Would've.
But you broke some knee caps, right?
Mine says it'll deliver on the 17th, I hope that's right. :|

Yeah should do
That's the one thing I'm worried about ordering GTA V from the Microsoft Store instead of picking it up, but that $20 was hard to resist....
was thinking about getting this on ps3, but it looks like a botched port https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gGhXZxoSzU
Yeah, looks like shit. Damn, I thought they'd be even...
But you said to cancel it, right? And now you're going to try and find a store that sells it on the 17th? Yeah I've seen this movie.

yep no pre-load starting here either
No option to preload on EU store yet, at least not for me. Download list ye? Might be in 1 hour as well, because timezone confusion
The timezone thing makes sense, hopefully it'll kickstart in an hour.
Let's wait another hour.

It's funny for like 10 seconds... and then you're just left wondering, "Why?".

I was supposed to take off a while ago but I specifically stayed home to supervise the preload. I feel like a right idiot now. Their European office can't hold on to a date or time to save their lives.
This'll teach us. >: (
I'm playing ps3 version for over 20 hours now, and it's damn fine version I must say, Rockstar did a great job on this one.
i thought it was pretty hilarious, but yeah, it didnt need to be much longer then 10 seconds.
There will be. Closer to its release, I'll be creating a separate OT.

Huh? I didn't get it
At first he said i'll received it at 19th and now 20th
And already paid it, so i can't cancel it.
Nah, it's a long story.
Basically:
On October 2012 i preorder on Amazon (regular edition).
On May 2013 i preorder on R* Warehouse (special edition).
I forget to cancel my preorder on Amazon.
I get an email from Amazon, couple of days ago, saying my GTAV copy has been shipped and will arrive on the 23rd (more than a week from shipment).
I punch myself in the nuts for being a forgetful imbecile and ask for a refund.
So as soon as the package gets here, i'm sending it back.
Problem is, R* Warehouse hasn't even shipped the damn thing, so i have to wonder how long that will take.
I should've gotten the digital version on the PSN and be done with it, FML.

Great.
My mind has been buzzing with ideas for deathmatch and races, and deathmatch races. lol.
Can't wait to get my hands on the tools and finally see how much flexibility they have. Trying to keep my expectations in check, but still really hyped.

I'm worried about the resolution and AA used on the PS3 version. After seeing the comparison video it looked to me that the PS3 version had slightly lower quality textures and some blurring on the opening indoor scene. I know that both were developed in tandem, according to Rockstar, and that the RAGE engine now supports 720p on the PS3. The time of day was off in the comparison and the gamma level is always off on the 360, but I'm hoping they didn't go back to their old ways and use quincunx.
I ordered two copies of Gran Turismo 5 before it came out to ensure I would have it on launch day. I got one collector's edition and one regular copy. Turns out they both arrived on launch day, so then I just gave the regular version to my friend. He was pretty damn stoked about it!

You can't really make a good comparison with compressed web based video

Mine isn't yet.
Did you order from Amazon?? US or UK??
Perhaps not a good comparison, but a fair one.
The PS3 and 360 versions would suffer from the same compression issues.

One graphics-related worry (for open-world games) on PS3 is gross pop-in... geometry and texture pop is just the grossest damn thing and really harms the open-world experience, at least for me.
IQ? Eh... I mean it's current-gen, we already lost that battle like 7 years ago.
As long as it's not too framey and there's no really bad pop-in, I'll be happy.

why? I'm sure they made enough copies to meet demand.
Yep, Amazon, release date delivery. US, you?

My amazon order still says nothing
Did you order from Amazon as well?? Sometimes they won't get to your order until close to noon or after.

That's weird, you live in Italy, don't you? I do too and my copy is scheduled to be delivered on the 18th, even though it was only dispatched this morning.
Truespeed

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. But, when the video contains both versions that were subjected to the same compression you can start to draw some comparisons.
I do.
You ordered from Amazon IT, i'm assuming? I ordered from Amazon UK.
Out of habit, really.. Amazon IT has gotten only decent in the last year or so.
And again, when i did it was in October of last year.
