m4ttm4son Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'll be ordering this too soon. Not sure whether to go for the special box set though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've had this on pre-order with Play.... Can't wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiHal Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Pre ordered the PS3 version from Game. Play's postage has been a little too erratic for me recently, thought I'd try Game as the price is the same and they appear to ship from mainland UK (Basingstoke). Last game I ordered from them came next day despite quoting longer. On top of this I also get the loyalty points making future orders cheaper. And before anyone asks - "No I don't work for them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se5aScott Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm getting this and a ps3 within the next month or 2. Will definitely be up for some online fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 There will be a GTA IV PS3 special edition unit shipping soon apparently. Console plus game for same price or slightly less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se5aScott Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 yep it is on my amazon wishlist already+++ http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0015CBU8I/ref=amb_link_58236465_?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1ZXFMRK0A8NPBYN1T49G&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=180032991&pf_rd_i=16423381 along with cod4, burnout paradise, g25 wheel, dvd remote. It's going to be an expensive month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Has anyone else pre-ordered from play.com? im staring to hear tales of them not delivering on time. I was always under the impression they were reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Ok i'm actually starting to worry a bit as i'm really looking forward to this game and have told my only teacher on that day that i'm not going to be in college on that day (who thought he'd understand the reason was for GTA, turns out he has it on order too). My worry is with play.com, with all you guys complaining lately I don't want to miss the boat. Im pretty sure that by the time I get into my local game they will be sold out with 2 colleges 10 minutes away all the youths will be heading there to pick it up. Problem number 2- play.com deliver using royal mail, a postman delivers on bike, Collectors Ed is pretty big, will he actually carry it? imagine theres 5 people on my route that have ordered it. Hmmm I really don't know what to do. Any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_d Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Not sure really mate, I've got mine ordered via amazon and they always seem to deliver on time, or indeed early, for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yep, I'm amazon too.. but i think they also tend to send them out on a first order basis.. you're probably better sticking where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 What il probably do is pre order with a local small shop and if my play.com copy comes il phone them and tell them to sell it but if by 12 my play.com one isnt here il pick up my local one.

bullett Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Play tend to deliver bigger/more expensive item via courier. They have been pretty reliable for me, except for GT5 for which they game me a discount on GTA (and it was only a day late anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Last time there was a big game release (game escapes me) I pre-ordered but then I went into Tescos and there were tons of the sodding games on the shelves, and cheaper by about £3.

m4ttm4son Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Pre-ordered the special edition pack. I know it'll be a waste of money, but from amazon it's £10 less waste than play.com Might crack out the GTA: San Andreas for some practise.

Sparky Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Game are now taking pre-orders for the PS3 GTA bundle. £320. http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Hardware/HardwareBundle/~r334572/Sony-PlayStation-3-with-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiHal Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 emial from Game today to state Thank you for your order for Grand Theft Auto IV. The highly anticipated GTA IV is due to be with you on Tuesday 29th April. To make sure that we get this title to everyone who ordered it for release day we have had to start our picking and packing process earlier than we would for our normal pre-orders. As a result, we may look to authorise your credit/debit card from tomorrow. Looks promising for delivery on day of release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 ok to add to my excitement STATUS Packing: 23/04/2008 What does ‘Packing’ mean? Payment for your order has been successfully processed. Your order is now being prepared for dispatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 What does ‘Packing’ mean? Stuffing an envelope with GTA4 and sticking a stamp on it, I should think. I look forward to reading some reviews while I wait for mine from amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt R Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 There are quite a few shops selling early. Morissons, tesco and asda have all been selling early, people are even posting on AV Forums with pics of the game and receipts to prove it!

sbgwz Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 :sauer: play.com have gone too far this time I checked my order on thursday 24th- processing Then i checked on friday 25th- posted on 24/04/2008 so therefore maybe a slim chance of delivery on saturday nope! Okay thats fine sunday is a no no as theres no post on a sunday. Take monday off thinking il have to sign for it 12pm i get an email stating it has been posted this morning by parcelfarce and i get my tracking number. entering the tracking number at first there was nothing. Waited a bit and checked and it was in the national hub which i believe is in coventry, worst of all its 3-5 days delivery so i wont be getting it till thursday according to that . From what i feel it seems they had it set to posted so that we couldnt cancel and we wouldn't want to due to a possible monday delivery when in fact it wouldnt be sent till today. So final bit of my rant is.... If anyone wants a Special Edition of GTA 4 for the PS3 some time this week tell me ASAP and they can have it for RRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
