    Ok mixed news on this one folks.

    What I have been told is that there was indeed an issue with the initial consignment of stock on Xbox only. This was a manufacturing fault which damaged discs / rendered them faulty and was only discovered as stock started landing in the top tier distributors. There has been a major push to re manufacture these units / allocate stock from elsewhere and extra / replacement stock is expected to land over the weekend and in time for release day. In fact some of this has already arrived.

    We've been told that our day 1 stock is secure and we as in Gamesnash have no issues with shortages. Our stock is here in Ireland (but not released to us until Monday)

    Reading between the lines though and this is my personal opinion - there may be some shortages on Xbox considering wave 2 stock was not due until the end of the month I'd be wondering how much stock / production facilities could be utilised at short notice to get stock replaced. This all depends of course on what % of the initial run was damaged / faulty. I don't have that figure myself.


    So the plot thickens

    This could work though, she would not watch me play as she would not want to spoil it for herself, that means she would have to avoid me while I was playing it, could get a lot of peace and quiet out of this :D

    A girlfriend that still has all her original consoles starting from the NES and about 300 plus games to go with them, we have so much between us we need separate games rooms.

    It's not as great as it sounds. It means you have to spend time with them where you are not playing GTA.

    Sure it doesn't take much digging to find proof. Just sit down in front of each of them for a few minutes.

    I just want to warn anyone who even thinks about posting a spoiler...

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you get out of spoiling games for people. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a year moderating C&H and Podcasts. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you go away now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will 9pt you...




    I was listening to Podtoid earlier, and Jim Sterling actually made a good point that I'd never thought of. In GTAIV, Niko rarely actually kills people. Like, the majority of the time (unless you shoot them in the head) enemies are only ever wounded unless you choose to freeaim down at them and shoot them again. Really is a subtle thing that I hadn't really thought of until he said it.

    I can't take this anymore. Gonna see if I can get next week off work. Late notice but I'm owed some holidays anyway.

    Just need to come up with a better excuse than 'I'll be playing a videogame in my underwear'

    Michael and Trevor are secret gay lovers. One of the missions involves placing household objects up eachothers holes without touching the sides, a bit like Operation.

    I dunno, tuesday is such an odd day to release something, you'd imagine Rockstar would want as many people playing it for as long as they can for a few days.

    I think games are usually released in the states on a Tuesday and a Friday here.
