Grand Theft Auto IV launches on April 29th 2008. Every person who places a pre-order on a copy of the game at either Game or Gamestation will receive 500 free Microsoft points (plus, codes to download exclusive GTA IV gamerpics - four to be exact) [1] (http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/news-features/news/GTA-pre-order-news-10032008.htm)[2] (http://www.gamestation.co.uk/discountaddall.asp?discountid=394)[3] (http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Action/Shooter/~r328876/Grand-Theft-Auto-IV/).

A GTAIV offer you won't want to refuse...


If 2007 was the best ever year for games – and the Xbox 360, specifically – just you wait until you see what’s in store for 2008. Indeed, we have treasures galore, for sure, and possibly none more exciting than Rockstar’s forthcoming blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto IV.

We’re guessing that the drip-fed supply of screenshots, occasional gameplay trailers and tantalising storyline descriptions have already whetted your appetite for this gritty tale of life on the mean streets of Liberty City, right? Doubtless all this talk about EXCLUSIVE downloadable extra ‘episodes’ has had you patting yourself on the back that you made the right choice of console too. Hey, welcome to the club! So are you going to be waiting in line to pick up a copy of the game when it launches on April 29th?

We doubt you’ll be alone on the day. But why stand in a queue, shivering in the Spring rain, when there’s a very real chance that your favourite retailer has already sold out to super-keen customers who’ve been camping on the pavement all night or, crucially, who have done the sensible thing and pre-ordered their copy? Can you tell where we’re going with this yet…?

Set aside the obvious benefit of guaranteeing that you get the game from Day One, how does the thought of effectively being paid to pre-order grab you? We’re not joking – pre-order the game through select retailers and you’ll receive a bonus 500 Microsoft Points absolutely FREE – save them up for those downloadable episodes we were talking about earlier. You’ll also receive codes to download exclusive GTAIV Gamerpics too.

It’s a no-brainer, which ever way you look at it. Or, more appropriately, (adopts gruff gangster-style accent) it’s an offer you can’t refuse. See big game retailers near you for more information soon.

Took up this offer today - pre ordered the game for release day. The points and pics are given to you when you go to buy the game, so don't expect to be able to con them out of points and then not buy the game ;)

I did mine in-store - they have advertisements for it in store too. You should be absolutely fine doing it in store.

Heh. I didn't bother to pre-order, and obviously I said 'no' when they asked me if I did... but I was still given the card with the free MS points and gamerpics. w00t!
