Lol M21, how is the Reward Zone thing a rip-off, when it's free? I've also realized that Best Buy's got the best customer service around my area (including a Frye's around here). They price match ANYTHING with no questions (they don't have the best prices, I guarantee I can always find the same product for cheaper somewhere else, so I just price match). Yeah, you've got to spend a little money to get the free $5, but it's an extra $5...don't see how something to sign up for free like that, is a rip-off.

I seriously don't understand what your big deal is with this whole thing though. Anyway, guys, so you know, Brucie really lives .. <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/olm7xC-gBMY&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/olm7xC-gBMY&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>
The big deal is really about the people who ordered online...I don't get that, at all. Don't you guys have to pay for the shipping costs? I'm also just giving the pre-orderer's a hard time.
BTW, I never wrote that the Reward Zone is a "rip-off," just that it is full of shit. What I meant is that to me it is useless. I personally won't be spending that much money there to get a free 5 to 15 dollars for hundreds that I spend and could save even more elsewhere. Also, Circuit City and Fry's Electronics price match whenever I go to them too. You do know that all electronics stores now welcome haggling, correct? You can get away with a lot of good crap these days at great prices if you're good enough at haggling.
Yeah, I read an article about the price bargaining they're allowing. It's a shame, I loved the Circuit City in Virginia--when I lived there. The two local ones by me..there customer service is just piss poor. They price match anything, but they give you shit when you do. I can't stand it, just price match it and shut up. Do you're damn job and stop heckling the customer. Stop acting like it's a pain in the ass to get a manager override. Both stores (including one that just opened up a month ago) have terrible reputations around here. Fry's is cool, just a little out of my way.

The owner comes out for price matching and he always gives it to you as long as you show proof of the price elsewhere. I've even had him bring the price lower on some things too, it's great. Same here with Fry's. Since I moved further south the store is now one hour's drive away from me and I just don't have the time (or the extra money for damn gas) to get there anymore. I haven't been to Fry's in at least one year now, but I probably should be heading back in the coming months when I update my computer's memory and video card because they have the best prices around here. I hate that Tiger Direct store, they're overpriced on all the computer stuff. They advertise low prices and I just laugh my ass off. Some people are so stupid to pay <u>nearly double</u> the price of some items over there. BTW, that free gift I got for pre-ordering at Target was a GTA IV PS3 console cover. Pretty sweet.
That's a sweet gift. Fry's is about 45 minutes from me and with gas @ $3.92/gallon here, I simply can't afford that drive. As for Circuit City, they've always got absolutely great sales on DVD's, I love it. I think they also give you a 5% off on their price matches...so they basically match the price, plus an extra 5% off. I just wish they had good customer service here. Do all Fry's have a theme to them? The one down in San Marcos (where I go to school) has like an aqua theme to it, it's so bad ass.

There is one that is all sci-fi in Texas, I think. The one over here looks somewhat like a grand ballroom when you enter.
I pre-ordered from HMV the night before it came out. Although they said if my Mum (She had to pick it up as I'm under 18) wasn't there before 4PM they could sell it. I got 1000 Microsoft points which i'll probably save for when the GTA Downloadable content comes out. Also i got £130 (Which the way the American economy is going is probably about $4600) But anyway I really liked it and my mum said they were really swift. gave her everything in a Special GTA HMV bag (Nice Touch) But i can't play it as my Xbox Fd'up. Pretty Pissed but i got my Xbox just under 3 years ago and I was expecting it. But why now!!!!

You'd never get good games if you live somewhere like me. If you did pre-order at at least 3 weeks in advance you didn't get it.
It's too ****ing dark at night time. It wasn't like this in San Andreas. I can't do missions for shit at night because of how dark and hard it is to drive at night.

Driving is hard. One of the reasons is that I'm not used to playing GTA on an Xbox controller. I hope I get the hang of it soon.
Driving is actually a little different now. It's more like playing a racing game than anything now with the driving. It takes some time getting used to. One thing that pisses me off is the hand brake is set to the A button on the 360 and you can't change it. I'm used to hitting X because of Burnout, so I'm still getting used to using A or LT. It's a bitch.
