My mate got his game delivered this morning. He ordered it for £30 from gameplay.com

Apparently my copy from Gameplay is in the post and should arrive at work tomorrow morning, with any luck...

[Dan Furness]

Time you go to bed Glenn

I can just picture it

'no kids... dad is playing first!'

you nasty piece of work

[Cocker]

I expected you to come on here telling us about every little detail about how amazing it is and we should get our food supplies in now because we wont be going out for a while.

Are you saying that its good but dont get over excited or are you being sarcastic?

[Glenn]

Erm, sarcasm In lots of ways I'm finding it better than the hype, lots of little tweaks (like the details on the buidling) and not so little ones (the greately improved handling of cars). At only 3 hrs play I've still not started to explore it, but from what I've seen so far it *is* the best PS2 game to date.

The only downside (other than the framerate, clipping, and pops that every PC fan will always point out about every GTA on the PS2) for me is the Boyz In the Hood story line, whilst I don't doubt the dialogue is authentic even with the subtitles turned on I'm stuggling with the narrative a little, but then, I'm not exactly "straight outta Compton".

It is quite nice that when I dressed CJ up like a Chav (baseball cap, trackie bottoms and checked shirt (as near as I could get to burbury)) my respect went down and people on the street (or is that "da street" ) started laughing at me !

DMF > When I have kids they can get their own god damn PS2 (and I sure as hell won't be buying them an 18 rated game like GTA until I feel they are old enough to apreciate and understand it. I was amazed last night at the number of parents who were obviously buying it for the the pre-pubescent sprog that was with them. But that's another rant for another day).

BTW, I did manage to get SOME sleep (between 2am and 6:30am).

Stupid friggin play.com

The worst place to buy new releases. Don't know when they're going to deliver it.

[Dan Furness]

Should have bought it from Tesco they are are selling it for £29.99 (cheaper than PLAY). Have they dispatched it? If not cancel the order and nip down to Tesco.

Is there a cancellation charge?

Had a look at the web-site and can only find info on returns and not on cancellations although the option to Cancel Order is still there...

any help?

[Guest Kamy100]

Nope.

Go to your account, and then to the item and you cancel from there. There is no charge.

[Nayef]

Cheers kamy. Just done that and in 5 minutes am off to tesco's.

I shall mug the customer who has the last copy in his shopping trolley...

[Hughesy]

Just bought the game on my lunch hour. in the manual it has info about places to eat, drink and gambling. Have all these feature been added to the game then?

No, they put that in the manual just to confuse you....

(thank god this site doesn't have a sarcasm filter.)

[Glenn]

To be fair to Hughsey, the manual isn't like a traditional manual, it's done as a fake tourism guide to SA and it's not obvious which bits are satire and which are hints at game features.

Its like a guide as you said and until i get home n play i wont know what is just for the guide n what is part of the game.

So thanks for the comments American. BUSH OUT!!

[Nayef]

Just picked it up for £29.83 from Tesco's.

Cheers Kamy, I owe you a pint sometime.

Incidently, there were loads of copies on the shelves.

BUSH OUT!!

These folks agree

Same price in Asda

[American]

My one response on the Bush out issue: They both suck. It royally ticks me off that I pay double the federal income tax, percentage wise, than the millionaire Kerry/Heinze family.

(Though I do like a shaved woman.)

Bush Gone ?
