here in the US they are everywhere, i would assume that they allocated most of their shipments here.

in America, they are common

Plenty of stock down here (eastern part of Aus), got mine for $78AUD (PS3 version).

Went into a store today (cough JB cough) dude was explaining to a potential customer that GTA 4 had no multiplayer, even after the customer went "I'm pretty sure I heard there was online" sales person sighed and said "Look, it's only a single player experience, no multiplayer online or off, like it says on the box". Sadly neither picked up a game box to confirm this and I was left standing there dumb-founded by the lack of knowledge from people who are meant to be the games department of their store.

Apparently it is sold out everywhere here in South Africa too! I was fortunately able to obtain GTA IV on launch day but my nice phoned and said she was not so lucky (and she lives in Gauteng meaning that the game stores there are huge and they get huge amounts of stock).

The UK seems to have the worst stock problems

Its outta stock here all over the country, but the shipment was way smaller than people anticipated though.

Not sold out here... I can buy a copie almost everywhere i go.

Maybe its because we're near U.S...

It is also sold out in several stores in Gothenburg Sweden both versions.

I got it the third day they had copies all over the place. NYC
