Be Excellent To Each Other

Don't you mean ??

I wasn't that excited. Then I was. Now I find myself doing things like waking up this morning and thinking "ooooh, six days 'till GTA", which has never happened for me with any game, ever.

For all that, though, I genuinely don't know what to expect from it. I'm still a bit concerned that it might tilt too far in pursuit of "realism" over fun. I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of planes given that the Harrier and jet-pack from San Andreas were amoung the most fun things in a GTA game ever. And I'm a bit worried that in terms of pure gameplay-based joy it won't stand up to Crackdown. So, you know. It likely won't match the hype, but I've got a fair amount of faith in Rockstar's ability to build a world that I'll enjoy fucking about in. That'll do for me.

Meanwhile I've only just realised it's imminent. I tend to order stuff I know I'll play and forget about it.

This is why I still have a launch day shrinkwrapped Halo 3...

Me too.
This is why I have two copies of quite a few games...

You must have money to burn.

Obv.

And he's a dirty breeder and has his own house

Therefore:

Zardoz = Grim... - (money + double games + beard)

FTFY

FTFY

Indeed, although I've avoided that. Play gives order dates, my GTA one is over two years ago

Final Ammendments

Play Burnout with me and you'll find out that's at least one of those is not true...

You've had a shave?

Yeah, makes his cock look a bit bigger.

So, how about that GTA, eh?

Lots of cars, and things.

anywhere still accepting launch day order delivery type thingies?

Gamestation have some special editions still available for launch day.

I had a email off shopto who ive got a pre-order with who said they had enough stock for the pre-orders for release date so it may be worth giving them a ring because im guessing they've already got them in stock, the email also dissapointly said that they wouldnt be sending them off til monday, booo.

Did Myp also say that choices were still taking orders? I can't recall exactly.

apparently the pal version has been leaked on torrent sites, just read on kotaku, the image on kotaku is by the group that done it and says to hide ya games list on xbox live and dont go on the internet with it till next week. Which I didnt understand because I thought modified 360's were banned from Live.

They were when I made mine over a week ago. I'm too lazy to check to see if they still are.

Same here, but not too lazy to respond to your post. Go figure.

They are if MS spot them.

I can't think of a better way to spot them than being online with an unreleased game

It's a tad unfair if they take action against folks simply because the game appears in their list before the release date: they might have bought it fair and square. (Did they do anything when Mass Effect and Halo 3 were released? I can't recall.)

Also reviewer types who are playing Ninja Gaiden 2 as we speak. *glares over at a certain member*

not paying £65 for a copy so I guess ill wait...or go to 24 hr tesco ..see if they have a copy

maybe if I knew what was on the sountrack.

if flash fm is back, im all over it. love the 80s stuff.
should try and get Vice City at some point just to cruise along to all that good 80s pop.

I might go for it if I trusted Zavvi to get it to me on release day.

I think I'm just intrigued as to what they'll have crowbarred into this one, since I've not read anything about it. I read tonnes of coverage about Vice City and San Andreas whilst they were in development, but this one should (hopefully) be a genuine surprise for me in places.

I;ve already pre-ordered from my local Zavvi as, having booked the day off work now, I didn't want to risk any postal fuck ups and Zavvi was the only place still taking pre-orders when I tried. Now I'm just hoping they've had all their Special Editions ordered up too, so I don't have to face the temptation to buy what is ultimately a huge waste of money. 'Cos I will. I'm stupid like that.

They suck mightily.

*smugs*

Pah sir



Shame I won't be able to pick it up until I get back to the UK...come on next Thursday, hurry up will ya

Sod knows when ChoicesUK will deliver mine.

Not this.

As you can get 5% off at Play if you use voucher code experience08.

So you're only looking at £310

Dale?

Yes?

Just got the same mail as Dimmers. Uncharacteristic excellentitude from HMV, there.

Pffft. Laaame.

I'm sure that HMV are only doing it to ensure people can't say that theirs wasn't delivered and to send another one while they flog the first one on eBay for Massive Sponds.

Can't whack a bit of enlightened self-interest.

I was in the arndale yesterday and Zavvi sign on the door says they will be getting extra in store stock for release day, so I might just mozy on down there instead of missing the postman, them taking another 2 days grave to actually go back the sorting office, write me a card, then deliver it, telling me I can get it, then me going to get it.

Lubberly. Hope I get back on Thursday before the effing sorting office closes.

*GLOAMS!*

They appear to have "lost your details" Dimrill!

Someone's not getting a game tomorrow...

NO!!!!!!

That looks like a good message..?

Is the official release date 25th then? I thought it was 29th for some reason...

It's Tuesday.

No, it's Thursday.
