Where Can i Prebook GTA 4...???

eoinaldhino

any ideas about wherei can prebook gta 4.. i was in xtravision a few days ago and they said it would be very hard to get a copy leaveing it this late..
i tryed to ring gamestop and smyths but they wont answer... the price makes no diffrence to me, all i am worried about is trying to get it in in the closest shop

the closest would be xtravision, but they have none.. tesco in clarehall is the closest tesco to me but not convenient.. gamestop in donaghmeade is manageable... i can get to the shops in town pretty easly but i dont know if i can prebook and wont have time to ring

Ring Tesco pronto and ask if they will have them in stock.

Last time i checked which was today Symths in Blanch still have room for pre-orders on the 360 Limited Edition Version but you have to pay a €25 deposit and altogether will cost €95

I think GAME are still taking pre-orders, not 100% sure though.

i pre-ordered on videogamesplus.ca yesterday
i e-mailed them beforehand and they have enough copies to cope with demand. i got it for around 42 euro delivered.

have to wait a few days though.

Any word on tesco having them or not? I would presume you can't prebook there.

I contacted Tesco today and they said that they will be selling the game on the 29th. I was told to ring my local tesco shop but and when I did they said they won't know if they'll have it till a day or 2 before it's released. So Tesco will be selling it, but maybe not all Tesco shops will have it.

Tesco also said that they sell on a first-come-first-served basis, no pre-orders.

you can pre-order in currys, oddly enough

Be prepared for a scurry...........

Rang Tesco and got the same response, Artane Castle is big enough so I'd imagine they will have it. How much in Currys?

Indeed, Im just hoping most people won't think about going to Tesco's to get it, leaving more copies for us

Zonda999

I cant believe it, there really wont be enough there for every1 on launch day, everywhere that is, not just tesco.No worries for me though, have to wait till june cos of the LC, hopefully, it'll be back in stock by then:D:D

I tried to preorder in GAME Dundrum yesterday and they told me that they aren't taking any more preorders as they have so many already and can't guarantee they will have enough games for everyone.

I think i'm finished on the 12th and that very day, play gta4 and gt5 prologue(which i've also put off buying) will be the first thing i'll do.Trust me, i have considered buying gta4 on release day and try to play iy with moderation but somehow, i dont think that would be possible, judging by how san andreas went down back in the day.On balance, prob a good idea to wait, i dont want to repeat for f**k sake:pac::pac:

Game don’t seem to be taken any more pre orders.

Looks like I will have to go GameStop....

Lets be honest everywhere should have enough supply for the demand.

It would be stupid if rock* would be foolish not to make loads of copies as its a guarantee hit

eoinaldhino

As i said Tesco in clarehalll is closest to me and is open 24hrs.. its defo a big enough tescos to have the game... but will they be selling it from 12am.... i tryed ringing them and they didnt answer then tryed the other tesco number thats in the phonebook which turned out to be the garage (idiots)....
and woud there be long queues for it.. would i even get it

i really dont want to wait a week extra for this.. ive been waiting 3 or 4 years already for it

After reading here about Pre-Booking's full up(another thread) i went in thursday and did it, i have a GAME card and while i read here it's free with it, i had'nt a penny till thursday and did'nt want to risk looking like a plank and saying i did'nt have a €5 if it so happened a deposit was required!!.

Missed GAME by 2 days, Gamestop said i just missed it but i'm second on there ''waiting'' list, went to xtravsion then and they were full, but went over to Smyths who seemed to be able to accomadate a lot of people(it's the biggest toy shop in Galway and in the city center, sense would tell you it should have the most orders) so i'm down there too, should get it between one of the two of them!!

No way am i waiting even an extra day for this, i'll rob some poor kid if i have too....but compensate him with his money back!!:D

Afaik, you can only now order the special edition for release day delivery.Theyre, 70 sterling each, i think

ironictoaster

Anyone who has not pre-ordered, should go there. Recommended. They even say they will send out a day before so you will have it on release day.

Gamesnash.ie - GTAIV

Pre ordered for me and a mate last nite in xtravision in Limerick, looks good for gettin it o nrelease day.

Well I suppose, it's better than waiting a week for more stock in your game shop compared waiting at least 1-2 days

You can choose express post with them where it'll be delivered within 24 hours of your order if you order before 11.00 and of course days before the game comes out. Just for extra re-assurance.

I can' t say I would recommend them yet, as GTA IV is the only game I have ordered from them, but I have switched by order over from Play.com to Gamesnash.
