Wooo I haz the GTA4. Game apparently opened at 8am, even though the shopping centre doesn't open till 8:30. I walked in around 8:20ish and it was empty. I fully expected them to say sold out but they didn't. Surprisingly they only had a small queue too, and a brief fight when someone who had to get to work jumped it. There were no queues of 200 people like Asda.

 Some of us have been following its development, the series since GTA1 and just know it's going to be the best game this year. I've been dying to get my hands on it and I see no reason to delay. However, annoyingly the HDTV is in the conservatory and typically its the sunniest day ever so I have to wait till the sun moves around the house so I can actually see the screen. Why god why?

I refuse to stand in in line at midnight waiting for something since I work during the day. As I type this I have been informed that the postman has just delivered my copy at home
That's my night sorted now

I'm a bit stumped too, I still did it though, I think it was for fear of a Wii fiasco and there not being enough copies to go around.
I didn't mind too much Aitch was staying in London over night so it wasn't really a hassle and I was just a bit tired this morning. MB |

I've only ever done a midnight release once, and that was for the Dreamcast many years ago. I remember playing it till 4 in the morning and being especially tired the next day (I didn't have the same stamina I do now
 ). Nowadays I'm happy pre-ordering as I know (barring any problems) I'll get it on release day.
