UK retailer breaks GTA IV street date?

It would seem that ASDA in Alloa, Scotland just couldn’t understand what “do not sell until Tuesday 29 April” means, as you can see quite clearly here. We’ve no idea if this is bogus or not.

So there you go.

Update: Here’s another one. Whoops.

I got shown the 360 version of the game in a Blockbusters today, the type on the front is embossed just like in that photo. So yeah I think its pretty real.

I would say its not since Morrison’s as well are doing the same. look here http://forums.britxbox.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=1278623#1278623 several online stores have also sent out too early and a fair few have gotten it before the release date as well.

@deanimate: never eaten a roo, but sterotypes for the win ;)

I have a friend who’s PS3 is being repaired & probably won’t be back in time, needless to say I laugh & bring it up whenever I see him

thats it. we’re just like new zealand in that we’re known for our sheep and its quite typical to be have england dwellers tell us to stop raping sheep and such like. its all good banter :D
actually it would probably start a fight with a lot of welsh people because they do seem to lack a subtle sense of humour at times.
hope thats cleared a few things up.
ill head off and leave you to your barbecue (COME ON!)
:D
