Joyswag: Win Grand Theft Auto IV on your platform of choice

Apr 30th 2008 5:55PM (Joystiq)
Xbox 360.

I've been feeding friends and family at college so I'm out of meal points and have to fend for myself until the end of the semester.

Last entry!

FES = Fabulous Exoskeleton Soup

On a side note, has anyone found a copy of FES in stores? Gamestop's website says there are no copies within 100 miles of my home or my college (half a state away). Also, Best Buy's website says it isn't coming out until next week. I'm starting to think there's been a shipping error.

In Return of the Jedi, there's actually only one Ewok. They just filmed the actor from various angles and in various costumes to get the effect of many Ewoks when the footage was later spliced together.

Ugh: Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition exclusively at GameStop

Best Buy has their own safety measures, namely those clear locked boxes they put their games in. It's a matter of effort, do you want to have to make mock-ups for every single title that comes in each week? I'm a former GS employee and I have to say, I didn't get paid nearly enough to warrant that kind of work.

The bottom line is that the games that are gutted for the shelf are still new. Yes, buying a gutted copy does deprive you of opening the shrink wrap yourself but the condition of the disc doesn't change. There is a policy of letting employees 'rent' games for 3 days but you have to go through so much paper work and crap from your supervisor that it was basically non-existent at the store I worked at. If you don't want to buy the shelf copy just ask when they will be getting more in. If it's not an obscure title it will most likely be next day or the day after.

Personally, if I'm getting a gutted copy I always ask to see the disc first. If it looks played, I refuse to buy it.

Poll: For which platform are you buying Grand Theft Auto IV?

360 for me. I'm the only one of my friends with a PS3 in addition the 360 so in order to play online with them I'm going the Xbox route. That and I'll probably be getting the downloadable episodes when they come out.

Well that comment didn't go where I told it to.

Because some people don't understand that in order to display a game it's best to take the actual disk out of the box (so punk kids don't steal it).
