Anyone Pre-Ordered GTA from Play.com?
 

Mine's been shipped this afternoon, so if you pre-ordered early, check your order status :D

Yeah, ordered from there, checked the status of my order several times today. Seen it change from preordered to order placed a few times. Its been stuck on preordered for the past few hours. Looks like I wont be playing it this coming Friday, the bastards. :(

From what I have read, Amazon, Play, Simplygames and Gameplay all sold out of their intial stock before the game was even in stock. The bastards, should have made that clear before I ordered.

When did you preorder? I preordered on the 26th June :)

Ordered it last Thursday. I figured I would wait to see if any of the online retailers offered some good deals. Looks like I will be playing it next Monday at the earliest now. :mad:

That's a b*tch :(

:( :(




Tyler! :p

Update....

Bastards. Just recieved that Email (and no, I didnt send them one pissing and moaning, asking if I would be getting the game this Friday). Like I said, they should have made that clear before I even placed the order, last week. I like how they blame Rockstar for not anticipating demand. Yeah ****ing right, based on the sales of GTA 3 and Vice City, I'm sure Rockstar knew how big this title was going to be. Ahhh well. On another note, I just preordered MGS3 at play.com. Its 6 months in advance, so hopefully I will get that game on release day :cool:

Damn Bounty,

You're just catching bad breaks left and right.

I've never heard of a publisher being the determining factor in how many units of a product that the retailer receives.. Doesn't the retailer order how many units they feel will be sufficient?

And yes the guys at Rockstar without a doubt knew what the demand would be on this game.. Their only problem is finding pants with pockets big enough to stash all the cash.. Thats bullshat..

That letter sounds like "We're sorry.. we are stupid.. Please don't take your business elsewhere.."

And on another topic.. Has the parental uproar started for this one yet, or is it still to early.

Ok, I was gonna be an ass and flaunt the game I have but now I feel sorry for you guys and wont do it.

That sucks.



Tyler!

Tyler, like that comment makes me feel better :p

Neipa, its not as bad as it seems. I still got DOOM3 and Prince of Persia (cant believe I skipped this game) to complete on the PC; and Manhunt and Final Fantasy X to complete on the PS2. Hopefully 1 of those games gets finished before GTA arrives. :)

Its still within my power, to cancel the order and actually buy the game instore, but I end paying a few pennies more. More then likely, like what happened with Vice City, Driv3r and MGS2 over here, the street date will be broken tomorrow and the game will have sold out by the time I get there.

I think I understand what play meant when they blamed the publisher now. If I got this right, Rockstar have limited the amount a retailer could purchase. The bigger the retailer, the more they could buy. So, basically, the bigger retailers over here, like Game, HMV and Virgin, got priority over their online rivals. Ahhh well, as long as no spoilers start going up on this Forum, I'll still be smiling :)

I was just checking out the new GTA game at our local K-Mart yesterday. They had it on the shelf locked up but I didnt buy it. I was in a hurry and didnt have time to wait for them to get it out for me. Watch, it will be gone by the time I get back there to pick it up. ( I probably just jinxed myself too!) :(

I tried. ;)



Tyler!

I picked mine up at Walmart Wednesday morning at about 8:30.. I was bored what can I say..

They seemed to be pretty prepared for the rush.. They had a reserve of about 30 games sitting on the bottom of the lockbox in addition to the normal display shelf full.

That is interesting about the publisher/retailer thing. I guess it does make sense when its put like that. Sort of like electoral votes.. Bigger the state more votes..

And no worries bounty. It's a fun game but i'm having a little trouble getting into it.. Not taking to it right away like VC or GTA3.. And the Prince of Persia is an awesome game.. I still need to finish it myself. So have no fear and don't bother with a cancellation, it can be waited on for awhile.

my version is on its way :)) ordered from gamesman.co.nz :))

gta san andreas
 

wtf? is it out for sale in the us? in britain we still gotta wait:( :( any way can anyone reconmend a site to buy it from??? thanks crompton p.s please reply

Gameplay or play.com

Im startin to get the hang of the game now. Its actually beginning to be pretty fun. I like using the forklift to try and pick up cars I think if you get on on the side itll flip over.




Tyler! :D

Agros....

They are selling it same price as Play.com was. £29.99
Im going their 2moro morning :)

If its not in stock im gonna be mad as it says its gonna be in stock etc. Just waiting for someone to come to the door then im off to sort out cash in bank account etc :)

Well, Friday came, as did my order from gameplay.com - but GTA: SA didn't! :mad:

I think you can probably guess, I'm a little p*ssed off... ;)

well, I bought san Andreas on friday at Safeway, same price as play.com charging.

Pretty good game. One or two missions are quite hard, some things anoy me, such as building up muscles, then they go down etc.

And every now and then, a person just falls out of the sky :S


One of my favourite things is being able to have a group of ppl with you, like a gang, and being able to change wat u wear etc xD

I have, green hoody, dog tags and cornrolls. Looks well smart, all the rest he is wearing atm is standard.

I have the car that you get on the mission agaist the columbains? With flames, new alloys and NOS xD

Pretty class game all in all :D
