Subtle difference is I'll get GTA4 on launch day with GAME, I trust them with my business for a game I want badly.
I wouldn't trust HMV with an empty can of coke.

It's getting tiresome switching my pre-order around all the time.

deffinately gonna put my pre-order in there then.
they are miles cheaper than Game usually in the first place. an extra 500mspoints on top of Game's offer is just more reason to buy from HMV.

that £130 booklet is like, get £2 off a cd when you buy 8 cd's. vouchers which really add up to NOTHING, but the 1000 points does sound nice.

GameStop didn't offer me ANYTHING. I feel so ripped off.

Webster what are you smoking? (Hmmm, never thought I'd say that sentence!) HMV are always £49.99 straight up. They don't even try to act bothered about it either. Also when it comes to launches, they rarely fulfil preorders.

@Raheem
HMV are selling GTAIV for £39.99 delivered. Same price as game, with more points. Better deal, end of. Everything I've pre-ordered through them in the past (albeit DVDs and CDs) have arrived on time.

Sean, I'll use my £20 GAME Reward Points plus all the Gift Cards I've got from returning old games. HMV does NOT offer the same value. End of.

I got my pre-order at GAME for £36.99, so that's a saving of £3. Those extra 500 points are worth £4.25 so that's a better deal. But like John, i'm not too trusting of HMV's delivery and I am eager to play this ASAP. >_>

Cool deal, but what is HMV?

@Anaris82: Its a Video game, music, DVD store in the UK. So.. if you live in the UK, that is a mighty fine deal! 1000 MS points for a pre-order is pretty damn sweet.

I'll probably stick with Gameplay.co.uk, they've always been good to me with preorders. I've had a couple the day before release day aswell.
I'd rather be sure I was getting the game than be unsure and have some extra MSP's, but that's just me!
