Anyone Pre-Ordered GTA from Play.com?

Tyler, like that comment makes me feel better

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 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.

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.
