Brady Games GTA IV Strategy guide delayed?

[Kindo]

I've gotten word from various retailers that the Brady Games Strategy guide for GTA IV has been delayed and will not be in stores until May 25th!!!!!!

Others claim they will have it on hand on Tuesday.

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon in February and they have told me that it will not be released anywhere until May 25th.

PS I am in the US

Anyone have any different information?

I already bought mine from GameStop and they have guaranteed me a copy so I think all's good.

You're eventually gonna want one, pie.
You know you can't do without.


The cake is a lie.

[ska]

The cake most certainly is a lie.


I've kept a spare £15 out, so I'm hoping GAME have them in.

[bboychibi]

Dope. I can't use guides anymore, but I still collect them. I only picked up a guide for gta3 lol.

[Kindo]

They had then in stock and they flashed me the cover of the guide, I reserved it there. It seems the guide is out there, but brady hasn't been able to print enough to meet the release demand.

Oh well, get yours early if you want one.

[vyce51]

I work at Target in electronics and in the stockroom today I saw the copies of GTA and the Brady strat guide. There's no delay at least for me.

[treab]

[Matthew]

UPDATE:
I has seen the strategy guide.
Expect to see pics soon.
I'm not home right now, but my retailer already had it so I went over to check it out.
By force.

If the cops are looking for me, don't tell 'em I'm here.
