GameStop called gamers who pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto IV Saturday to tell them to arrive at their local store 6 hours before the game actually comes out, inviting them to "participate in the fun." "Hi, this is Ashley from GameStop, calling to let you know that Grand Theft Auto IV will be available for sale this Monday night at midnight," the automated message said.
"And we invite you join us early at 6:00pm to participate in the fun and payoff your reservation. During this time, we'll process your transaction so that you can get out of the store shortly after midnight.
