A short while ago i was sent an e-mail from play.com where i had placed my gta4 pre oder,it said.

Your oder is now in the process of being packed then dispatched for delivery on 25.04..after this i then went onto my online banking account and indeed they have taken 39.99 from my account:)

Unfortunately due to security reasons i can't provide proof of this but trust me please this is legit!

Security reasons? What?

EDIT: Just show us the e-mail and cover anything personal with paint or photoshop something.

I think this means they're sending it out on the 25th, it doesn't necessarily mean it will arrive at your house on the 25th.

Then again maybe it does? That would make you one lucky ********!

I agree, pictures are the best policy here. Pictures of the case and nothing more. We hate spoilers.

I'm gonna phone GAME about my pre-order tommorow, and if they say that it is being released early and I can go in and pick it up, lets just say that I might be feeling a little poorly tommorow... ;)

I don't think retailers will let the game go this early. I personally believe that the copies people are playing are pirated.

In the city i live in its a "tradition" that if one store breaks release date, all stores does... But it's never the major stores that start, it's always some odd store that has no idea what gaming is about and why they are selling that game or whatever... So hoping that happens soon :D

Yes, they most probably are, seeing as there are torrents of the XBOX 360 version all over the net.

But hey, you never know?

Worth a shot, eh?

Did you pay for overnight shipping or something? B/c I really doubt you're getting it in less than 24 hours from your shipping notification, not to mention Take2 hasn't authorized any retailer to ship it early...

Just means it's being dispatched on the 25th.
It's not going to come on the saturday, post doesn't get delivered on sundays, but you may well get it on the monday, this happens quite a lot with pre-orders from play (by quite a lot, i mean it sometimes happens) and you will get it a day earlier.
No biggy, not early release rumours at all.

I Preordered my copy from Woolworths (where I work) and I've had conformation that my account has been debited, but this is only an indication that the item is ready for dispatch, not that the item is on it's way to your house, or that it has even been posted. You're far more likely to see it on Monday if it's going to be there early.

Yeh, downloads and torrents everywhere man!

And an update!

I went into GAME and asked them and they said, " No, we are still releasing it on the 29th. "

I also tried Tesco and the guy told me, " We actually did have it up for sale a couple of days ago for a little bit but we were told to take it off the shelves and wait till the 29th. "

Damn, wish I'd been in Tesdo when it was selling!
