If this release is ANYTHING like Halo 3 was, which I'd almost guarantee, you'll be able to find this game anywhere and everywhere. When I went to Wal-Mart late in the evening on the release date of Halo 3, there was the whole top row of games FULL of them.

Hmm looking at the controller layout I have to say i'm pleasantly surprised. Games of this type usually have pretty tricky controls but it seems these controls are fairly intuitive.

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but here's a photo of the back of the PS3's box. This was taken from here:

You'll have a very good chance of getting it on Tuesday. I've picked up Halo and Madden on release days before and there was no problem. Stores will have enough copies of them.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

Thursday looks a helluva lot better than Tuesday and Wednesday, especially if you didn't preorder it.#RespectTheCultureComment

If you live in the middle of Wyoming maybe. Everyone else who wants the game will be able to get it on Tuesday.Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4
Just got done reading the OXM review and looks The xbox 360 "episodes" are going to be pretty good addition to the game. The reviewer says that Sam Houser (the president of rockstar) revealed to him the episodic content for the 360 will be separate storylines that can be picked up within the game. We can expect it to be released some time in August and it should be 10 hours long. We're going to have to pay for them though but I think it will be well worth it.Last edited by Jano; 04-15-2008, 01:17 AM.Comment

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4
What's the likelihood that this game may start turning up at some stores early?? I've got a Walmart that is about 1 hour away from me where I have picked up a few recent sports games before their official street date. Hmmmm, I foresee a possible road trip in my near future
I really wouldn't be too shocked if my Walmart connection comes through again.
Does anyone know any specifics on how Rockstar/2K goes about distributing this game?? Do they send them to the stores early like some of the sports titles or do they not ship until the day before release???
Just some food for thoughtXBL Gamertag: hoos4974

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4
If you want the special edition, you should pre-order. When I talked to the guy at gamestop he said they will only receive what was pre-ordered for that version.Follow me on Twitter - http://twitter.com/complex219Comment

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4
That's what they all say until they can't find a copy.
Why not preorder? I don't see anything wrong with knowing you will for sure get the game.
Of course with a game like this i don't see a problem. Every place will have them.Comment

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4
Could contain minor spoliers.
The following is a summary of the OXM Review. By previous instructions I have decided not to link the scans, but I can garauntee that this information is 100% reliable and from the magazine. Sorry for any typographical errors, there was a lot of information.
- Cell phones interfere with radio signals.
- The Stooges are heard blaring on the radio.
- Setting up internet dates to find " the right person" lead to phone calls and eventual meetings.
-You start out with Roman's old phone which only permits calls and text messages. Later an upgrade is available.
- ringtones are available for purchase.
- Cars get dirty
- Niko is from a never named but war torn Eastern European country.
- Peds clean windows, drink coffee, and jabber on the phone.
- People will join in on fights and then run away and call the police if you draw a gun.
- Calls and texxts add locations to your map, while significant missions are automatically flagged on the GPS in every car.
- There is atleast one Heat-style heist
- There is a subway train chase
- Missions provide choices like throwing grenades through the front door, or going through the back with a shotgun.
- Disguises are somewhat mentioned.
- While driving there is no lock on for your aim.
- You can use websites to set up meetings or find information.
- Lazlow confirmed.
- Elton John, Smashing Pumpkins and Stevie Nicks are on the radio.
- Queen's "One Vision" is featured on the radio.
- Certain Mob missions are activated by payphone.
- Finishing all targets for the mob completes achievement "Assassin's Greed"
- Hove Beach sells cheap track suits and nasty trainers while Algonquin sells high quality lesuirewear. Several missions such as a funeral and job interview require a suit which can be purchased at a high class tailor.
- Statue of Happiness is holding a cup of takeway coffee.
- You can take a cab anywhere but is not cheap.
- Food replenishes lost health, regardless of the source.
- Public transport is usable.
- Bonus missions come from random people you meet
- Celebrities are playing as themselves, one in particular in Algonquin.
- Bikes are dangerous and "best avoided"
- Niko is able to hurdle walls and car bonnets (hoods) and climb over fences and scale walls and hang off of ventilation ducts.
- Private dances are available at strip clubs.
- Roman = Niko's cousin. Hooked on bullsh*t and poker, but his fundamental cheeriness carries him through all resultant scrapes.
- Elizabeta = Raised on the same streets as Manny, she's taken a more supportive role in the local drug trade. Very well-connected too.
- Brucie = Brimming with the good humour only steroid-induced endorphins can bring. Brucie likes girls and hitting things.
- Bernie = A figure from Niko's past, he's embraced city living like nobody else. Along with other things best left unreported here. (To me, he looks pretty flamboyantly gay)
- Packie = Cheerfully thuggish heir to a fallen crime empire, he likes booze, fighting, and easy money. He as a comely sister.
- Manny = required your help to take back the streets for the kids. Sadly, much more annoying than the drug dealers currently using them.
- Mr. Gravelli = A well-connected crime boss of the old school, he doesn't have a lot of time left and he wants you to use it wisely.
- Highly cynical news coverage of your latest crime
- Email features spam
- Online personal ads
- Sites for local businesses
- Email lets you choose a positive or negative response to each message and he'll write a typically understated reply.
- Several plot twists, double crossings and attempts at revenge.
- Cars have a convicing weight and feel to them.
- Your female friends enjoy bowling and dinner while your male companions prefer boozing and strip clubs.
- Pool, dart and bowling are minigames. Bowling is used with the right analogue stick.
- Hot Coffee is absent from this installation.

- Tires can catch fire and eventually burst.
- The first DLC isn't available until august. They are confirmed to be 10 hours long. Individually or Together is yet to be known.
- Bodies in the boot (two bodies in this case and a boot is the trunk). If you hit anything it could open and you have to shut it before anyone notices.
- That "certain someone" is a cold-hearted killer that Niko is looking for.
- Police lightbars go "strangled and gargley" if you dent them.
- A pedestrian has the original GTA theme as their ringtone.
- A headshot on a driver results a fall on the horn and acceleratorComment
