GameStop's list-o-GTAIV midnight release stores

If getting Grand Theft Auto IV when the clock strikes midnight on Tuesday, April 29th is of uber importance, then you'll probably have to head to either Best Buy or GameStop. And since Best Buy's midnight launches are rather minimal, that will probably leave the majority of you standing in line at GameStop. But which GameStop store should you wait at? Enter the GameStop list-o-GTAIV midnight release stores! Encapsulated in a nice, easy to read PDF is a list of U.S. GameStop stores who'll be holding GTAIV midnight releases. Also note that you'll probably require a pre-order prior to the midnight festivities. Or you could always wait an extra twelve hours and pickup a free $10 gift card at Circuit City. It's up to you though ...

I have mine reserved at Gamestop, but i am just going to wait till tuesday morning to get it. No reason to stand in line forever just to play an hour and fall asleep. Id rather walk in tuesday with no lines and go home and play for hours.

Lets just hope they don't magically misplace your preorder. I will go as soon as they open on tuesday morning. Sucks that I can't call in sick, my boss knows about GTAIV.

I have 11 Gamestops within 1-10 miles of where I live with the midnight launch. Is this game popular or something?

Hahaha, to bad for Gamestop I'm heading over to my local mom & pop store to pick up my copy. Gameware for the win!

I have friends that work at Gamestop so it'll be fun to do the midnight launch there with the guys. I enjoy these launches; waiting around outside with gaming geeks reminds me of waiting in line for a blockbuster movie on opening night:)

I plan to sleep in Monday until about 2, which will allow me plenty of gaming time Tuesday morning and afternoon. (I'm a freelance artist, I can do that:) )

Rockstar emailed people today about a new Niko Bellic video..: http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=bellicN&content=video0

(The music is trance music from Aphex Twin..just thought i'd toss that out there.)

Do you guys think I need to Pre-purchase this if i'm planning to pick it up at Circuit City on the release date? I'm wondering if I could just walk in and buy it on Tuesday or not.

the end.

I'd bet you're safe almost anywhere if you wait until Tuesday afternoon for a copy. I'm sure all major retailers will be up to their necks with copies, except Toys R Us.

Just paid mine off at Gamestop today, but I doubt I'll be going to the midnight release. I have an exam the next day. :( But it's my last one. Tuesday night is going to rock my socks.
