We're sure many of you have already seen this Grand Theft Auto IVad, as it's floating around the internet for "a fair piece," in the parlance of the hills. But we like it and we wanted to make sure you put your eyeballs on it as well, because we care about you. Also, we had to make sure you saw the part where the guy was drunk. How cool does that look? Man, we're going to be drunk all the time while we play. ... In the game, of course.
By the way, you should know that this ad's from GameStop, which is probably just trying to trick you (and us) into pre-ordering the game. The bad news is that it totally worked.
The wait on all games is starting to get to me. Little Big Planet, Home, MGS4, GTAIV, Ninja Gaiden II, Spore, etc etc
Things shouldn't start their hype machines 2 years in advance. Makes us sleepy, not more motivated to buy your game (which we were going to do, whether you announced it 2 years ago, or 1 month ago)
How sweet would it be if you were drunk, and then you got pulled over, and there was a sobriety mini-game you had to pass, or else you got sent to the pokey.
i do somewhat enjoy these gamestop commercials... until it get to the little stupid logo at the end, "power to the players" irks me in ways that it probably shouldn't
That was pretty good, comin out of gamestop. I still remember chatting with one of the employees(About GTA4 ironically), and one of those gamestop "Power to the players" commercials came on(this was when the campaign just started) And the guy just sighed at the sheer stupidity.
Anyway, I was gonna preorder GTA4 this weekend..But My 360's in texas right now. I'd rather wait till my 360 is back, then sit staring at the case hopelessly.

The jazz song playing in the background is called Move, by Miles Davis for anyone who's interested.
