    GTAIV Street Date Broken... (YMMV)

    Right so loads of people have GTAIV now, so you can probably buy it today in the shops if you have a bit of a walk around.

    So to help peeps, if anybody does, post here, tell us from where.

    If there is a Morrisons near you try there, I know 100% people have got it from there friday afternoon.

    To the supermarkets!

    Probably not. I looked around online a few days ago. Best bet is to just check supermarkets out over the next few days, and Tuesday morning....

    Try just walking into Woolworths or Asda on release day, I don't think either of them accept pre-orders in store. Obviously you're going to have to be fast i.e. in the shop as soon as it opens or in Asda's case you might be able it to grab at 12 midnight.

    I used to work for Game in Southampton, so I bet I know who broke the street date there... as they do with just every title that comes out. Surprised they still get UK stock from publishers anymore.
