Jup they can't just say they have it.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Yea same here. I stepped on the little blutooth one I bought a few years ago and haven't bothered replacing it.
You won't break my heart again!
I won't trust you!
But he's got someone on the inside!
Yeah, with how carefully controlled Rockstar's PR is with managing their games, I guess it wouldn't be shocking.

A friend has just replaced a laptop he had stolen months ago, he's now expecting me to play DayZ and Wasteland every night. I might accidentally nudge a drink with my elbow when he's not looking.
So, I live in Argentina where games take a while to get around. I already have it ordered, and it's supposed to be delivered on the last week of September, along with PES 2014 (and I'm getting Beyond: Two Souls in October). On an impulse, I just pre-ordered it on the PSN so I can download it on that very same day. I think I might be going crazy.
Other than the site being down, I don't think I ever on purpose had a No GAF Day...sounds horrible

So I just saw a transcript about GTA V and
totally sucks that all the main characters except for
people not at the
hoping to see somebody survive.
Either way, I'm going to learn this map probably better than my home town.
strangely enough it was completely false. But you know that movie 300? It
the
battle die near the end, I was really

Yep it's a big achievement as other games leaks early even halo 4 leaked like a month before.
Dude just use spoiler on everything except the "So I just saw a transcript about GTA V"

Buckethead, great OP. Thanks for all your effort!
I'm tempted to go for the 500gb PS3 bundle. I've got a full BC 60gb and am afraid of it dying (and it has a tiny HDD). What version of the PS3 is it? Is it more / less reliable than the launch units? $270, though -- my wife would killllll me.

Some stores even got it already but Rockstar asked everyone to hold it if not they will get heavy fines

Sorry, it has nothing to do with GTA V, I guess people might be a little on edge for any jokes.

Rockstar isn't too fond of Ray after Vice City, so I highly doubt that.
No, keep it up. Dane Cook's got nothing on you!
Hahaha, I see what you did there atleast.
Haha GTAV is too serious for spoiler jokes homie.
No but you just said I read a transcript of gta v and then some people will know how the movie end etc I kno a bit crazy but better be safe then sorry ;p

Those were fun, it was a nice escape from the storyline and fun as hell too!
Awesome OT Buckethead. As with most of the big name releases, I won't be participating much in the OT thread once I get the game. Once the honeymoon ends, it tends to get too snarky for my tastes.
I would ask that before any of us go off the deep end one way or another, consider a few factors when playing GTAV.
1. We know the media, particularly the games media is going to fluff the shit out of this game, even writers we respect. Take the overblown praise with a grain of salt.
2. Likewise, be ready for the know it all cynics who will dump shitloads of hate on GTAV and praise Sleeping Dogs, SRIII or IV Just Cause 2 or whatever sandbox game as the best ever, or just point to GTAV as another high profile AAA release as boring tripe that can't compare to some sacred PC game released in 1999. Why these people even bothered with GTAV when they knew and we knew they'd hate it, I'll never know.
3. There will be shit in GTAV that has been in the series for years that some other game does better, or Rockstar still hasn't fixed since the PS2 days. Floaty driving, gunplay, annoying race and chase missions, there will probably be some facet.
4. I'd recommend as much of a blackout as possible, experience the thing as uninformed and uninfluenced as possible. This worked for me with RDR (though I still found out about the climax even though I never read directly what happened). I'm looking forward going through this bad boy with fresh eyes.
I'm not saying that everyone has to like GTAV or won't find another game better, but it doesn't take long for the tide to turn of games like these.

I gotta wonder if there is something insane that they don't want people to know about.
you bet that
when the first reviews hit oh boy.. and even if some people already got the gameastroturfing

Rockstar has told online retailers in Europe that they aren't allowed to ship copies before the 16th. And i'd imagine that goes for retailers in the US as well. So they're trying to keep it locked down more than any other game that i've seen before.

yeah, it's still impressive to me though how some guy working at gamestop or whatever hasn't already got it in his hands. even if its not in gamesstop stores yet its gotta be out there somewhere.

Well Shopto is shipping on the 14th as you can see in a picture posted somewhere earlier in this thread.
I also thought they only requested it, it's not like they are not allowing it right?
