Yeah, so I just got fucking owned. My 360 RROD'ed 5 minutes ago. Guess I'm going to miss the GTAIV launch. Fucking Microsoft.

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Or Army helicopter races.

I haven't heard anything about it, but wouldn't it be neat if there were team races? Like one person drives while the other tries to shoot the other vehicles? Imagine helicopter races where both the helicopters have people with guns hanging out the side, firing at each other.

Yeah, so I just got fucking owned. My 360 RROD'ed 5 minutes ago. Guess I'm going to miss the GTAIV launch. Fucking Microsoft.

OUCH. I'm sorry to hear that. Wow. I'm man enough to admit I'd probably cry.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

you're getting the 360 one right?


cause if you are we can shoot each other in the head online

You will be shot by me long before that.

Mine RROD'ed for the 8th time a few days ago, lucky I have a second unit which I am not switching on to play anything until my GTA4 arrives

 

[NinjaFridge]

I've pre-ordered meself the Special Edition for 360 month ago for £70 but after seeing all the stuff you get with it I'm having second thoughts, is it actually worth getting the special edtion? I am a fan of series ever since the first GTA, but I'm unsure about the Special Edtion. What do you guys think? Is it worth the extra £30?

It is £60 on Amazon.co.uk

 

[pulga]

Yeah, but it's a especially big ouch since I don't live in the US. Last time I had to juggle sending boxes to and from Honduras to the US. Now I gotta do the same process BUT including Costa Rica this time, which just severely complicates the matter. So all in all, I guess I'll be playing GTAIV in... 1-2 months? Fuck.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Does that include Jim Norton? I used to listen to that show every day on XM radio. I don't like Ron and Fez as much, but whatever.

I would assume so.

Jim did voice work in Bully, as a police officer. Both radio shows are friends with Lazlow, the guy who does a lot of the audio work in the GTA games.

I think Lazlow is gonna be on O&A tomorrow (probably the FM side) to give them copies of the game and play some outtakes from the radio segments of the game.

Is someone recording it and putting it on youtube? I look forward to hearing it

Hey I just heard through the grapevine that the UK commercial is available on the marketplace, don't know for which country though..I'm just gonna check my marketplace and see if it's there..

Ohhh FUCK FUCK FUCK.

 

[Costanza]

I hope my Wal Mart does a midnight launch. I should probably call and find out. I'd be upset if I had to wait until they open.

If it's a 24 hour Wal-mart, they have to bring it out at midnight. If they don't, just start bitching and ask for a manager. You'll get the game.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

It's on the UK Marketplace.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

It's not. There.

 

[painey]

Just saw the UK advert on TV, it was strangely sped up, i guess to show it all in less time so they pay for less advertising, but it looked very messed up.

Wtf. Is anybody else having problems with the page using firefox? It's shifted too far to the right. I can't see half of the registration form.

I also can't scroll down. wtf.

Edit: Pointlessly edited to fix embarrassing rant like mistakes.

 

[MrCompletely]

works fine for me, but haven't gotten a registration validation email yet.

 

[Papercuts]

I can't scroll down but I can see the registration info, got the e-mail instantly.

 

[Doc Evils]

Just signed up to the social club.

 

[Teknoman]

Alright, lets get this started.

 

[Defcon]

I'm signed up, but there isn't anything to do yet.

I'm signed up, but there isn't anything to do yet.

This is just signups. It doesn't "open" till the 29th.

 

[Goreomedy]

Beat it, the Statistics Card Game? I'm intrigued.

During Take-Two's shareholders' meeting today, the publisher said that GTAIV has gone gold. The game is "in production and in trucks en route to retailers," proclaimed Take-Two CEO Ben Feder. Rated M for Mature, GTAIV will release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on April 29.

Dude I'm always pressed for monies, I spent way too much money on way too much shit I don't really need.

Don't worry I will put you out of your misery in GTA. I have an AK bullet with your name on it.

 

[Xdrive05]

Game's gone gold.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6189477.html

Impossible.

The moment the final build of the game gets burned to a disk, the singularity of its perfection will cause the laws of physics as we know them to divide by zero and create an infinite vortex of space and time that will rapidly devour the multiverse and God with it.

I'm still typing, bitches. The game hasn't gone gold yet. Say your prayers while there's still time.

Ah, so we'll have youtube videos from retail clerks and UPS workers by the week's end. Nice.

 

[got2bekidding]

The portrait sweepstakes is cool. If someone wins on GAF, that would be the hotness.

 

[Zep]

Gone gold?! Should have this by next Thurs, hopefully.

 

[Socreges]

what are the best chances at getting the game early? knowing someone in retail?

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

why is time to slow when it should be fast

 

[gnarkill bill]

"Take Two Interactive's President Strauss Zelnick has just confirmed at the company's annual general meeting that Grand Theft Auto IV has gone gold. "Trucks are rolling next week and there will be a lot of them", he said, confirming that the game discs will be making their way to stores next week ahead of the game's release on April 29th."

my thoughts exactly.

 

[neojubei]

Good chances.

Hell yeah!

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

Good chances.

Its a crazy contest :lol First you have to be chosen to be eligible, then you have to enter and win. Or am I reading things wrong because I dont see any entry forms.

 

[chubigans]

Oh man, can't wait. Though I wonder why Rockstar won't do some HD gameplay vids by then instead of crappy youtube quality vids from others.

Let's just enjoy the game, mmkay? There'll be a comparison thread for your bloodletting down the road, but not here.

Okay, so I'm trying to register for the social club, and it's telling me I can't because of a privacy policy violation. I tried it with 2 different browsers. Cleared cookies and cache. Restarted. And it won't even let me try to register. It's like I've been IP or MAC blocked.

Oh come on, do we really need a comparison topic? :/

 

[Papercuts]

Oh come on, do we really need a comparison topic? :/

Might as well give it a separate thread to keep the shit out of here, because arguments will happen no matter what.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Oh come on, do we really need a comparison topic? :/

It's going to happen anyway for those that enjoy those types of things. This will be the topic for people that are actually interested in the game.

 

[Defuser]

They need to fill up their monthly ban quota.

This post should be quoted on each page for the remainder of the time this thread is left open.

Well, dark10x needs somewhere to compare the discrepancies between the texture quality on the bottom of Niko's sneakers between the PS3 and 360 versions.

 

[Loudninja]

Oh well

Its a trap!

True

Yeah,I just stick to this topic, and share my GTA 4 stories

Man that topic will be crazy.
