Surely if you pre-ordered you should get some sort of priority?

I should have preordered earlier than i did, im usually months in advance but i was a little less organised this time and only did it last week. Millions of people have had theirs preordered for an age, and its a first come first served basis. My own fault really, i didnt anticipate that i would want it so badly.

My copy of GTA4 will probably arrive either Friday, Saturday, or early next week. Sharon ordered it for me through eBay and while it will take that little bit longer to arrive, we got it for almost half what we'd pay from a regular games retail store.

And I was still finding new stuff: the way a police klaxon goes strangled and gargley if you dent the light bar, the pedestrian who had the original GTA theme as their phone ringtone, the way that headshot drivers can fall on the horn and accelerator so you're run over by a dead man... This sets the standard for what you should expect from a truly next-gen game. You owe it to yourself to play it."10/10

The greatest testament to GTA IV's brilliance is that I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since putting the pad down." 10/10

As a game, it certainly contains its fair share of flaws; yet as an experience it's truly unparalleled, impossibly ahead of its contemporaries in nearly every single department. For that reason, we've decided to bestow our highest ever rating on GTA IV. Put simply, there's no more deserving candidate."98%

Live it again...Grand Theft Auto IV doesn't just raise the bar for the storied franchise; it completely changes the landscape of gaming."10/10

But thankfully, that didn't happen. This is a mature game, and a devilishly good one at that."10/10

I'll be getting my copy either this Thursday or Friday, not to mention the Month-free Gold Membership card that comes with it. So I'll be popping online to see what the multi-player is like.
