lot discounts that I will be getting if I buy in-store. That's the only reason I haven't got it from Amazon. I ordered GTA:VC on Amazon and got it on release day instead of 3 days late as per my postage choice.

Doesn't matter if I do get it at midnight, I wont be able to play it then anyway. I'm just worried about not being able to get it at all on Tuesday.

I work at the local video store here in town and I just pre-ordered my copy the other day. I thought that since I worked there she might give a little discount or something, but of course not

. It's all good though, only paid 63 and change where if I went to Best Buy or something it would have cost me around $85-$90.

I was looking at the GTA 4 site this morning and it looks and sounds like it's going to be a cool game, today is the only reading I have done on it. The multi player also sounds like it's going to be awesome!

Hopefully I can play this game for more than a month and not get bored with it, like all the other GTA i have boughten in the past.

Im not pre ordering only because I have exams the week after it comes out and I would fail them all, or not even go because of this game. The ign review made it look sick nasty.

I've played through them all ( even twice ) except for San Andreas. SA got to be a little repetative for me, never finished it. Then I found SOCOM

I know I'll be playig through this whole game

Usually I play through the story until it gets to a set of racing, boat, or RC missions and then just play it "free roam" causing hell.

I think it was the IGN review that said most people will play the story before exploring the city, maybe even play it twice. GTA games have good stories usually, but not good enough for me to play twice. Maybe things will be different.

(First trailer anyone?)
