Target is good for games. I went there launch day for GTA and they had 15+ in stock at 6pm. I was able to find an adult to get it for me, which was great, cause GTA 4 kicks ass.
For anyone who is under 17, blockbuster lets you buy M games if you know the name of an account holder.

Well, since Jackie boy sent a love letter to the mother of a Take Two exec, I suppose there is a weird symmetry in effect here:

"Happy Mother's day, Mrs. Zelnick, which this year is May 11, two weeks after your son unleashes porn and violence upon other mothers' boys. I'm sure you're very proud."

Jack Thompson, jack ass, what's the difference?

@Daymonster: I'd probably nab it off amazon or some other online retailer. I try to avoid the brick and mortar as much as I can anyway.

@Daymonster: There's a very small retailer here in central IL called "The Gamer's Sanctuary" - they have less selection than wally world or Gamestop, but I'd rather order through them and have them get it delivered than get it right now from the bigger national evils. Just to support a friend of my wife's family and the greater endeavor of a local games retailer.

I was totally looking for someone to suggest buying my mom a copy of GTA4.

@Gambia: in the US it is, at least.

@Evil Stick Man:Where would you plan on picking up GTA from? Best Buy? Gamestop? There are no small video game retailers anymore.

I consider Target the lesser of two evils (gamestop)

Evil Stick Man — Mon, 05 May 2008 08:36:06 MDT

Ugh. If I'm going to honor my mother, it will not be with some cheap, chinese-made trinket purchased in a pack of 3 from some retailer that's still trying to bolster sales that have been less-than-stellar since Thanksgiving. Furthermore, while I have not yet picked up GTA IV, when I do so it will most definitely not be from this shady, opportunistic retailer.

Mother's day? Bah humbug.

Mother's day was yesterday over here. My mom is too busy/amused with Wii Fit to notice anything else im doing, so its ok for me to go out, buy a 360 and GTAIV. No one will notice.

Can't wait to teach my mom how to pick up hookers and then get her money back by killing them afterwards. Great bonding. Thanks target! Who said casual gaming was the way to go? lol

Lezard — Mon, 05 May 2008 08:08:23 MDT

My mom write murder mysteries and is always thinking up new and interesting ways to kill people. If she weren't completely indifferent to GTA, she'd probably be more amused by Target's chutzpah than anything.

Simply awesome. I know my mom would love to kill some hookers.

I <3 Target. Nobody in line when I got the game, and I got a skin for my PS3 with the GTA IV skyline :D
