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.

luckyy motha f**kaas i would order but... its gonna take about 4 days anyway to reach to U.S so ima just wait till 29th but this guys went they get it should post up sum gameplay's it will be great

[ystrandz]

I've just booked my ticket with British Airways to Poland .. 1 day return

[chaosatom333]

why early? Doesn't rockstar control release dates?

[AzaziL]

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.

[pwnsause]

you forgot poland

[N4GMember]

For all the years of Polack jokes, the joke is on us, they get GTA4 first!!!!!!

[kosha]

yeah they got battered in WW2 and now they get gta4 early. It balances out (almost)

[AzaziL]

"and the world thought they would always laugh at us, well guess who's laughing now, har har!!"

[GAMER NOT FANBOY]

lucky mo fos

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 1]

...get the SUPERIOR PS3 Version!!!;)

If you can't (i'e you own a xBox 360) PLEASE check your
'Home Insurance Cover'! for 'Fire Damage' or possible DEATH!!! ;-D

[Frnicatr]

LOL @ KUTARAGI

[Don Ahid]

LOL XBOT 3SH*TTY GO BURN A HOUSE DOWN

[Meus Renaissance]

I have a friend who gets this game next Wednesday. It's going to be torture watching him play it on my Buddy List

[OpiZA]

The wait is pure torture...

[Smudge2626]

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.

[Hydrolex]

Fuk em !

[heyheyhey]

what, you cant avoid the old tube for a few days?

[am2pmsurfer]

Damn, man! That's so unfair!! I never in my life got the chance to play a game before its released and GTA is something I wand bad!! This wait is torture!

[SUP3R]

I hate this.
Rockstar should control this cuz it's unfair to others who are trying to get into the first top 10 to get 100%.

[AzaziL]

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.

[brocool]

Does anybody in Poland even own a PS3/360?..

Kidding.. Enjoy the game polish-es

[hay]

No, there's no consoles in Poland. Poles even don't know what's internet, I'm carving this message in stone at the moment. ;]

[ar]

Luxury! We have to carve our messages in wood.

[addic]

same situation here in germany, guys! some shops sell the game on 25th...

so, only 6 days left... :)

[nimrod]

Hey could you plz name one?

I currently ordered at spielegrotte.de but they most probably won't send it before the 27th, which meens it won't arrive before the 28th

[Dark_Vendetta]

Can you tell me which ones? You maby know some in Munich?

[addic]

@10.1 + 10.2:

"heimspiel" in munich (heimspiel-games.de). give them a call and ask for the game! though i dont know if they will ship the game early i know that you will be able to buy the game in the retail store.

[Ghoul]

[kingOVsticks]

[Frnicatr]

KURWA MAC JA PIERDOLE!!!!!

[Malfeusz]

[nevimkdojsem2]

Nico is Serbian

[heyheyhey]

Tesco better do the same thing

i dont care about cheap prices and Tesco clubcard points if you use their pet insurance- GET ME GTA4 EARLIER THAN THE AMERICANS DAMMIT!!!

[Hellsvacancy]

poland IS england

[DomUltra]

Uh, no it's not.. Lol sorry to break it to you buddy.

[GAMER NOT FANBOY]

sir ken LAZLOW said his self said he prefer the 360 version..and since his work is in the game ill take his word over a fanboys

[DomUltra]

Oh yeah, wheres your "San Andreas" sized expansions? Or that's right, they don't exist, this is what 50 million dollars buy you folks: Jackshit.

Have fun with new characters, and some missions!

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 1]

...the size of Poland!!! ;-D
+Bet you Rockstar spent all that money on Booze,Drugs&Women!!! ;-D

+LazLow was DRUNK when he said it!!! ;-D
(Hmm on Micro$ofts money in'it!!!) ;-D

[Microshaft]

LOL @ domultra, sorry i didnt know you were a rockstar employee and knew everything there is to know about the DLC, the size etc. Think before you type fool

[Neurotoxin]

Its actually a well known fact that most polish people live in Britain, So their going to have to wait just as long for the game ;).

[rafaleon]

Niko isn't from Russia either, he is from one of the old Yugoslavia's country, probably Serbia but I bet on Croatia :)

[Dark_Vendetta]

Would be awesome, I'm born in Crotia :>

[Gabor]

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.

[nevimkdojsem2]

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.

[Fallen_Angel]

Was in best buy today and overheard one of them saying they are getting it in 4 days. I might just they are getting theirs delieved early and the employs are grabs their up when they get in. However there is always someone that break street dates if you look around enough.

[RealTimeWeaponChange]

F*CK BRITTTS HAHAHAHAHA

[PSMonster21]

FU*K YOU, YA CUNT

[Iron Man 2]

Shane Kim would like to congratulate Poland for getting to play GTA IV before anyone else,be sure to pick up the superior PLAYSTATION®3 version and have a good time!;)

$hane

[Microshaft]

nice one Dark $niper you've made yet again another account

[Alcohog]

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.

[Don Ahid]

GO TO G FORCE N TOWN AM GETTIN IT THERE EARLY COS A GT DMC4 FROM THERE A DAY EARLY N DEY R SAYIN THEY GET GTA IV A WEEK EARLY

[Egzekutor]

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 think that Polish are stupid, Polish people are one of the smartest in the world.

[Egzekutor]

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.

[Fenrir CFX]

Damn good job. I just have to decide: PS3 or 360 version? ^^

[Microshaft]

woo now hopefully all the polish who are flooding the UK and taking everyone's jobs will go home, thanks Rockstar ;)

[Escorcio]

LOL....Too True Man....Too True
XD
But Where Will We Find Our Plumbers???

~Escorcio~

[AftAMatH]

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.

[Escorcio]

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
