The prices are automatically adjusted. So for example Manhunt and Bully should be $2.49 instead of 9.99. Only works for full games not DLC like Gay Tony.
:lol so glad bounty hunting is in V. Was so fun in Red Dead.Doesn't seem that far fetched considering there are playable bounty hunting missions in the game. Quite a lot of open empty areas, too.
Being attacked by a bunch of Bounty Hunters in Blackwater Hotel when I loaded up once really took me by surprise. Probably one of the best shootouts I ever had with that game.
Also:
"Go with Christ, brah."
Dog confirmed?

So 75% off any Rockstar title...
The only Rockstar games I don't already own on disk or haven't played are Manhunt and San Andreas. Which should I get? I'm slightly against getting SA, because I'll probably never touch it again once V comes out. Does Manhunt hold up?

Is there any way to set a custom wallpaper as my PS3 theme? The preorder theme was kind of meh, just Franklin art. I wanted to put one of these as my theme

Theme? No.
Wallpaper? Yes. Find the picture (URL or USB), press triangle for info, set as wallpaper.
That's from memory so you may want to Google.

Playing IV some more (want to finish the story by the 17th), I hope that in V:
- We can still flying through windshields, that never gets old
- car hoods don't come loose so easily. That just gets really annoying in IV
- really interested to see how the melee was improved. I liked IV's melee combat, a bit clunky, but dodging, kicking, doing counters and stuff, was pretty fun
- our phone acts an MP3 player, really it's about time that was added to the game (and custom soundtracks too!)
- takes a leaf from Saint's Row and has cruise control
- allows us to change the camera angle for walking and aiming.
- being able to search through the police database from a cop car

I had been waiting for Rocstar to announce this. I definitely get a digital version. A sad thing is I managed not to know the release date but I learned it from this news. I still have to wait roughly a month to the day
+10 hours for the PSN slow download ;p
You can make your own theme using those images and it's not difficult. Google PS3 custom theme.
I assume the digital version will perform better than physical version. I have an opportunity to try both digital and disk version of the latest Need For Speed (PS3). There were stutterings when the game loads a new area when you are driving around on the disk version but there weren't those problems on the digital version or I wasn't able to notice those stutterings on it. Another example is some of the TLoU players complain the initial loading time but there are only a few seconds loading on the digital version of TLoU.
Well GTAV has mandatory installation, so it can't be that bad.

My guess is Euphoria will be tweaked to even greater levels. I'm certainly prepared for the best laughs in a long time.

Not sure if this has been posted, but the following article is about GTA V's ESRB review.
WARNING: Contains a mission spoiler, people. You have been warned.
Here it is.

If the spoiler is anything to go by, I think mission variety has been upped since IV.

I should mention I first got into the series with Vice City. I've never heard of the series until that game either. I was 13 or 14 at the time. I got it some time in 2002 or 2003.
GTA 1, London, 2 - All for PC and whatever is available for Steam. 1, 2, and London 1969 for PSX. 2 for Dreamcast.
GTA 3 Trilogy - PS2 (this includes San Andreas 1st Edition), Xbox, PC, Steam.
GTA 3 and VC Mobile - Android
San Andreas Special Edition - Unopened for PS2.
Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories - PSP, PS2
GTA Advance - GBA
GTA IV - collector's edition for 360. Regular version for PS3, PC, Steam.
Episodes from Liberty City - 360, PS3, PC, Steam
Chinatown Wars - DS, PSP
I also have:
- Physical GTA IV key to the city.
- GTA 3, VC, and SA Kubrick sets.
- GTA 3 collectible Claude figure.
- GTA VC soundtrack box set.
- GTA SA soundtrack.
- Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto (still haven't read it).
- Two GTA V viewfinders. Both are Vinewood Hills. When I first pre-ordered at my GameStop they didn't have the viewfinders in stock yet. I put 5 bucks down at the GameStop near my friend's house and they were able to give me the viewfinder I wanted which was Vinewood Hills. Then when my GameStop finally got them in stock they gave me one and it was the same one. Oh, well.
- Two of the original GTA V pre-order posters. I got 2 to hang up both sides. Both framed. They both say Spring 2013. Lol, the LIES!
- Two of the latest GTA V pre-order posters. I got 2 to hang up both sides. Both framed. The crazy thing about these is one side is the GTA V box art. $5 pre-order, and you get the poster. 22x28. You can now buy the GTA V box art poster, same size (22x28), from Rockstar Warehouse and it's $15. I don't think it's double-sided. Seems excessive.

I was still in school when IV came out, and at that time working at Target (ugh), so I couldn't really take off or anything around release but I skipped the first 30 min of class to go pick it up. Now that I'm out of school and have been working for a while, I'm able to save some money to really start collecting and this is the first game in the series where I'm working full time. So I'm taking the week of release off on paid vacation.
On the 17th my collection will include:
- 2 360 Collector's Editions (1 unopened)
- 1 PS3 Collector's Edition (Unopened)
- 1 360 Special Edition (Unopened)
- 1 PS3 Special Edition (Unopened)
- GTA V PS3 bundle (Need a new PS3 anyway. PS3 copy of the game unopened)
- PS3 digital version
- The overpriced PS3 GTA V Pulse Elite headset (my winnings at Foxwoods paid for this).
- 2 GTA V Limited Edition guides (1 will remain unopened).
- 2 GTA V regular guides (both will remain unopened).
Surprisingly, I don't have the GTA V regular version for 360 pre-ordered. But I can get that later. I probably will get the 360 digital version eventually.

GTA III blew my mind as a kid.
It was like a peep show or something. I was exposed to culture for the first time in my little chickeny life.

GTA III blew my mind at 30. =)
Me and a group of work friends would leave work, get a bite to eat, then go play GTA on my friend's huge projection TV and decent stereo hooked up. We'd take turns playing missions and doing rampages and the like. Amazing game.

I was 15 when GTA III came out. Like most people, I was amazed by it.
I didn't have a PS2, but my friend did and I always went to his house to play it.
Fun times.

This week has been a long hangover since the GTAOnline reveal, with small tidbits and conjecture dripping out each day... Really just extending the hangover and making it worse.
I've noticed this... For once, I think they have satiated my appetite enough to where I don't mind not knowing much more. More info would just be painful right now!
Impressive collection, Raptomex.

^Then you'll love this. Saw it on GTAforums, tracked it down to Reddit. I don't know if it's a hoax or not
I had read that I wouldn't be able to preload, but hit "download all" after purchasing, expecting just the atomic blimp to start, but the game download went ahead! Highly doubt I can play before release, but this is still exciting to me.
It´s legit, it's a pre-load for the digital version on the Euro PSN. Anyway, you won´t be able to install or play it until September 17.

Oh great, as if I wasn't hesitant to sometimes roam around in Red Dead because of random cougars and grizzlies, I gotta worry about sharks if I go in the water or fucking pumas if I'm escaping the cops in the woods
Lol, but still adds a great dynamic to the world and will really change the way we think about GTA as a standalone game.
