What a fine old pickle I'm in. While I sit here and read all your comments on GTA3 being the best game ever, and all the cool stuff you can do in it, I still don't have a copy. Why? Because I'm a greedy git. Here's my problem - There's the possibility that, seeing as I'm in the 'industry' and everyfink, that I may blag a free 'promotional' copy of the game. But, this may not turn up for a week, two weeks, maybe not at all. Working for a games company and all, obviously the temptation is there to just go downstairs and buy a copy, but then, knowing my god-awful luck, the promo will turn up five minutes later.

So, what would you do? If you stopped talking about it, that might help. I'm an impatient sod, but not to the tune of 30 odd quid. But it sounds really good. But I might get it for free. See what I mean? What do I do? Help me, please.

How about you pretend that one of those unclaimed GAD's was suddenly claimed - send it your nan's house - nip over after work, pick it up - and you're laughing!

I say buy it. If you get a free copy, you can sell the original copy, prolly losing only a tenner as it's so new.
