The guy responded to me and said that he would expect nothing less from me than to fully inspect the game. He wants to meet at a Jack in the Box that appears to be a very public location according to google street view. Hmmm. So as long as the box and everything looks legit, and the hologram appears to be genuine, it should be ok I guess. Should I go for it GAF???
Go for it. Bring a friend.
 
I just called, and when the dude picked up, he said, "nah man."

Looks like no.

Oh well, haha.

Wish there was a place in St. Louis I could call.


EDIT: AKyemeni has a point. It's hardly the same, but I called the lego store trying to get a fancy set and they told me no on the phone. Went there, and boom they had plenty.
 
I would bring a gun if I were you.

I actually have a ccw permit and probably will go armed. I just hate the idea of potentially getting in a situation where I might have to use it. The fact that it is a public location is somewhat reassuring, but it still feels pretty shady. I would prefer to just take a friend and leave the gun at home. 100 bucks isn't worth potentially getting in a shootout over. I'd just give the money up if he tried to jack me rather than trying something stupid over 100 bucks.

They would never say yes over the phone. It could be anybody calling. The most I've ever gotten to a confirmation on the phone about selling a game early is, "No, but you might want to come down here."
 
I wanna go get it from one of the dudes here in LA, but I don't want a console ban.

So I'll just wait until tuesday.

If you're in Los Angeles go on Craigslist and search GTA V. Theres a few legit looking copies.

What section on CL? Are they selling them for the normal price or some stupid crazy amount?

Well you're set! How many copies does he have?

If you disconnect from xbl., like pull the cable out,. will you still get banned?
 
People talking to ominous strangers and wanting to bring guns to buy a videogame. Ok, only in America I guess.
Ummm I specifically said I don't want to bring one to meet him despite the fact that I legally can. I have no desire to get into some wild west stuff. Just want to buy a game and be safe doing it.

This thread is some straight gangster shit

GANGSTER SHIT

I feel like I'm reading some bad GTA V fan fiction. If you feel like you need to be armed to make a purchase of a product you can buy anywhere in four days, perhaps the best course of action would be to wait the four days.

if you get nervous shoot him in the head
 
Seems like a lot of you guys have never or rarely used craigslist. I use it all the time and it's always been safe, even in seemingly shady situations (going into peoples apartments, having people over, meeting in terrible areas etc.)

Keep things public to be extra safe, and you should be OK. I'm about to sell something to someone from craigslist in an hour.
 
Ps3 version 240p confirmed.

Welp, first listing is now gone. Just went back to check, they are getting pulled down.

I would just keep the for sale part open and check it every so often.

Don't know, but it's not worth risking my Halo 4 edition 360, especially not when I have my SE GTAV payed off as well.

I still really fuckin want it though.
 
Oh man, this thread - it's like we've got our own GTA storyline going on in here.

I'm sure that guy will be fine ValleyJoe, but always trust your better instinct. Don't feel compelled to go.

At this stage, I think I'd rather wait for Tuesday though.

Dude I highly doubt he's gonna start a shootout at a jack in the box :P

You'll be fine.
 
Why doesn't R* just release early? Do they lose anything by it. I always hate how the games I want to play never get pushed up but some stuff no one wants to play does:(
 
The GTA thread is getting meta GTA style dodgy.

If the guy you're meeting in this 'secure' location for GTA V asks you to go bowling, run bro!!

There's only one way to avoid getting your console banned for playing a game early, and that's to make sure it doesn't tell Xbox Live that you've played the game before its release date. Disable your wifi, plug out the ethernet cable, make damn sure that box doesn't touch the internet until Tuesday at 12:01 am PST, and you'll be fine.
