GTA IV release date is 25-04-2008 in Poland

Yesterday we have informed you about the possibility of buying GTA IV in Britain's Tesco earlier by 4 days. Now we've got something from Poland and it's quite official. Grand Theft Auto IV will be released in Poland on 25th of April, exactly four days before official international release date set by Rockstar, by internet shop - Wirtus.pl.

"We try to deliver pre-orders in express time so there are some possibilities of getting games earlier than the official release date. Our customers are often shops, that's why realization of the orders must be very quick" - said the PR Manager of Wirtus.

1.3 - maybe it's a hint

So far, I havn't seen much in terms of Ads telling us the game will be released on the 29th, and it's only one week away!!! The 29th may just be a set release date, guaranteeing the game is released no later then that. However, they never said anything about releasing it early and with the game scheduled to be ready in stores by next weekend, it's possible they'll give the OK for the early release. That's probably the reason why the promotions have been so little, since the Houser's probably already anticipated releasing it early anyways. Hell, even GTA IV's main page isn't throwing the release date (4/29) in our face, or even on the front page.

And they must have been planning to release it early only because they know just as everyone that stores will more then likely release it early and to make everyone feel better, the best they can do is just open the flood gates already. So please everyone, keep trying to get this game, the sooner we get a lot of leaks, the faster we'll all be playing it!

Oh and did I forget to mention that of all A-holes to be playing this game before anyone else, it'll be the ones that won't pay jack sh!t and just steal it via bootlegging. Yep the ones that aren't even paying a dime will definitely be playing this all weekend while the rest of us who actually paid would have to wait until Monday night.

Breaking the street date for GTA IV is worse than other games because Rockstar is offering prizes for the first ten to complete 100 percent. Four days is a huge head start over other gamers who have to wait until Tuesday. I'm hoping Rockstar has a way to track time to completion or something along those lines, to even the playing field for everyone.

8.1 - That's why

We should all get it on Friday, to ensure that noone is getting a head start, even those that'll be taking the game home with them early and playing it before everyone else that weekend. Plus think of all the copies that'll be going for hundreds of dollars on ebay and craigslist. R* should get the final laugh and the moment it leaks, just give the OK to release the game.

R* is a gamers company and Take Two is no EA or M$, so an early release is definitely not out of the question. In fact for making us wait so long and forcing on another 6 months for us to wait, the least they can do for us is let us start playing the moment it hits stores.

I bet on Ukraine, Belarus or Russia. Looking of course on his accent and the fact that Rockstar describes him as "Eastern European". Balkans (where Serbia and Croatia is) are in south-eastern Europe.

Eastern Europe are former communist countries rather than a geographic term. Belic is a typical Serbian/Croat name, doesn't sound Russian/Ukranian at all.

There have been a few rumors of early shipping in NA as well. Although retailers like GameStop generally won't break street dates, I have a local 'mom & pop' shop that usually sells them to me early if they have them. I picked up COD4 3 days early.

This is not a history lesson , buy I would like to remind you that Poland was attacked from 2 sides, that was GER Hitler and RUS Stalin.
After it got completely destroyed it was lead under communism for many years.

SOME people on this thread are not aware the site that tracks all the GTA IV data ( https://socialclub.rockstar... ) will be closed until 29th april 2008... so no polish or lucky people playing the game early are going to get a 4 day head start, so calm down... byee.

When they start tracking isn't really relevant. They WILL get a head start on completing some of the game (IT WOULD B PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE GAME IN 4 DAYS UNLESS YOU ARE SOME 24/7 NERD).
It just means that when the site does go up they will be straight at the top with a headstart nonetheless.
UNLUCKY

SONY could now slam Microsoft on the 4 day early release date for PS3..

When you get the game for PS3 , you could :

- Play it
- Complete it
- Play with friends online
- etc

while XBOX will be still waiting.
