Default Greedy gits

I was a fool for not preordering the wii for my girlfriends birthday last year, and again for not preordering gta4.. But the thing that pisses me off the most is that the majority of people who preordered gta4 bought it with the intention of selling it on ebay. There is a guy selling 2 copies of it on ebay who is from Aberdeen, at 60 quid each.. And a guy selling 150 copies... I hate greedy fuckers like this!!!

It will just keep happening with the amount of impatient folk out there paying twice as much to these shitheads. FUCK

The 150 copies is probably a retailer.

Why not wait a couple of weeks and buy a cheap 2nd hand copy off one of the hundreds of cunts who will already be bored with it?

I will be waiting until i can get it from a shop. I just hate these fucks causing a shortage just for their own gain. A games suppose to bring joy to people, not fucking money (or empty pockets if you buy from these pricks).

As one of the aformentioned "cunts" I'm already bored with mine (lasted 5 mins, before I realised what mindless, repetitive twaddle it actually is). You can have it for a few quid less than I paid for it.

Repetitive? Mindless? You know theres a story line to what is probably one of the first most immersive titles this year. You seriously saying you played it for 5 mins - the frickin' intro is 5 mins long.

Fucked if I'm buying a game that has a 5 minute intro...

Anyhoo. I have an 11 yr old and it would be far too annoying for him if the game was lying around. If I was him and I wasn't looking I'd be playing the game... Some 'fantastical' mature games I don't mind him playing but not this one.

10 minutes? lol

That's pretty much the basis of all GTA games, you never played them?

You start off small time and what you describe is pretty much what you do, if anything the story line should atleast keep you going. That's the kinda thing you want to do online with friends in a free roam. If you guys can't even progress very far into the game yet based on how it plays then I'd hate to think how many FPS games you have missed out on.

Edit - As you progress you'l find yourself doing loads more. The variety and comedy city should atleast give you a twitch in your balls for this game.
