EXPIRED - The GTA IV thread PRICE SPECULATION ONLY

POSTED BY: morales 1 year, 2 months ago

*********************************************
I'm disapointed that so many of you went on and pretty much ruined the purpose of this thread by bragging on about how good/bad the game is and any other random and pointless bits of your life. I'm about to ask a mod if he/she could clean this up, but there'd be a lot of posts to delete. if you want to chat ****, start your own thread.

*************************************************

I've found it hard to keep track of where places have this game available and for how much, so i thought we could work on updating the prices in this thread.

personally im after the xbox 360 version but feel free to post prices for the ps3
up to now i believe the prices are as follows (high street, for cardiff anyway)
HMV : £45-----hmv cardiff are sold out, but they were selling at £49.99
Game £50!! ----- at merry hill £45
Gamestation £45
woolworths £39.99
Tesco £45 --- cardiff - sold out
Asda £39.99 ---possibly £37? --- cardiff - sold out
Zavvi £45?
Blockbusters £39.99 (cardiff specific: sold out, taking pre-orders for next batch arriving end of next week?)

these are the prices i obtained from phoning around. A lot of the time the CS told me the prices could change, usually lowering the price rather than making it higher.

HMV is open at midnight, so are the main supermarkets, the other stores open around 8-9am. note, this doesn't apply to all hmv stores, check locally first if you're store isn't that big


PLEASE NOTE : some game stores have told me they will be very strict on id-ing people who look under 30. Don't forget an ID

this thread is purely for speculating prices, i don't want any bloody comments about how good or rubbish it is. I will, and urge anyone else, to report those who do.

That'll be from HK though so could get hit with customs which is not so much the money but the delay, last time customs stopped something of mine they took 6 weeks to forward it on.

As early as you can be bothered. I'm gonna head down to my local Asda (Earley) for between 10 and 11 I think. I'll take my DS so it won't be such a bad wait.

Can someone help me round up the Xbox 360 hardware bundle deals?

So far I know of Woolworths selling the Premium console with GTA for £199. (Play.com also)

Aparently it's better on the PS3, if you have a choice. Much reduced loading times and far better draw distance. Must gall MS, considering all the money they threw at the developers to give the 360 extra content
