Everyone hates Game, but at least if you perorder with us you get a copy! Keep getting people coming in this week who have preordered from various places online only to have their preorder cancelled at the last minute :lol:

I heard some Games were doing midnight openings.

Do you know where I can find out which ones?

I may have to go that route now :rolleyes:

You won't get one without a preorder unless you're extremely lucky I'm afraid, just phone your local one and ask if they have any excess stock that they will be selling first-come-first-served.

I ordered my copy of GTA 4 off zavvi.co.uk, was a real hassle at first because I was registered with Virgin before that and my account was cancelled when they switched. Anyway after getting a new account I pre-ordered GTA and get an email that I've been put on back order :( least I'm still getting the 3 months free XBL voucher

Woah WHAT?!?

I've never seen such universally awful reviews for a game as Turning Point, and the demo was shockingly bad...

CoD4 however is a whole different kettle of fish, one of the best multiplayer games around.

More importantly though, no sleep till GTA4!

I thought Vice City was good, but San Andreas bored me. I prefer to just drive and cause carnage, doing missions when I can be bothered. San Andreas (for the hour or two I played it) just seemed too linear. I think my flatmate is gonna buy GTA4 at some point, so I'm sure I'll give it a go!

The most fun I had with GTA was actually GTA2, it was a lot funnier than the others. Plus, you could run over lines of Elvis and Hare Krishna.
