Shipping early?
« on: April 27, 2008, 09:32:38 PM »
My buddy has GTA IV (not the downloaded stuff, the real game), and I'm like, WTF? He said that Target are a bunch of idiots and sold it to him. I've been reading all over the place of this type of stuff happening. I heard that all gamestops and stuff are selling it tomorrow (28th) and lots of other things.

I preordered at Buy.com recently and:



Shipped the 26th. Isn't that unlawful? TakeTwo is raping anyone who posts gameplay, but is doing nothing about things like this?

By the way, I tracked it, it gets here tomorrow (28th! =O)

Yeh..

Shipping early?

Think it was the gamestation website I was on earlier, for those who pre-ordered before Sunday at midnight (now gone by a good 5 hours) they'd get it by Tuesday, which is release day. Of course, this means it's actually shipped out before it's meant to be released, so I hope you trust your postman cos he might clock it and steal it for themselves to have their wicket way with!

If you DO get it tomorrow (today for me, it's 5:35am on Monday morning, wtf am I still doing up?) then it probably would be frowned upon to the extreme. The biggest game in a decade is, simply put, too big to handle, too big for Take 2 (or Rockstar or whoever) to contain and it leaked out, got shipped early, stolen by the KGB and any other means of obtaining a copy earlier than they wanted!

I have absolutely no idea if people will be allowed to post their clips of GTAIV on YouTube once the game is 'officially' released, I was surprised it was removed the first time around!

Well, I'm not 100% sure it gets here tomorrow, but if/when it does, I'll post it up here.

And couldn't you go to the post office it's located at and pick it up?
