I actually havnt pre ordered a gmae in so long, but this is getting a pre order from me.

Whats the sorta price tallies going around through various stores?

I hate buying **** from Gaemstop but it is just down the road, along with Xtravision, so probably lump my deposit in one of those two.

Genuinelly looking forward to this it looks pretty good and some previews I've been reading and watching seems to be indicating this is going to be a big enough deal.

Gamestop seem to have better added content compared to the rest, that's why I pre-ordered from them.

HMV will most likely be the cheapest place to pick this up. Have never pre-ordered a game before but this is really tempting me. Roll on May 20th!!

Checked price online, €45. Thats pretty cheap for a new release, will throw down a deposit tomorrow in Swords.

It looks like another amazing game from Rockstar...can't wait.

However I can't help notice the graphics look a little too soft to me. Compared to say, Mafia 2 or even what crysis 2 is capable of.

I wonder if it was a necessary tradeoff as the facial expressions take up so much GPU power?

It took them about 5-6 days to deliver a game to me before, I don't know what they're like for delivering things on launch day. 9 quid is 9 quid though.

I pre-ordered the GTA IV SE [safe deposit box included], got it delivered by courier a day after it was released. That was before The Hut took it over though.

Does anyone know if the soundtrack is available to instore pre-orders in gamestop?
I pre-ordered it but don't recollect anything other than "A slip of the tongue".

Yep it is, pre-ordered it there myself and it definately advertised the extra case and soundtrack on the poster

Zero-Cool · 13-04-2011 10:33pm

Lads, for any of ye that pre booked in a Gamestop shop (not online), did ye have to pay a deposit? I was in their last week picking up Borderlands and and was gonna prebook it but didn't have any extra money on me so didn't want to look a fool if asked for a deposit

They had a great setup on the backwall, huge posters showing the DLC exclusive and a 32 inch playing the trailers. Can't wait for this game!

Daemos · 13-04-2011 10:44pm

Yeah you need to make a deposit

I work in Gamestop and it is 3e min, also take in to consideration that you get an extra 25% trade-in value on games that are traded against upcoming releases.(prebooks)

I brought back Crysis 2 yesterday with an instant credit value of 35e plus 25%= 43.50 or there abouts, now all i have to pay is 6.50 when LA Noire comes out. its not heavely advertised in most shops, but if you ask it is available.;)

Do you know if the "trade 3 games get a new release for €3" offer will be available with this? So if you pre-book it with 3 quid all you'd need to do would be show up with 3 games from that list when it comes out, that would be sweet...

Better added content (an extra case and soundtrack download) from gamestops pre-order, plus some people will want it delivered on release date, so the extra €9 is worth it.

I was looking at the box today and it said soundtrack included.

Zero-Cool · 14-04-2011 10:16pm

Hey Freeman (or anyone else who might know) Will there be a Gamestop in Limerick that will be doing a midnight launch for this? I'll be working nights the weekend its out so I wouldn't mind lashing into it Thursday night!

Thanks!

It is on the list sir.;)

Normally they are planned in advance(ala Halo/GTA 4 etc.)there has been no talk of a midnight launch for this title and would have expected to hear if there was one this close to launch. If there is a change on the above and there is a launch planned i'll let ya know Sheehy

krudler · 15-04-2011 10:47am

I doubt it'd be big enough to warrant a midnight launch, the first game in a new ip rarely is. Even if it is rockstar thats making it, I dont think Red Dead got one either iirc. these days its stuff like COD, GTA, Halo, Gears of War. only other things I can see getting midnight launches this year are Arkham City, Uncharted 3 and Gears 3.

Fantastic...:)

I know there's a list of the trade in games but is there a list of new release titles that will be covered also? It's strange the way they're not advertising this €3 deal at all on the website, it's a great offer.

Sorry if this was mentioned before, but is there PS3 and Xbox exclusive DLC, or is it just for just Ps3?

Taken from the zavvi site,it doesn't look as if the xbox version is getting the slip of the tongue dlc,you get what is below and you get the slip of tongue dlc with the ps3,Im open to correction though.

[QUOTERelease Date: 20 May 2011

Pre-Order L.A. Noire and receive the exclusive in game content 'Sharpshooter Suit and Gun Combo'.

“The Sharpshooter” Detective Suit enhances your aim with rifles and pistols. Always a worst case scenario for any detective working a case, there are of course those occasions for Cole Phelps when pursuing a suspect escalates to gunfire. In these tense shootouts, the Sharpshooter suit provides that extra aiming precision to take the criminal down.
Alternative pistol model (nickel-plated)][/QUOTE]

The added content is store based as opposed to console based. No matter where you order it, both versions will be the same.

Only gamestop offer the "Slip of the tongue" (it's an extra case to solve) and bonus soundtrack if you pre-order off them.

On zavvi neither version is getting the "Slip of the tongue" added content, both the PS3 and 360 only get the "Sharpshooter suit and gun combo" - just gives you a better aim.

Amazon have the "Broderick suit" - makes you better at melee.

There is another added content, "The Naked City" which doesn't seem to be available in Ireland - it's a vice desk case and badge pursuit challenge.

Best one to get, imo is to pre-order from gamestop - an extra case to solve.

Sephiroth_dude · 15-04-2011 4:43pm

Ah I stand corrected then

Any idea what website are doing the naked city dlc?

They announced the other day that PS3 is getting "The Consul's Car" case exclusively. I just thought they might have one for xBox too, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Its probably just a added bonus because of the whole exclusive thingy they were meant to have with the PS3.

They usually send it out the day before release day and you should recieve it on release day.

I don't know if it's region specific. I saw it mentioned online in a few places, for example: http://16bitmonster.com/?p=2042

Basically an ad was released mentioning the PS3 exclusive case. I haven't seen anything for an xBox one, so I assume it's as Magill says and just an extra bonus for PS3.
