Gta IV

[Mean Muggin]

Pre-ordered, looks awesome. All I have to do now is spend the next 3 houers at work waiting to get home and play...longest three hours ever!

 

[raticus_usm]

Makes you think what the markup retailers put on videogames when there can be a $50 difference in price between stores ........ especially for a blockbuster game

Its not like Big W can eat a 20/30 dollar loss just to get you into the store to buy undies :O

At 78$ they are losing money - its about market share

 

[kaness]

Yeah I just picked mine up too from pre-order. Although paid $100 for mine. I don't have the luxury of JB or EB where I am it sucks.

The bonus is I played the game on Saturday, and I know a few people who have had it since Thursday.

For anyone who hasn't played it yet... It's bloody awesome. Well worth $60-$120.

Only 1/2 hour til I'm home playing it for the next 8 hours lol. Can't wait!

 

[Coach_Required]

Just picked up mine, during my lunch break, now to fake that I have a severe headache and need to go home to rest .....................


Cant wait to play this up on xbox live, it will be good to have a laugh with others.

Why do people go to EB?
Most expensive shop around

Agree in part, but they did match the Big W $78 price for me, no questions asked last night.

 

[ep2018]

I just jumped out of a moving car and hit a pole, killing me instantly. This is so cool.

 

[rapidshave]

I picked it up this morning at JB for $85, haven't put it down since.

When I was on my first date in the game a cop was chasing some thug, the thug ran past me, the cop into me and all of a sudden 1 wanted star pops up! I was pissed off but slightly amused. Those crazy LCP Officers.

Same, just went to EB and did the same thing. Traded in Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, they had an offer where you get 20% on top of all trade ins on GTA4, that, combined with a EB games VIP card got me GTA4 for the sum total of $14.60

Thats why i go to EB games. Probably get more for rainbow on ebay, but i really can't be arsed for the sake of a few bucks.

 

[bassmanx]

EB priced matched for $78 for me also.
Working is fully poxy.

A mate at work who pre ordered at $109 and forgot his receipt today is spewin'.

NTSC-J copies compatiable for PAL 360 consoles for the fussy gamer @ $64.79 AUD

 

[DonMania#5]

Shouldn't have ordered off PlayAsia, only saving 8 bux. Thought the game would be 100+ as it was advertised at EB

 

[Shinboner '07]

dammit, its really doing my head in that i dont have a ps3 yet

 

[pinkus maximus]

woohoo just got the last copy at my local dick smith for $85

social life ends................now

 

[Crimson Azure]

9 hours of play later & I'm at 10% but I have spent half that tim just looking around.

Not a big enough hit of GTA IV to calm the cravings better chuck another sickie tomorrow.

 

[Karl Pilkington]

Can you guys show me where it says the PS3 version has better graphics?

I wouldn't pay too much attention to KP Mo, he's a bit free with the truth, if you know what I mean.

Have a look at the games libraries, and you'll see PS3 doesn't compare when it comes to quality games.

Both the IGN and Gametrailers.com reviews said the PS3 had substantialyl better graphics. No anti-aliasing issues, no screen pop-in.

Still, it's hard to weigh up until we see how the PS3 DLC compares to the 360 DLC.

only looks slightly more detailed to me: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/209601.html

 

[Karl Pilkington]

i have decided to get this...

will i be able to go and get it now? Or won't it be on stock?

Bundle is out on May 2nd - can you wait til Thursday?

Well, I officially have a copy of BOTH versions, and have seen them both in action.

Put it this way: you won't really care which platform you get it on because the game is more awesome than being born - BUT you can definitely tell it looks better on PS3

 

[Team Mo']

can't wait to get my PS3 and i hope GTA is in stock...


don't know if this means anything but one of my mates wen't to EB chaddy at 7:30 last night to line up! He said there was like 300 people there and he got interviewed for some magazine or radio crap

 

[anti.]

Bullshit. Neither said the PS3 was substantially better, they both said the difference was neglible. And that the PS3 was not immune to pop-in either.

I haven't read about the PS3 having DLC either?

 

[Warsaw]

I want to get the Limited Edition one but don't know where to get them, i don't think too many retail stores have them. If anyone knows where to get it (In Melbourne) please tell me!!!

IGN listed a number of graphical advantages - I consider that substantial. I personally haven't noticed any pop-in on the PS3 version, but have noticed quite a bit watching my bro play his 360 version.

Gametrailers said it's 'noticeably' better on PS3.

Besides, regardless of reviews, (all of which claim the PS3 version is better) I've got both versions right here and am telling you from first-hand experience, it is definitely better on PS3.

please no more Xbox vs PS3 shit in this thread too....

amen to that.

Too much to ask for but i guess
