Microsoft offers GTA IV incentives to AU$120 pre-order

Following news that GTA IV is going to cost AU$120 (£56) in Australia, Microsoft has announced that gamers pre-ordering the action title for Xbox 360 will receive four GTA IV Gamerpics and 500 Microsoft Points.

The 500 Microsoft Points aren't going to be locked to the future GTA IV downloadable content, allowing users to spend them any way they like. Asked if this was an incentive offered only to Australians, Microsoft said, "I'm sure other territories will be doing something different, but this is Australia's offer."

For every cloud. GTA IV releases on April 29.
