While Rockstar may be done revealing Grand Theft Auto IV footage -- having just released their fourth and final trailer -- GameStop still wants your five dollars. And what better way to make you drop to your knees and open up your wallet than a promo filled to the brim with spankin' new and hot GTA IV footage?
The trailer shows off quite a bit of Liberty City that we haven't seen already, and this is probably the most "alive" looking we've seen Rockstar's game in action. Well, I've seen it looking pretty alive -- I was at Rockstar's office yesterday going hands-on with the much anticipated title, so keep your eyes peeled for some of my fancy impressions later in the week.
So, who's already pre-ordered now? Was it to avoid disappointement? We hate being disappointed.

1) It'll take longer to get here therefore giving me more time to beat Lost Odyssey. I have to beat it before I play GTA4
2) I'm a limited edition whore and I get a free license plate from Amazon along with all the other stuff in the LE of GTA.
3) It's fucking awesome to get cool shit in the mail.

I played it yesterday and no, it's not really a huge laggy mess. I can't speak on how buggy it is, since I didn't play a final version of the game.
Plus, I got a free poster and some gamer pics for a game I knew I was gonna buy anyway. Although not as cool as what Amazon offers, it's still something for free. I'm not a swag whore, so it was good enough for me.
( Who knows though? I thought the same about SSBB, never happened... )
Besides I know this sounds like blasphemy but I never really went GaGa for the GTA series. More of an addition to the game library than anything else for me; this one is.
More sensible people buy their games elsewhere, or simply wait a few days for supply and demand to level out.
Can't wait. And from everything I've read/heard, the framerate/lag issues from the earlier, pre-delayed build are gone.
Supposedly.
Seemed to good not to do, I have never pre-ordered before but if a retailer is throwing money around, hey who am I to argue.
I don't want a license plate or picture. MS points at least have value.

Everything else I just pick up at Best Buy or Wally's World.
Weee License plate!
...
before i went i asked if they had slots left, he told me he didnt know, and that he's just gonna keep taking orders until the computer doesnt let him. this happened to my co-worker on i think assassins creed, and when he went to pick it up they sold out already. i hope that doesnt happen to me.
@ Cheeburga Walmart-yuck!
I'll get GTA, it is the only game my wife can tolerate, she likes the music. I don't think she is aware of the other aspects.
And honestly, while I totally understand all the reasons why one wouldn't preorder a game, if you normally shop at a brick and mortar store that's not hard to get to, and you KNOW you're going to want to play the game the second it's released, AND since it costs no extra money, there's no logical reason not to slap down $5. No shame to say I have about 15 games preordered myself...I know for sure the GS I used to work at that I still go to is doing a midnight release for GTA4, too, so i'm looking forward to not doing crowd control (suckas)
Ah well.
I have yet to find any game that comes out as hard to find. Hell SSBB was everywhere on day 1 I could have bought 20 copies of it at Walmart alone.
Im pretty sure Take Two is going to produce a lot more copies that for a game this big. No need to pre-order.
But my point is that I haven’t had trouble finding games at Best Buy (aside from Rock Band, which had limited stock everywhere), so I’m not going to bother pre-ordering. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of copies to go around.
Really, that's the only reason I used it in my subject!
some people live in towns where things do sell out, i was trying to get rockband for two months before i gave up and got a psp instead. we waited overnight just to get our wii when it came out.
you can either has or has not, if your not looking foward to this awesome game, cool, not everyone will like it. im not gonna push some kid down waiting in line just to get a copy because i didnt pre-order a game i wanted. so i pre-order.
