I hate to do this, but this board is BLAZING past, and I would like to get some input to this please...fellow Gaffers, what sayeth you!
Using someone else's pic or EU copy. Hmmm, I'll inquire.
Oh man, that looks really good. But I never buy vidjagame books.
I think the guy who was posting the info left so he could play the game (shocking, I know), but I'll make sure to check whether he posts anything new tonight anyway.

So, the only thing I would be getting with the physical release would be a physical map, correct? If so, then I'll be playin V the minute it releases in digital at 12:00!

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Looks nice. I like the all black cover with just the V. I'm thinking about it. I'll likely cave before the 17th and grab it.
As far as I'm aware last night people were getting "Dispatching now".
Now they're getting "Dispatched".

I regretted buying The Saints Row The Third strategy guide. I wanna believe this one won't suck.
I've never understood spoiler books. Particularly for open world games.
Modern games aren't so difficult that you actually need a 'strategy guide'.

The MS store sent me an email saying that it has shipped

I think you get me wrong it's not something that I'd 'need' and use. It's something that will look nice on the shelf.
I found a guy that says he has 3 copies of GTAV on Craigslist for 45 bucks. I'm thinking about it but quite obvious if he's selling them at that price they are either stolen or don't exist. I really don't want to end up naked in a bathtub missing my kidneys so I'm just going to wait it out like a good boy.

If they don't dispatch tomorrow, I might just have to go and write a somewhat angry post on the internet.
The friend of mine that owned a gaming store before they closed the physical store just popped up online on my 360 friends list with the game, checked on Facebook and I see that his brother posted a pic with just half of the special edition pre-orders, and there were a ton of them.
Makes me want to call them up to buy it early, but I still have a ton of games to finish first, damn this hype.

I tell ya, I don't buy game guides either. Lat one I bought was for Marvel vs Capcom 3 (5 bucks!), to oogle at the pics, and to learn the frame data. San Andreas was the last one before that, but that was before the ease of Internet use got to where it is now.
The Internet has made them all useless, aside from collecting. I don't plan on havin it open right next to me. Hell, I'd probably even still use the web for quick answers.
My logic is that since this is the last GTA on current gen, with the scale it promises, having some compendium available 24/7 could prove useful at some point.
$37 useful? HELL no. $23 useful? Perhaps. $12 useful? Verrry likely. Plus it's all hard bound and black and sleek and o so nice looking.
Edit: thanks to those who answered. I just may keep it, cause its freaking GTA after all...

I didn't think they were turning the pre-loading back on. I almost wish I had got it on PSN to save myself a trip. However it just feels wrong to buy digital one a game this big. I need to be able to have the disk.

"Big" as in file size or in importance?

Has amazon shipped yet for anybody in the US?

They will all the orders are just there ready to go, no point processing that early if they don't.
Have faith I just want it Tuesday screw this early bullshit.
Looking forward to the gameplay aspects of this game a ton. Especially the online component, but this recent article from Chuck Jordan (Sam & Max, Strong Bad games among others) is a fantastic perspective on the "satire".
I have the same one preordered at Amazon. I don't usually buy guides either, but for map-based stuff (like finding collectibles), it's easier than trying to print a map, reference a tablet/laptop, or whatever. Plus it's a nice book.
Almost every time i ordered for release day it ships on monday and arrives on tuesday. They rarely ship any earlier in my experience.

Ive ordered so many games from Amazon for release delivery, they usually shape the day before or even the day of (im in NYC, sometimes we get same day delivery)
If you ordered from Amazon US, you're not gonna get it before release. Rockstar would destroy them for it.

Yup. Simply not possible for Amazon.
Hell, Amazon has even called up my local UPS depot and told the driver not to deliver a game that was in risk of being dropped off a day before release.

Anyone know when orders ship out from Rockstar's warehouse?
I'd like to know as well. It'd be funny if they ship it early but I know that's not happening.
Yeah amazon does not play.
I assume it's not really Rockstar's warehouse and some contractor who handles game sales. Similar to capcom.
I've been trying to understand that myself.
They should have at least one for the US and one for the EU, so hopefully my package will get here soon enough.
Should be the 16th though.

Awesome, didn't see that. Kind of close to the release, but definitely better than nothing.

I put a listing on Craigslist offering $100 for someone to get it to me this weekend, but no responses yet. Sometimes I hate living in a smaller town.
