Where to buy Grand Theft Auto IV?

Postby scotgio » Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:36 pm

Does anybody know of a shop in Glasgow that actually has this game in stock for the xbox 360? Looked around town today and everywhere seems to be sold out. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Random I know, but thought I'd try my luck!

No use answer , but next time try Geforce in Union Street because they always put the games on the shelves a couple of days before the official release dates.

In the mean time , try a copy of Mafia.

Been in there, the owner said he sold out of his allocation after two days. The games been out since Tuesday. As for Mafia, I played that game 6 years ago!

From the review at http://arstechnica.com/reviews/games/gta-4-review.ars . FYI This isn't a gaming fanboy site.

When I received my copy of the game, my neighbor said he'd like me to bring the game over, since his wife had never seen a Grand Theft Auto title before. She had, of course, read and seen much coverage of the game in the mainstream media, and she wanted to know what was so bad about the game. I played it for three hours, and she was surprised. First, she didn't think the games had a story; she was under the impression you just ran around killing cops and sleeping with hookers. Second, she was shocked that the content was pretty mild, overall; she described it as an R-rated movie. "So what is all the fuss about? We're all adults here," she asked after we talked about it for a while.

Rationally, there shouldn't be much fuss, but Grand Theft Auto has been made a talking point for every media outlet and politician who wants to score an easy point against the gaming industry and look like they are protecting the children. Grand Theft Auto IV isn't appropriate for children, not in the slightest, but its existence alone also isn't harmful to them.

Never said it was a Gaming Boy fansite.

From the one review that holds the opinion of an American "gamer", quoted, I'm obviously completely wrong.

Sorry if I acted like a hysterical,female Daily Mail-type reader.
Consider my wrist slapped.

My sources were incorrect & GTA does not have any facility in it that features the abuse of prostitutes,etc.

& even if it did it doesn't really matter cos "we're all adults here" & it's just a game,eh?

Yeah, shooting some lines of code with a gun made of some more lines of code is such a wrench.

:roll: Different game, same old shite moral arguments.....

That really is a shame. I would recommend washing their feet a bit and generally following the Golden Rule of do unto others etc. Hopefully you are taking the p1ss.
