Points for GTA IV Pre-orders

via IGN


In a fit of unbridled generosity, UK retailer GAME is offering 500 Microsoft Points to anyone pre-ordering Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360.

It's a similar offer to the one that recently accompanied Lost Odyssey's release in the UK – only this time the title in question is an undeniable must-buy. There're a number of different purchase options for those wanting to get their hands on Rockstar's latest – and perhaps greatest – instalment in the series come April 29. These range from the vanilla boxed affair to a more elaborate bundle comprising of a branded duffel bag, CD soundtrack and Rockstar keychain.

Of course, those 500 Microsoft points might be handy come the arrival of that Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable content, rumoured to land some time in the autumn.
