You bet. Regardless of what a Gamestop or EB employee says, there will be plenty.

True, create an artificial shortage, increase hype = more free money for the store in pre-orders. I can't speak for limited edition versions, but if it's anything like the Halo 3 Legendary edition (the one with the helmet), there shouldn't be a problem getting one within a few weeks of release.

Internet connection sharing didn't work?
 
Does anybody know if there is a way to setup an alternative mac address on the PS3? I can do this on the 360 and connect to live but I don't see it for the PS3. I dont have my router with me either .. :-\

If you're wondering, my school makes us register our computers mac address to go online and that's why I'm having problems.
 
Just went down and paid off my 10 dollar preorder.
It takes me about 45 minutes to walk downtown so I think I'll leave around 8:30ish and hang for a few hours.

Any other people living in Santa Rosa going to the release tomorrow night?
 
I haven't been keeping up with this thread (or any info on this game for that matter) but do we know of any celebritries that are going to be doing voice work for this game? Samuel was perfect as Officer Tenpenny.
 
The Gametrailers review said the difficulty level of GTAIV has been toned down since GTA:SA and it's predecessors? :(

Towards the end the say they were only busted a handful of times, but that the easier difficulty will open the game up even more to the mainstream. I know it won't heavily effect the fun factor, but there's something to pulling off something complex and difficult in a crime game like GTA. I really don't think it needs to appeal to the mainstream anymore than it already does, if that was there thinking.

Other than that, the review got me drooling.

IIRC, there's the option of manually putting in a mac adress. Just go to the network settings in the XMB and choose to set everything manually.
 
Call me crazy, but I didn't plan to pick up GTAIV right away. But after seeing all of the videos and reviews over the past few days HOLY SHIT! Definitely picking this up day one.:lol
