I've seen multiple answers, but I've heard almost 40gb, because it needs 18 to install, and another 18 for the installer packages and whatnot. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I saw this the other day.

Am I the only one who's sad we're not getting a final launch trailer? I figured the last TV one wouldn't count..

This game is pure bliss. PS3 version and loving it. Amazing visuals considering the dated hardware. Its going to be a long night and even a longer day tomorrow at work.
Nice job R*

Shiiiit, for the disc version?? I thought maybe 8 gig and the rest read of the Blu-ray.
Oh fuck.
It's going to be around 8/9 gigs. The 36 gig requirement is only for the PSN version.

What's the first thing you guys are gonna do in the game? I think I'm gonna go on a rampage as soon as possible, to try out the new shooting and driving mechanics. Will probably do it with Trevor.

I wanna do a non violent exploration, bikes, beach, scuba, golf, tennis, admire countryside, obey the traffic lights
make it all the more impactful when I emulate Heat

Damn all you people across the pond, damn time zones, damn damn damn!!!
Fuck that. I'm taking Michael to gangsta territory, Franklin to the racist Blaine County outlands, and Trevor to the financial district. Then I'm just going to punch people.

Try and get into the airport probably! After walking around the city. (I'll probably get lost and end up doing a ton of weird stuff, but airports the plan!)

As soon as the game gives me the freedom to do whatever I want I'm going to go on a bike ride, take my dog for a walk, and kill some cops. The perfect day. <3

Could it be that it's available for download at 12AM Eastern, but won't unlock until 3AM Eastern?
In one hour and fifteen minutes, I'm starting my walk into town to buy the game.
Thank you very much.
Does the 8/9 gigs need 18 gig free space due to the way it installs? Or am I installing 4gig worth hence the 8/9 gig space needed.
Sorry for what maybe a daft question.
I want to sort out space before the midnight madness.
Thanks again.

Did you put the ps3 in the dmz and run it from a wired connection?

This game gives me "Heat" vibes. Man, those (side activity spoiler)
missions are awesome!
Heist
No. Probably won't until sometime in the night, either.

If you're installing from the disc, you only need the 8gig. The double space is only for downloads, as it needs to store the full download file before it installs it. With the disc, you will install 8gig, and that's all the space you will need.

Why would the PSN version need 18 GB's to install if it's only 8 GB's to begin with? I know you usually need to double the amount of the download (on the PS3) and that's how much space you need to begin the process but people here are doubling that already doubled number. I find this confusing.

Yeah, I always wait a long time to do missions in open world games, and perhaps especially in GTA. For me, the real fun of Grand Theft Auto is exploring, finding obscure weapon stashes or vehicles, and just wreaking havoc.

Size of the digital version is 18gb.

I guess you need to download the whole game and not only the 8 GB mandatory install files? If you buy the disc version you have to install half of the game (8 GB) and the rest is streamed off the disc.

I'm in the UK and just done that and it says 1.00
I originally thought it would be 12.00am BST?
Anyone else think this?

It's wired. It's been fine all week and all my other devices are downloading fine. I guess PSN is simply being battered.

Do a few missions to unlock activities and characters, find a good place to stop, then just drive and do activities while listening to awesome music.

Sorry about the scare, I forgot to mention that it was for the digital version.
Glad it was sorted out quickly though, thanks fellow GAFfers.

Because the disc version runs off both the HDD and the Blu Ray drive, the PSN version will just run off the HDD, meaning it is 18GB to account for the fact the blu-ray isn't helping out.
Might just be showing European time?

Because there's no disc to stream certain things off of? Why wouldn't it be bigger?
It's a rite of passage in gta

Not sure if this is already answered, but - for those people from Australia and New Zealand (and other countries that already got GTA V) who preordered and preloaded it on PS3 - did you need to download some update before playing, or did the game just start, without any additional installs/updates?

I don't imagine anyone will be getting good download speeds from PSN tonight.
A quick and dirty one:
"Finally, you have the technical aspect, an area that had us all intrigued for months and months amid rumors of a PC or next-generation console version. Again, it is worthwhile to invoke the spirit of San Andreas and those 27 million units sold that took advantage of a strategic launch of the game just in time to assure the maximum amount of sales possible at the turn of a console generation. As a multiplatform title for PS3 and Xbox 360, GTA V is a technical marvel. For this analysis, we have played the PS3 version and the world looks and moves incredibly. Yes, it is true that it’s not the game with the smoothest frame rate that we have ever played, but equally the general consensus is amazement at how the game is pushing the (current generation) console hardware—and at no time does it feel any less than [a game being released at] the end of the current console generation. Special mention goes to the detail and motions of the animations and facial expressions that are even better than L.A. Noire, and as always, the awesome lighting work and art, capable of converting any screen capture of the game into a memorable and exciting postcard."
