Gran Turismo 4 has been held off for about 2 years. They kept giving release dates and kept pushing it back. Its finnally coming out on the 22nd and I just went to pre-order it so I make sure I get a copy. You guys wont see me for days

And no April, this one is all mine. I've only been on the pre-order each time since its origional release date of xmas 2002!

Me explain?
I kind of made a scene at the Gamestop in the mall the day before Madden 05 came out.......Gamestop released it the night before. The *&*^ clerk was saving the copies above pre orders for all his friends and pissed me off when he wouldn't sell me a copy. My husband drug me out of there by my shirt and I haven't been back in since. I am still allowed at the one not in the mall......But it has so many tempting stores around it......

Well Scott, Doesn't hurt to ask

Just go to the Wal-Mart early (around 9 a.m.) on Tuesday and you'll find it there. I remember the day when GTA San Andreas came out, everybody was doing pre-ordering, I just went to the Wal-Mart that morning and bought it (I was also working in Wal-Mart at that time so that kind of help me get a copy).

I have never preordered a game and never had a problem with buying it the day it came out. Halo 2 and Madden '05 come to mind.

Our Wal-Mart is closed from 11 p.m until 6 a.m except for Christmas week, then its open 24 hours. I know all this because I used to work 3rd shift when no customers were in the store.
