Do you think it will sell out within that one night?

Do you think you will get a copy the next morning?

What are your thoughts?

Regular edition is pretty much unabtainable in the UK, you'd need to be up bright and early, and go somewhere you think everyone else wont. I got my copy of halo 3 (sadly, i hated that game) on launch day from argos, cause the 4 games stores within walking distance had people waiting right out the door. On topic, I pre-ordered and I think you still can (special edition only most places now though, as it's only available online).

I think somewhere like a superstore should have some if you need to get yourself a copy on the day.

I doubt that game would sell out. There haven't been to many games that have done that. However, I pre-order just in case and so I know when I go there that there is a copy waiting for me. It's only 5$ so it's not like it's a big deal.

Oh contraire, I had to hunt everywhere when Vice City came out, I was out all night looking for it, same with San Andreas, but I was overseas so I'm not sure how it was here in the US.

I agree with you. With the huge games, they print so many copies that I don't think it will be too hard to find. I did preorder the game, but only so I could get it at midnight and get my duffle bag.

This is suppose to be the biggest game release and I've heard of some stores having 200 copies of this game. The Best Buy here has 175 Regular Copies and 50 Special Edition(Mine). You should be able to find one so don't worry.

Here in the Netherlands it's rare when a game gets sold out on the first day.

I haven't pre-ordered the game, but i'm pretty sure i won't have trouble locating one either.

You might have a hard time I have personally never bought a GTA game so I dont really know but with its popularity it will probably be hard to get.

Concidering it's ment to sell more than any other entertainment media on it's launch day... I think you should have pre-ordered. Not to say that you wont find a copy, because you will, but pre-ordering saves so much hastle. A bonus - In the UK we get pre-ordered games a day early 99.9% of the time from GAME.

Every time a highly anticipated game comes out everyone freaks out and pre-orders at my local gamestop. I just go up the road to wal mart or target and buy one of the hundred copies they have in the case.

at my nearest town there are 9 stores that sell games within about 500m of each other, so there is a good chance of still finding a copy. I have mine on preorder though, to get the offers that were going around.

What are your thoughts?

I'm just gonna go get it that day after work. If it isn't there, i'll just wait a week or 2 and get it then... Call of duty is still keeping me busy enough.. so i'm not stressing.

You just need to know where to look. If you know places that are not really popular just go there and they have copies. When halo 3 was released I went to the place I always go to and they had several copies left. Its all about the information you get and where you live I guess. If you live in a densely populated area I would suggest a pre-order otherwise just buy it on release day.

places that people are too dumb to think about..

HMV

Virgin Mega Stores

Blockbusters

Most Supermarkets.

Most Stores that sell games like argos,toy r us.

to me,i think this sell out is a joke,rumor and untrue.

I have not preordered it and I'm going to get it the first night it comes out.

And actually during the Halo 3 launch I did not preorder it and I went to gamestop and they laughed at me and said it was sold out. so then I just went to Target and they had over 35 copies.

On big game releases ALWAYS go to a non-gaming centered place to get the game.

No game ever has sold out day one, in my experience, I'll probably send out one of my friends to get it if I can't rustle up a copy.

Lets see I have a Gamestop a Best Buy or if I'm desperate a Target or Wal-Mart no game has ever sold out at more than one of those places on launch day so I think I'm in no need to waste time(and gas) to go pre order it.

Ya I preorded mine after the second trailer 10 months ago. For the people who haven't preodered, however, I'm sure all the big retailers will be carryign an extra box or so of copies.
