Have to wait until lunch tomorrow to pick it up. Well peeved that there was so much uncertainty about midnight opening for some stores.

I'm pre-booked at Smyths and they're not even opening until 10 bells tomorrow. Bye bye chance of getting thre before work. Slap dash at lunch time now.

I only had 4 people in front of me,and the only reason that was cause two were trading in games and one was picking up a 360! No real big queue at all!

3/4 way's there:D

Rowley Birkin QC

Cos the Tesco-bot in Artane said that they got Clarehalls copies.

Just home now took me 45 mins to get it [snipped], im so shocked. The que was outside the door. Mostly adults but there was a few silly parents there with children. whats wrong with these parents

On behalf of myself, and everybody else who has to wait until tomorrow, I would just like to say that we all hate each and every one of you

DonkeyStyle \o/

C'mon dish the dirt, what were the stock levels like? How much were they charging for it?

givyjoe81

Anyone try tesco tallaght? 24 hours and would be interesting to see the scobes fighting over remaining copies if dont get one yourself.

Kovik

Picked mine up at the HMV Grafton Street launch. Was toward the middle of the queue, got in at around twenty past. Seemed to have a ton more in there.

Was a good laugh, a lot of drunken people and gardaí on bikes were hypnotised by the scene.

Now, to play this game for the next 57 hours...

Plasmoid

Not me and a few others.

The Tesco manager in Maynooth was turning away people and spouting some spurious yet inspired nonsense about a goverment sales embargo and potential imprisonment for himself. Then he insulted me for challenging him by deriding gamers everywhere...

Yeah...

So when i came back later and he had cooled down/sobered up a bit he showed me a letter from Tesco HQ that said something along the lines of : "With regards to the previous notice of 11:30am copies of GTA IV are not to be sold until after the embargo of 2:01am. Checkout systems will be monitored and any breaches of this embargo will be dealt with."

Typo... mad manager on a power trip... maybe even actual Tesco HQ policy i don't know. I got the last bus out of there GTA'less and will go elsewhere tomorrow.

When confronted by me and a half dozen other who had phoned and headed their specifically i think he actually got more confrontational and less apologetic... very odd customer service.

In tesco cork mahon point. apparently they had bout 60 something copies dno if it was ps3 and xbox or combined. Also apparently price was dropping at 2am!! they queue only had bout 20 people and was gone about 2 mins after 12!
