Default Where to pre-order GTA IV SE?

I'll definitely be getting this version, and currently have it on order at Play.com (+ quidco) for £69.99. However, hmv.com have it for £59.99 and I can still keep the quidco, so was about to cancel and go with them... but I've just received a mail from GAME who are offering the same £69.99 as Play, but with the bonus of 500 free Xbox live points and four gamer pictures. Unfortunately GAME don't do quidco.

So, when I cancel in a moment, which do you reckon I should go for? All vendors offer free p+p.

Edit: Ah, GAME do do quidco!

Personally, I'd avoid HMV like it had the plague. I pre-ordered UT3 from them 3 months before release and finally got it 3 months after release. That was the third and last time I'd been let down by them - I'll never order online from HMV again.

I'd go for GAME out of that lot. When I bought Lost Odyssey from them, it arrived on the Thursday before release

I've also had recent bad luck with HMV when they took over 2 months to ship out a Family Guy DVD that was meant to be a Christmas present. They had shocking customer service too.

I'll be pre-ordering from Game as I just realised I still have £15 of reward card points with them so I can get the special edition from there for £50 inc Quidco, which is a bargain tbh

Just checked out the trailer for GTA, it looks pretty good. Especially for consoles. But £60-70?

That's for the special edition with the goodies. The standard version will be £40 like all new console games
