Does anyone know if you can turn auto-lock off for single player? I know it has been confirmed that you can in multiplayer, but what about single player?

So i'm freaking the hell out lol. I bought the game pre-order pickup in store from Best Buy.Com and paid with my credit card ( game was only $10! Woot! Thanks for dieing HDDVD!) but they said they haven't charged it, and now when I go to try to take money out of my cc it says a balance of $1.00 so im so fucking scared that i'll be $9 short :( :( :(

Hold me ;(

HOLY mother of GOD!! That artbook is incredible. Just when I had convinced myself to get the regular edition, as money is tight right now, I have once again changed my mind. I absolutely, must, at ALL FUCKING COSTS get the LE.

It will be mine. Or i'll fucking cry. I'm serious.

Yeah, but the artbook is almost too sexy looking to pass on. In the brief clip in that video I saw character art as well as automobiles in there. And I'm sure theres some great art from the city. It's basically a dream for me. :D

Well, buy the 360 GTA and then sell it with your 360 later. Some games just have to be played on release.

Being an employee of a large chain electronic store has its benefits, I was able to purchase GTA4 today which was strange because no where on the box or shipping package did it say do not sell. Also usually the system does not allow you to purchase the game if you scan it (forza, bioshock, and halo3 all showed up like this at in the system at my store).

Just started playing but already noticeable is the overscan that my tv has which is usally not a problem, but for GTA the cellphone is on the corner of the screen and so is some text which causes problems. Also drunk driving is GODSEND, its so fun to go driving drunk.

I hope you enjoyed your little rebellion, irritant. But remember, what SHODAN gives she is more than able to take away.
Oh, this is killing me! Any confirmed street date leaks here in the US?

Actually I just canceled it before 6pm.

I can't take having french text on the cover of my gotf.

Going to pre-order at Amazon.com.

I still have a pre-order for the Australian SE version as well which I'm picking up at midnight launch tomorrow.

Is there some kind of "broken street date" rule where one store fucks up and then everyone else has to sell it? Or what if it's an EB store, then do the rest of the EBs in the same area have to sell? Is there some kind of policy like that?

Does anyone know what time Walmart gets their shipments?

I just called Walmart and asked them if they had GTA IV in yet, and they said no, but they usually get big games a couple days before release, and I asked them if they would put the game out before release date if they got it in on time, and they said, "Oh yeah, most definitely." Soo...

Canadian version usually(always?) have dual english & french text on the cover.

The GTAIV cover has no text. Only the game's logo.
On the back, there could be a little bit...but some games actually come with 2 of those paper inserts. So you can have a full English or full French box. MotorStorm was like that.

And you'll likely have two manuals.

Anyway, as long as I have English, I'm happy. Beats having every single joke ruined by Dutch translation.

:lol

Wal-Mart's point of sale won't even let items be sold prior to their street date without manager approval. Good luck, I guess.

Yeah usually it's just a second black&white manual that's in French, or some such.

Don't worry, they don't change the title to "Grand Vol de Voitures"

I'll ask again, is there a server browser/matchmaking for multiplayer or do I need to manually invite 16 people from my friends list if I want to play a match?

So I don't know if its been posted before, but you can pick up and hurl condiments (mustard and ketchup containers) that you find at the diner at the corner of your street (go up the containers, press LB to pick up). :D Reminded me of the crazy fun of Dead Rising.

I'm sure it's mentioned in this thread, but it's rather large:

What's the music that plays in the background for the Niko Belic trailer that went up today or yesterday? Sounds great (and familiar) and would appreciate hearing what it is.
