I have pre-orderd my GTA4 from Play for PS3, I also pre-orderd from GAME for my brother on the 360, I went up hanley just now to exchange some games and I asked them bout the pre-order status and theve said they have had to cancle a bunch of peoples pre-orders due to a "On paper error" - But I only pre-orderd my brothers from there a few days ago and it isnt cancled according to them....
So if you have pre-orderd with game and are going to collect it in store on the day maybe its worth checking your pre-order is still on.....
On another note, Looks like EA are going to get that deal done on the 20th.....I swear if they did anything to hold up the release I would never by a EA product again....

Alternatively just walk to the shop on day of release and pick one up off the shelf like I will be doing. I can't ever remember a game selling out on release day.

All 3 GTA's I've bought on release day without pre-ordering.
Resident Evil (PS1)I bought on release day at about 10am even though shops opened at 12.01 am to sell it.
If I don't get it on release day I shall post up an apology but I very much doubt I'll be doing that.

Halo 3 omg! I went up GAME on the day of release at like 9am and they had like 10 copies that they could sell and the rest were for pre-orders.... Also Play.com is the right choice  Free delivery on everything and usally is cheapest around! |

s'funny that. The official line from Sony is that 'The Playstation store is getting a major revamp so users will not be able to access it for a couple of weeks" - this was released last week. Just had a look on sony's website and it says it came back on this morning. Us workers don't get to find this stuff out til we get home Whats ur gamertag - i'll whip ur ass on warhawk |

I moved my PS3 last night from the living room (with a HDTV) to my garage which is just a box standard TV.
Guess what - the PS3 wouldnt work because it didnt recognise that the settings had changed. So I had to take it back in the living room, plug it back in, change and edit the settings, save it, unplug it, take it into the garage and set it up all over again.
Fucking bag of shit - the 360 just recognises any TV and any settings.
Any solution Goose to help?

Hmmm I took mine over to my father in laws house last week so that the kids could play on it, I put it into their 15" regular TV which used SCART and it started ok....and that TV is about 8 years old... Have you got it working now? P.S. I will happily help you aslong as you not just taking the piss... |

no mate deadly serious.
I tried just the components (red, white and yellow) into the said holes - nothing. Then tried plugging the said components into a scart and trying that - still nothing.
Didn't half piss me off - I was wanting a game of warhawk!!
Perhaps I have the wrong scart, i've got so many at home now.
I thought it must be wrong. Can't see Sony making a big mistake like that.
(is your's usually plugged into HD playing at 1080?)

you just need to hold the reset button until it restores itself to the normal output mate.
