Its good that they are doing this, the guy in the store told me about it today......

Even if you pre-ordered it you still dont have much of a chance of getting it, so go down at 12am!!!

so your telling me that. i pre-ordered the game and they are not gonna have it for me. dats like going to a drive thru ordering food. paying at the window. then trying to pick up your order and they tell you they ran out of your order. dat just sounds pretty stupid. you probably want somebody to hold your hand in line.:roll:

for however many preorders they get thats how many they will have in stock and then some xtras. if you do not have one preordered you will get the xtras. they will not sell the ones that are preordered to the ones who just show up without having their game preordered.

It is for this reason that I'm waiting a few months before I buy GTA4.

My closest GAME is in a shopping centre that doesn't open until 8 or 9am, so I guess they won't be open at 12am!

I have my copy preordered, but there are 9 different stores in my local town, so it shouldn't be impossible to find a copy.

you could not be more wrong. if you preorder a game, they have it for you. they dont sell it. thats the whole point of PRE ORDERING a game...

Aye, they might not get the pre-orders in!!!

It happened with me when the wii came out!!!

stiv1987


The Wii is a gaming system, not a video game.
The systems themselves are obviously at higher demand, because there are different games for the Wii, not just 1 game.
So it's possible for a store to not have enough systems for a pre-order, but certainly not a game.
There will be enough GTAIV, and plenty extras.

If you pre-ordered a game then they will have it for you ALWAYS. If you don't know what you're taling about then don't make a topic.

My Gamestop is having a midnight release too... but....

Is it the evening of the 28th (at 12:00 when it turns the 29th) or the next day? Damn shipping days and release days confuse me.

The point of a midnight release is that they are told they can't sell the game untill the 29th, so they will sell it the second it hits the 29th. Be there at about 11:50pm on the 28th.

Okay, thanks. I wasn't sure if the 29th was the ship date or street date. And I saw an ad in EGM for some store saying "GET GTA IV EARLY! WE WILL BE SELLING IT ON APRIL 29TH!" which made me think it was the ship date.
