GTA IV: sold out, but more expected tomorrow

Seriously. We just went to GAME, GameStation, WHSmiths, Currys and three indies and none of them had any copies. GameStation had a few left on PS3, and that was it: no 360 versions to be had anywhere. Two of the indies told us they were expecting more in tomorrow.

We live in Worthing, for the record, an English town with a population of over 180,000. That’ll teach us not to pre-order.

EA’s third quarter expected to toe line, figures tomorrow

Major UK retailers already sold out of GTA IV

Honestly, not a single 360 copy in the entire town. Mental.

I hope amazon get some copies. I hate living without GTA IV when lots of other people are playing it right now!

I’m hoping tomorrow should see some more copies. I’ll call the retail head offices tomorrow and find out when they’re going to get more stock.

And yet in my local Game they had about 50+ copies that had been pre-ordered and hadnt been collected! And that was today! Idk how many have been snapped up since or will be.

Worthing’s pretty “towny”, some maybe I’m not so surprised, in hindsight. I want to play the frigging thing.

The whole news “thing” died until this evening. All through the day UK time was very slow. Right, I’m off to bed. Night

I only live 20 miles from Worthing but I have never been there and since Pat has been describing a land without GTA and full of gruesome teeth extractions I am feeling no compulsion to go!
