Not really.. created a commotion, got plenty of traffic for his YouTube etc. The video was made in iMovie (some obvious effects used) and took very little time after the "game" was constructed.

When I put up 'Exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV Gameplay Footage' (which lead to a Rick Roll) earlier this month, I got over 10,000 views and plenty of comments. And it was well worth it for a bit of craic. Actually YouTube removed said video from 'My Videos' yesterday with no reason or anything. Pissed me right off..! :mad:

The Sligo store? I don't think so.. I know the manager there and he never mentioned it.

Advertisement for Tesco in the Independent today has a shot of the XBOX and PS3 versions of GTA IV and it says 'Available From Tuesday' and in a bubble 'Low Price Guaranteed!' but no actual mention of a price.

And just to prove it:

Branoic

What I really want to know is will the large 24hr Tescos have this available at midnight?

Stephen

giggity giggity goo!

Preordered from sendit.com ... last MAY!

This appeared today - status: Ready for dispatch (25th Apr 2008)

god I hope it arrives on Tuesday.

Rowley Birkin QC

Tesco advertising that "Low Price Guaranteed" for GTA IV and its available from Tuesday. 24hr stores included. No specifics though

Sorry if its old news.

cosgrove80

The fact they mention 24hr stores might suggest a "midnight launch" on Monday.

Interesting. Tesco could be the only chance of me getting mine

Kiith

Anyone have a list of 24-hours tesco stores?

edit...nm, i got three in Dublin that i might be trying. Tallaght, Blanch and Dundrum.

Charlie

Ya billix! When I saw the thread title I thought you were going to say that Tesco placed an ad saying it was on sale today.

There's also Clairehall.

Kiith

I was actually thinking of places that there are plenty of other shops around, so that if i go in early on Tuesday morning, and tesco dont have any, then i have other places to try.

The on in blanch never sells games! They only sell DVD's and CD's

I'm pretty sure the video of yer man who's opening his copy early from Gameplay is fake for a couple of reasons:

1) Gameplay.co.uk have told anyone who e-mailed them regarding the game that credit cards have been charged, but it's not being sent out til Monday. This guy just happened to get sent his copy 5 days early? Nah, don't think so!
2) The game wasn't in shrink-wrapping.. come on! :rolleyes:
3) Gameplay.co.uk apparently don't sent out their stuff with shrink-wrap loosely wrapped around it.
4) High quality printing paper and a DVD LiteWrite drives are only getting cheaper.

also don't all xbox360 games come with seal on the side with a logo or hologram on it?

Is the one in clarehall having a midnight release?

Hopefully they are, i don't see why they wouldn't put it on the shelf at midnight if the have it, they are open anyway after all

Royale with Cheese

I have it preordered in xtravision, but am going to try tescos on the Monday night. Xtravision don't open til 12 and will be more expensive even after the €5 I've already paid for it there.

They told me the same thing in the wilton cork branch. The guy I was talking to was very helpful and told me he didnt know the price but it will be the lowest price in a retail store said about the €55 mark he thinks.

estebancambias

Did he say they would be putting it out at midnight?
