Exclusive: UK retailer to break Grand Theft Auto IV release date?

UK supermarket Tesco today sent out its shopping leaflet to Clubcard holders, and Grand Theft Auto IV caught our eye. It could have just been another reminder that it’s being released on April 29… but hold on! The words read ‘Grand Theft Auto IV** out 25th April’.



Being smarter than a goat, we checked the asterisks, and it nothing is detailed about the release date being a pre-order date or anything similar. ‘*Available on Blu-ray **Available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Subject to availability. See in store for further details’ it reads.


Does this mean Tesco is going to break the street date for possibly the biggest game this year, or is it a printing error? We have no idea, but given that the release dates of several big games including Halo 3 have been broken in recent times, you have to wonder…
