I just spoke to my local store regarding my pre-order of the GTA IV Special Edition and the
manager revealed that I was the only person to pre-order the Xbox 360 GTA IV Special
Edition. He went on to break down all the pre-orders for GTA IV for me.
Regular Edition
18 for the 360
18 for the PS3
Special Edition
1 for the 360
6 for the PS3
We were both surprised that the PS3 and 360 pre-orders were dead even but the Special
Edition orders were heavily weighted towards the PS3. I am really curious what the NPD will
reveal later regarding specific GTA IV sales per console.
Anybody else have numbers from their favorite store?
[p.s. The penguin is there because when I google searched "preorder madness" it gave me
the penguin, go figure]

Then it boils down to 9 SE 360's and 3 SE Ps3's
That's why I ordered off of Amazon. It just shipped a few hours ago.
I ordered from Amazon UK and its on track to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow morning.
I'm hitting up Futureshop tonight at midnight so I can pick it up (PS3).
Interestingly i talked to one of the managers there, and he said that during the midnight release for Halo 3, his store did over 15 thousand dollars worth of business that night alone. I guess that's what happens when you live in a college town.
I assume in smaller towns you probably have less pre-order options hence numbers would be higher at each store.
@311grassr00ts, did they say how their pre-orders for GTA IV compared to Halo 3?
I'm sure I head shot you some time. (MGO: saffron) I have a mean SVD...lol
@brainderailment- more than likely, i haven't played the game for more than an hour or two, and i'm not great at it, i played a game that was set up by zombiekiller i believe, and so who knows. why do you ask?
