I'm I the only one that thinks rockstar would have made a killing by letting people who pre ordered the collector's edition to pay the game 1 day earlier?

Do you know why it's such a great trailer?
It doesn't play the game for us.
It tells us just enough of the story to know what's going on.
It doesn't assume we know anything about the game, but doesn't try to explain everything.
It has a very up-beat song that none of us has ever heard before, but can easily hum to.
Contrary to the music, the actions taking place are all pretty devious, and dark.
Timing.all of the transitions were timed perfectly, not just to the music, but to the pacing of the trailer.
Nothing is finished. We don't see how the MC lands after jumping out of a Helicopter. We don't see how the bank heist goes. so the trailer leaves us wanting more.
Also, it's GTA. I mean hype would pretty much make Chop's turds into GOATs.

Probably OG Loc, he was hilarious.

Donald was also in Vice City.
Mine is Claude Speed.
Not only is he awesome, mute, and a part of/ enemies with every gang out there, but he also killed what's-her-face in the end. I smiled so big. Only GTA I truly loved the ending to.
He's Gangsta!

Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez.
Also, the line "A few weeks ago, I was happily sulking by my swimming pool..." gets me every time, even if it is a cut.

It's £42.85 at Shopto. Only £34.99 at Amazon.

Went stupid, 360 collectors edition just for the dlc extras. Considered PS3 for GTA Online once I let my gold account lapse, but too many friends will be on 360. Guess I can buy some cards to keep gold going until I can (hopefully) double dip for a PS4 GTA Online.
Edit: Also, GAF Street joined!
The chance of early arrival really swayed me.

Either Mike Toreno from San Andreas or Bruice/Mori Kibbutz in GTA IV and Gay Tony.
I wonder what happened to him after he disappeared in GTA 3.
I was actually hoping that would be answered in GTA IV. Never was.

I love all the characters.
And more importantly, it's not like other GTA games where the protag is pulled in against their wishes. These guys actually want to re-live the good old days, and rob banks and shit. Though Franklin, I don't exactly know what his reasons are, but his Homies make up for it.
Has to be The Truth.

Good fucking GOD, the detail on the face.
The expressions & subtle motions.
Makes all the high res PC screenshot threads of Crysis & Metro look like low polygon flat textures with no lighting.

My favorite as well. Who else would give you a gold plated Buzzard? No one.

Catalina from San Andreas. All my Saints Row's characters have been female Latinos, just out of respect.

Steve Scott. Film Director in Vice City.
" So, the giant shark comes in there and just bites their dicks off!"
He was in Vice City also as Avery Carrington's protege.
Tough for me to choose only one. I'll say either Donald Love, Tony Prince or Vercetti.

I dunno if I'd go that far, but, yeah they're pretty good.

Probably The Truth. Little Jacob and Badman were pretty rad too. Man, Jacob was a real bro.

Its unlikely. Rockstar requested that all retailers don't ship til the 16th and ShopTo have said they aim to get them to customers for the 17th.

So I haven't kept up with the soundtrack, but Kavinsky ended up being bullshit right? 
That would have been my dream station.

Vice city stories is my favorite lol.... i hate to say it but its better than VC itself. Being part of a zombie movie in the north point mall. And controlling a robot from outside a guys house to rob a safe. Jet skis, an even better soundtrack
Also phil fucking collins

My favorites:
Zero and The Truth. Very close tie between them. Zero being voiced by David Cross may be the deal-breaker.
