So, I'm not seeing anywhere how to preload GTA V on PSN. I woke up at 3am to try it and it just kept downloading the preorder theme.

 

[scarlet]

2 hours actually.

that's better

 

[Wind's Howling]

One of my favourite films. I take that as a compliment. Now... do I give you the ass or the crotch?

If that is a question of etiquette.. I.. am not gonna answer that.

 

[Cheddahz]

So I ordered my copy of GTAV before a day before the offer ended on the MS Store and I didn't get a code for the free MS Points....

 

[Gaz_RB]

OK if we talk now about console comparison i might aswell post this here now too.

t's the 17th somewhere! Thanks for the shots

 

[waypoetic]

No hair for 360.


PS3 version is best CONFIRMED.

Bald-Franklin is because the dude playing chose that hairstyle.

 

[AEREC]

Haha this hype is so weird. Everybody collectively forgot about GTAIV and all of a sudden wants to believe.

Would be interesting to analyze the cobtributing factors.

The majority of people enjoyed GTA IV. Myself included...its one of my favorite games this gen.

Did you really just take the bait?

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

I wish my post would arrive so I can be disappointed and start another 24 hour waiting process.

 

[Garibaldi]

Got word from home that the post came and it's not here.

Oh well, I can go to the gym now. Normally go on Tuesdays but am going to swap it lol.

DAMN YOU, ROYAL MAIL.

If it doesn't come tomorrow, and that is a very real possibility, I am going to be rather displeased.

You and me both Mike. I just got a text to tell me the post has arrived. All that was in for me was the cable ties I ordered last week. Bloody cable ties! If it doesn't come tomorrow (ordered from GMG, regretting it now), I'm going straight to asda and picking it up after work.

A friend of mine got the 360 version early and has been complaining about it freezing.

There is no preload in the US unfortunately. Try again at 12 am EST.

If you're in the EU, you should take a look in your download list.

PS3 version is best CONFIRMED.

The Xbox version is catering for the Bald Space Marines userbase.

 

[Cheddahz]

and they gave me Ground shipping, not Overnight shipping...I'm not happy right now

 

[Gaz_RB]

I swear I'm gonna be the first one to post punch.gif in this damn OT, so help me...

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

PS3:

XBOX360:

The PS3 version looks to have slightly less jaggies.

And the 360 version is missing some bushes! O_O

I'm in the US. I read that Rockstar themselves said Monday, 3am, for US. Did they just cancel it or something?

Shhhhh you'll awaken Dennis.

1. Buy a copy from the store.

2. Return using copy from online retailer.

 

[Cheddahz]

I don't have the money to do that right now. I'm going to contact support so I can at least just get my free money like I was told I was going to get

 

[Slackbladder]

Still says dispatching now for me via Amazon UK. I think as long as it leaves brfore 6pm I should be fine for tomorrow. But I am getting a copy for my brother from Tesco tonight. Amazon only allows one copy per customer (of same platform; might be able to buy a PS3 and a 360 version but not 2 PS3 versions).

Hah, gutted. Amazon Prime has been getting less and less reliable for me. Two things, including one I needed quite badly, didn't arrive in time (one got lost in transit and was almost a week late) so I initiated customer services chat and they gave me two free months.

Now something else hasn't come and if GTA doesn't come, there'll be hell to pay! I can't grumble yet as it's not officially out.

It does seem to me that it only happens with they use Royal Mail. Whenever they use UPS/TNT/etc, it's fine.

Fuck, no way!?

Ahhh. Sucks, man.

 

[Banzai]

Well damn. Hermes decided to bring my game to their hq somewhere far away because i wasnt there to accept the package. now ill have to wait two days before theyll try again. which still wont do anything because im just not home at those times.

goddamit just bring the package to our local post office like every other delivery service hermes.

 

[ekim]

Pretty much every shop in Germany is now selling the game already. So much for the Day1 sales record.

 

[Zok310]

I bought gta4 with day one delivery it didn't arrive until 6pm that evening never again straight to the stores for me.

Between the PSN and the mail, retail is actually the best way to get big games like this on day 1.

 

[Cheddahz]

Ahhh. Sucks, man.

Nevermind, I just checked on UPS and it is Next Day shipping

Yeah, mine's still dispatching soon, too. I'm hitting F5 like a madman.

Where, in the alley? Look again.

Amazon Prime ships via the shadiest company ever... Prestige. Thank god mine is being
shipped via UPS.

What, really? That's a steal!

 

[Cheddahz]

For anyone who ordered off the MS Store and has had their copy shipped right now, have you gotten the code yet?

Lol

Thank you Microsoft for saying it was Ground shipping on your site...

 

[hausaffe]

50€?? i paid 70€ for the fucking standard edition...

Damn.

I haven't thought of that. I go on Tuesdays as well, I better go today and have the entire evening just for GTA tomorrow. I feel like an idiot now.

 

[matrix-cat]

Does anyone know what the PS3 trigger situation is yet? Can you set the control layout to have accelerate and brake on L2 and R2 but aim and shoot with L1 and R1?

 

[sun-drop]

Inline with about 250 people here in the cbd wellington nz. Game is out but this queue is gonna take a while to clear..

 

[nib95]

tommorow will be fun

Perfect timing! Woo! Will base my decision off the H2H.

 

[ekim]

Perfect timing! Woo!

Which timezone are they in? BST?

 

[NekoFever]

Which timezone are they in? BST?

Yeah. It's about 22 hours from now.

 

[Dries]

Uhm... WTF, we're posting screens now? I haven't got the game yet, I do consider this a spoiler...... I don't want to see anything yet.. With the comparison vid you have a choice of playing it, but screens are BAM in your face... Come on, guys.

 

[nib95]

Which timezone are they in? BST?

UK GMT. I just assumed they meant 11am UK time as for some reason I have Eurogamer down as British subconsciously.

 

[TrekMonster7]

Stop being so melodramatic

For those of you who have played it, are we able to go in more buildings than previous games? What level of detail do they have?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I'm in the US. I read that Rockstar themselves said Monday, 3am, for US. Did they just cancel it or something?

Supposedly it was a mistake or something.

Frustrating but what can you do. I really hope 12 am est is correct now. If not, well whatever. As long as I can wake up tomorrow, very early, and play.

 

[Wind's Howling]

I kind of agree. We have been without in-game screenshots posting for a while now in this thread. Can we really not hold on for oné more day?

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

I do consider this a spoiler......

What has been spoilt? That Franklin has the ability to stand in a street? Although I agree, they should be links just to be on the safe side.
