Going to the shop in an hour, if they won't sell it then, it's the midnight launch for me. And then I gotta race, because the last train home is leaving at 00:27 AM

 

[GazzaScotland]

Some people on the Amazon forums saying there tracking number never worked and it showed up today so you might be alright.

 

[Screaming Meat]

...Yeah.
We will pull through though.

I'm out of teeth

+1 here. All I can do is try to occupy myself with other stuff before it arrives and hope it will get here by tomorrow.

But. It's. So. Goddamn. Hard.

 

[matrix-cat]

I thought I'd be fine waiting until tomorrow but all you Eastern States bastards are getting midnight launches. Fucking Western Australia. The best we can manage in Perth is JB Hi Fi opening at 8am instead of 9

 

[Osaka]

Is the PS3 Preorder theme also locked until release? I can't seem to use it even though I've preloaded the whole bundle.

You are like 8-9 hours ahead of UK so at least you get it before us

That really sucks man, I'll be thinking of you when I'm at the launch in 4.5 hours

 

[Mistah]

My Amazon UK order arrived just now.

Sweet. I'm almost tempted to wait until tomorrow though.....almost Should be no issues with signing onto PSN while playing though, right?

Nope. go ahead ! Have fun

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Im currently in London and a nation wide store called CEX have had the game on shelves since saturday with a £70 price tag.

Good old CEX making money wherever they can!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

.

 

[UnrealEck]

If I got a bunch of copies on saturday I'd have sold them on Ebay or locally at a few pubs for like £100 per copy.

 

[dripdripsplash]

School tommorow at 15pm. My plan of action is heading out to the store grabbing my preorder at 10am and start playing.

I'm wondering how long time it takes for the game to install on the PS3, maybe I can go to the gym instead of wasting time looking at the loading screen.

 

[Kandrick]

Good old CEX making money wherever they can!

Most big chain stores ( mediamarkt, fnac, etc... ) started selling it today here in Switzerland, since smaller shops were selling it since last Friday. So much for the street date.

 

[MarshMellow96]

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to work with my fingers crossed.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Man that cough sounds bad, maybe you should take the rest of the day off.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Probably has been answered a million times, but can you be part of more than one crew?

 

[Numpt3]

Anybody had their Shopto orders arrive?

Nope, the postie has been.. no GTA V

 

[beyond_death]

Hopeful my copy arrives tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

 

[gruenel]

Probably has been answered a million times, but can you be part of more than one crew?

Yes you can.

 

[Heimbeck]

Five is the max.

 

[jimbosimbo43]

same here: "14-SEP-2013 - 19:19 Outward RDC Volumetric Acceptance - National Distribution Centre"

I was hoping it would be here today. Meh, what's one more day?

I have

Outward RDC Handheld Acceptance Princess Royal Distribution Centre

 

[| Praxis |]

Nope, the postie has been.. no GTA V

Oh well.

 

[Covfan]

Game installed and hopefully will be fine for tonight, have disabled automatic downloads just in case though.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Wow
This game looks and runs awesome on Ps3.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Probably has been answered a million times, but can you be part of more than one crew?

Yeah, 5 in total. Some Crews are funny about it, though. OCP springs to mind.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Man that cough sounds bad, maybe you should take the rest of the day off.

Funny thing is I might be off tomorrow anyway.

 

[STG]

IT IS HERE!

 

[Grumbul]

Looks like our friends over at that Shop you can go To did not get this to anyone early then (or at least no-one from forums I have been looking at).

Straight back in the mail for a full refund since Amazon shipped sooner and cheaper.

The power of consumerism!

 

[Kiraly]

WORK TILL 00:00

THIS IS HOLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

 

[Windom Earle]

I haven't see the video, but they're both 720p resolution.

Has this been confirmed?

Found a non-spoilery comparison between PS3 and 360 versions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59EsnxJ0Aks

Different times of day, but PS3 version seems a tad sharper to me. 360 version looks quite vibrant but a little blurry here.

Both look excellent, thanks so much for this.

 

[dandoolan]

Won't know if mine arrived until after 1. Excited.

 

[monkeyhat]

Nope, the postie has been.. no GTA V

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I had to go to work before the postie arrived today, but I hoped the game would have arrived by the time I got home. The Shop To app was reporting the game had shipped on Friday, then the website was reporting it shipped on Saturday morning. Same for you guys?

Man, I paid £6 more than Amazon in the hope that Shop To would do their usual early-shipping. Was gutted when I saw people mention their Amazon orders had arrived on Saturday

 

[Acorn]

God damnit, no game (shopto). I knew the saturday dispatch would screw any chance.

A guy earlier on said he got it.

 

[stargateheaven]

nope

 

[Ostinatto]

my disk drive on my PS3 Slim is making too much noises, is there a way to install the game completely into the hard drive?

another thing. can i change the R2 (Accelerate) button to R1? i'd feel more comfortable that way.

Well mine hasn't arrived yet from amazon so not everyone is getting it early.

From beyond 3d. Ps3 was 720p with post process AA ( from the gameplay trailers) and I believe the 360 was 720p FXAA from a screen capture. We may have to wait for digital foundry to be sure.

Guess that means tomorrow for me then.

What the hell.... I keep bloody getting

Sorry, there has been a problem with reference number you've entered. Please try again.

 

[doby]

No game for me today although I wasn't expecting it anyway since Tesco are bastards.

Had a call just now from fedex wanting additional directions for my house because the driver couldn't find me on friday, now I don't know what I'm more excited for, GTA (which is confirmed to come first class mail) or a mystery parcel I have no recollection of ordering!

Seriously? Act less like a spoiled brat!

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Does anyone know when EU PSN will let you play your preordered copy? First time buying a day 1 game digitally..

00.00 GMT, 1AM BST. You can see that on the game information after you install it

 

[Betta Lines]

My friend would like to buy this at a retail store in the UK tomorrow. What do you think will be his best bet in terms of just walking in and painlessly picking up a copy? A supermarket?

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Wow, GTA 4 was 1024x640 I think on PS3, amazing what they can coax out of current gen.

 

[Addnan]

There should be stock everywhere.

 

[Numpt3]

Yup, ordered it from Shopto instead of Amazon because of their habbit of sending it early... Now reading that Amazon orders are early.. Grrr.

 

[H1PSTER]

There are so many people on social networking websites complaining that ShopTo hasn't gave them a copy early.

It's quite silly, especially when one person I saw looked about seven.

 

[SirNinja]

What a shame. I hope that my preload will work (currently at 90%)... been watching my router traffic and there were some error packets during the night :\

Finally installed it!

50 minutes to download again and another 50 to install.

For those getting the 80029546 error. Delete the game and re download. Make sure to not download in background.

I was wondering why people said background downloads were the cause of the error since I got none... But then I figured my background download was paused at 59% at the same time as I had the full game installed, my ps3 basically started a new download automatically overnight, thank goodness

Redownload done, now installing....

I think this issue has something to do with automatic downloads, I think it downloaded the Atomic Blimp overnight and then decided to corrupt the installed file and the first redownload of the game,

Whoa, hang on, there's actually a preload after all? I can't find it anywhere.

 

[D4Danger]

My friend would like to buy this at a retail store in the UK tomorrow. What do you think will be his best bet in terms of just walking in and painlessly picking up a copy? A supermarket?

probably, yeah. They usually have a ton of stock if you go earlyish.

 

[flipswitch]

Wow, GTA 4 was 1024x640 I think on PS3, amazing what they can coax out of current gen.

With QQ AA aka blur filter. MP3 were both 720p from memory.
