Most likely you will be able to find it some were. I pre-ordered the SE one. Every were I have called they have told me they are only getting the amount that they have in pre-orders. I don't know if this is just the area I am in or what, but that is what they said.

The Big Fatcats up at head office in Game have had 3 prev GTA to know how many copies to have so they wont lose out in any money so i think you will be fine.

just go while everyone is at work or go at midnight like moi.

I'm hoping so, I'm lining up tomorrow night after work for the midnight launch - and I haven't pre-ordered anything. Worse comes to worse and you'll probably read aboot me in the paper/on the news, but I will have it.

That ofcourse depends on how many copies the store has ordered, how many people live your area, etc. so we can't really say much more than hopefully.

Usually on a big release, GAME is the one place where I don't have to hear the phrase "sorry, we're sold out" They always got a whole lot of copies.

Good luck there man. Most places that are having a midnight release only let the people that pre-ordered pick up there copies.

I would guess you'll be fine- companies are (usually) smart, they know this games gonna sell like crazy. Plus I have the same problem and didn't reserve it-oops.

Thanks for the response people.

I live in a medium size town id say nothing too big, theres a blockbuster and a GAME, also a Tescos a bit further out, so i can just try my luck in all of them.
