GTA IV region lock shock
Got a Yankee 360? Prepare to be gutted
It's the gaming event of the millennium and a day long-since marked in the calendars of fans of virtual violence: yep, tomorrow is GTA IV day. But in ultimate party pooping style, our good friends at CVG.com have eaten all the sausage rolls and deflated the novelty shaped balloons with news that the game will be region locked on Xbox 360.
So all you North American 360-owning enthusiasts won't be wandering into your local gaming emporium and picking up a PAL version of the game, unless you just really like the packaging that is. PS3 owners will be looking smugger than ever though, as the Sony console apparently has no such issues.
"Why oh why?" we hear you lament. Though there is no specific reason given - and it does seem harsh when most Rockstar games are delivered Region free - you'd have to be dumber than a bag of Spam not to think it's to stop cash-hungry Seppos shipping it to us early at a ludicrous mark up.
So put back the party, get ordering the US version online and prepare yourself for the longest wait of your life.
May we suggest learning Yoga in the meantime to keep your anger levels in control?

"Highly-anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) IV has received a string of near-perfect reviews ahead of its worldwide release on Tuesday. The game is expected to break records for the fastest-selling game of all time and many shops are opening their doors at midnight for gamers. The game has been classified as 18 in the UK and Mature for US gamers. In the US, regulators have reminded parents that the title is not designed for children under 17 years old. In a joint statement the ESRB and the National Institute on Media and the Family urged parents to check ratings on games for their children.
It said: “With the latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto series... parents need to be reminded to make sure their kids are playing games appropriate for their age and level of maturity. “It is critical that parents consider the assigned rating carefully.” The GTA series has proved incredibly popular and almost equally controversial in the last few years. More than 70 million copies of the franchise’s titles have been sold worldwide but the series has also been criticised for glorifying violence. Needless to say, the game was leaked to the internet last week and quickly became one of the most popular console torrents in the history."BBC

GTA IV is estimated to rake in $170 million in it's first day of sales.......fuck
- Huge budget too. They had 350 full-time employees and 700 contractors working on the game for 3.5 years.Milan

So is it sold out in most stores already? Are they all preordered already? Should I waste my time going to best buys tomorrow? Huh huh??
- I think stores will have tons of extra copies to sell. GameStop will for sure. Smart to pre-order, but you'll be fine.CincodeMayo

I'll have mine tonight at midnight...then I'll be calling in sick tomorrow.
Just realized this week that I have a crapload of sick days built up so this couldn't come at a more perfect time.

Another thing to note (from what I've read)... if you have a PAL SDTV you won't be able to play GTA IV on PS3. Apparently there's no support for standard def on PS3 but there is on 360.
Might just be a rumour but worth looking into.

I booked a 'reserve to pickup in store' at a local Argos this morning, came up in stock so I picked it up at lunchtime.
All that drama about pre-orders and midnight openings etc and I just walk in to a shop on the day of release and get it. Haha.

I was thinking about getting another gaming system (besides the Wii), because my brother can use it as well. The PS3 has a blu-ray player as well, so it is more worth it?
- I caved last week and got a 360. PS3 does have Blu-Ray but 360 had more games I wanted and I don't have a huge TV for HD movies. If you're in it more for movies, PS3.selfproclaim
- ...huge tv for HD movies. So if you're in it more for movies, PS3.selfproclaim
- I do like movies more and I have a large TV.Jaline
