My favorite part from that trailer man. Sweet memories and nostalgia of San Andreas. Tomorrow folks.

Never really noticed any pop-in during the hd stream I watched. Here's hoping that's the ps3 version I intend on getting.

Ah, cool, thanks. I was a little bummed I would miss out on it, cause I went for the SE.

Yup, but we didn't give a shit. Playing San Andreas in 2004 was awesome, and worth the shit performance. Just like GTA V will be, compared to the (obviously forthcoming) PC and next-gen versions next year.
First impressions seem to imply that GTA V performs better than San Andreas did, comparatively, on the PS2 for its time, which is fucking magical.

I dunno, I don't care either way, but watching Sethos stream I noticed once in a very blue moon would there be pop-in. It happened so little that when it did it was noticeable. That make sense?
Have you cleaned you 360 in a while? Did you install it to the hard-drive(both disks)?

Serious. The fact that we're getting HD SA is really all I wanted in the first place. I'm good with that

Chop DLC Zombie Story missions. Dawg of the Dead.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
The download is at 3 AM EST Tuesday. Not tonight.
If you have PS+, and auto download on it should auto download. Not sure about it turning itself on. Never done it.

I don't think the Day 1 Digital download will be available until tomorrow night. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the PS3 will automatically turn on and download it. Maybe someone else knows more about this though. I also preordered the PSN version so I'm interested in finding out more about this.
I'll probably just be staying up late and starting the download manually.

I know you're right, especially since I'm coming down with something, but... No sense pretending I'll be able to relax long enough to sleep after getting home from work or able to resist playing after getting home with the game

there is slow down on the 360 version.whenever I get into a crazy shootout or a lot of cops appear the frames go down.
Seeing the cover, I sort of regret getting the special edition. I hate the steelbook covers, even though they are collectible. I'd rather have that metallic cover so it matches GTA IV, but meh, pretty pointless complaint,
All I keep thinking about is the fact it is one sleep left. This is bringing me back to like N64 levels of hype, sort of like the lead up to Ocarina of Time or something. Don't even think I was this hyped for GTA IV.
Just one more sleep. Finish this Football game, watch the Breaking Bad episode I recorded, fall asleep, wake up, go to gym, school and then come back and wait to go to the midnight launch lol.

I just did the mandatory install, nothing more.

It was glaringly obvious to me in the Magic Mike stream. And IGN of all people reported it. It's not a big deal because there's so much textural detail in the foreground.. that and LA is just smog city
I would suggest installing the other disc as well, but that's just me

Yeah the only thing fancy about the regular box is the V is liked a shiny foil, but EFLC and IV had shiny stuff on the covers too so it's no biggie. Glad I've got the steelbook.

Why not install both disks? Are you short on Space? I imagine you major pop-in problem will be greatly alleviated by that as it no longer has to stream from the disk.
I don't even remember the last 360 game I bought, but I do know when I get them I make room and install them to my hdd. Less wear on the disk drive and all around improvements to the game, with a few exceptions of course(Halo 3).
I think this is the one game I'm going to skip video reviews on. I've watched quite a bit of stream footage but it was all free roam, non-story stuff, which I'm perfectly ok with watching and it hyped me more than any trailer released thus far. But I know a bunch of review outlets are going to put cutscenes in their video reviews so I might be avoiding them.
Will be extra tough since I won't be able to get the game until early October probably.

To expand on this, there's no reason not to install if you have sufficient HDD space. Installing increases performance, (should reduce pop in, load times, etc) reduces wear and tear on the system, and reduces noise. (big plus if you have an older 360)
I have an older 360, so it's nice to have a biplane in my house and not the Air Force One
Yeah, I think I'll resist. Hopefully people won't flood the internet (and gaf) with too many gifs from the reviews.
What about that:
"North American PS3 owners will be able to preload the game from 3am EST on Monday."
?
3AM on Monday = 16th at 3AM = TONIGHT.

I always install my games to the hard drive. I have a 360 that was the version just as the slim came out, so I don't ever want to take that risk of letting the disk run and it killing the xbox. Install both.
Spent whole day playing once again. 30 hours and counting now. Almost done with the story, 5 more missions to go. Playing with cheats is even more fun. There's tons of replayability too. I'll definitely 100% it, just like RDR.
I can already say, this is the greatest, most ambitious and awesome game of all time. Nothing comes close to it's quality and scale. And i doubt anything will beat it till GTA 6.
It's truly GRAND theft auto.

That's why I just ordered from Amazon. I'm just going to go into the office early on Tuesday then try and get home early to my delivered copy.

Pre-load =/= download and play.
Pre-load just downloads most of the files so when the clock strikes, you can download the rest easily.
AND
US doesnt have a pre-load
AND
They got the date/times fucked up.

Which system?
It only took me about 25 hours to 100% RDR, so this is very good news.
EDIT: That last part of your post. Oh man...

So how well does the game run compared to GTA IV? On the 360, specifically. Does the 360 or PS3 version run better?
so like vectors have the color locations baked in or something? I always wondered why they called them 'vectors'.

This sounds ace! In 30 min. I can officially say that I'll have gta 5 tonight. Well, sort of

Seriously, that dude would have been such a funny character to play as, and doing a heist would be all sorts of nuts.

Well, I can imagine in the excitement to actually want to play it, it's easy to just say fuck waiting anymore, you already did the required amount. It's gonna be a painful 20 or so mins. While I wait for both disks to load onto the Hdd.

I'm not much more educated on the subject, but I know it's a shape, rather than a rasterized image. The shape is made of curves, and lines, so when you enlarge it, you don't lose quality. Resizing an image brings about blurriness. I pretty much cut out the colors, as shapes. Then I can resize them and fill them with whatever.
