Ill sell my rockstar account then. Problem solved. xD

I doubt you'd need to go that far. If enough people get burned, people will work around it like everything else. I'd just be cautious when it comes to GTA and Rockstar

I know. Rockstar hates PC so they will try to stop piracy.

I don't think that's true, I just think they don't know how to deal with it. I think hooking the game up to Steam Workshop would curb the issue better than extra DRM hurdles

Isn't that why GTA IV PC got delay? Piracy?

 

[Revengineer]

Fuck nvm found how to redeem key

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

How do you activate that code? Doesn't work on Steam...

They are not steam codes......

 

[Revengineer]

I know. I am not a smart boy.

Probably. Rockstar have delayed the PC version of every GTA game on PC since 3 that I can remember.

 

[FullMetalx117]

works and downloading now

 

[HowZatOZ]

$37 here in Australia. Yes please.

 

[Compsiox]

works and downloading now

We have another!

 

[Megasoum]

Third's time the charm! Downloading the game on a third platform right now! lol

 

[funo]

Worked exactly as described by op, thx!

I love how the download bar is just super random and started at 1/3 already


Here's hoping the keys won't be revoked/locked some time soon!

no problem

 

[LonelyVagrant]

I figured I should post in here and say that, after a bit of trouble at first with Hola, I managed to purchase and use the code successfully. I'm downloading it now as I type this. The download speed is fluctuating a bit. I'm guessing that's just from a lot of people pre-loading right now.

 

[finalflame]

This is it, guys. Went ahead and bought it. I'm a Brazilian citizen living outside Brazil anyways..so it's not THAT wrong.

 

[KnightHart]

I just got my tax return. This comes out to $35 CAD. God fucking damn it am I really buying this a 3RD TIME

If anything does happen on launch day...it's not my fault. If a VPN is in use question use.

That's my disclaimer. Enjoy!

 

[wilflare]

this is not a Steam code right?

 

[Damerman]

smh, what is wrong with us?

 

[Compsiox]

eyes. how do they work.

Spoiler

no

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

What a world we live in today. Thank you OP. Makes buying this game for a third time acceptable!

 

[Komo]

Gonna wait after launch until I grab this

Although, I really wanted physical.

That's Mr.OP to you. You're welcome.

I consider a port of a game released in 2013 priced at $60 to be wrong. Not to mention it is either this vpn way or wait for a steam sale, either way I'm not paying $60 yet again.

 

[Compsiox]

Done installing. When I tried to play a pic of Obama laughing at screaming children popped up.

Steam: 560:-
GMG: 400:-
Nuuvem: 250:-

I tend to feel a wee bit guilty when considering buying from Nuuvem. It just feels unfair in a bunch of ways. It's unreasonably less than you'd expect to pay for a new game (the middle one^^). There's no way for more local sellers to compete with those prices. And said prices are meant for people who live in a specific region. Basically it's the type of thing a rich asshole would do.

That said, wouldn't feel bad for Rockstar at all. They can go fuck themselves for charging 560:-
If the DRM is deemed to be unshitty I'll get it from one place or another depending on how moral I'm feeling.

My Xbox 360 blew up after playing GTA V for 10 minutes. I returned the game to gamestop the next day for $40. I've been waiting to play since then. I deserve this.

 

[Nyteshade517]

tried getting this to work through Hola but couldn't get anywhere with it...oh well

I don't wanna jump through too many hoops to get this to work so I'll just pass for now

You tried trouble shooting?

 

[Nyteshade517]

You tried trouble shooting?

yeah..I did...still didn't work

I'm not too worried about it...was worth a try

 

[SlickVic]

Wow and MK X is the same price as well. Very tempting.

 

[Compsiox]

The VPN software is really easy to figure out. Suit yourself.

 

[mhayze]

Given that there's different pricing in different regions anyways, what are the chances that there is not going to be a region lock in place?

 

[Kvik]

Let me guess, you're getting 404 Error when you tries to log in? Now, assuming Hola works fine from your domicile:

- Add GTA to your cart
- Disconnect from Hola
- Log in normally
- Reconnect Hola
- Make sure GTAV is still in the Cart
- Check out

Tried and tested, by yours truly, 10 minutes ago.

I went by the steps and it would never add the game to my carl..so obviously there's something I'm missing from doing the steps it says

 

[hitgirl]

Was going to get it on steam. But for this price I cannot refuse.

 

[RyudBoy]

Keep getting 404 error through Hola. Oh well.

 

[Compsiox]

Keep getting 404 error through Hola. Oh well.

Obviously you don't really want it.

 

[Flandy]

I connected through Chile instead of Brazil and it worked

 

[XBP]

Am I the only one who finds this to be a shitty thing to do? There is a reason people outside of South America aren't supposed to get that price for this game.

 

[ThomasCro]

I bought mine already on direct2play.com, $45. I'm tempted to cancel and switch to this but they will send out keys any hour now and don't want to go through the refund 24hr hassle.

 

[Compsiox]

I don't think it is in my case.

 

[XBP]

I don't think it is in my case.

Why is that? (assuming you're not in South America).

My Xbox 360 blew up after playing GTA V for 10 minutes on launch day. I returned the game to gamestop the next day for $40 and my Xbox was officially dead. I've been waiting to play since then. I deserve this.

What? That makes absolutely zero sense. You deserve to cheat a website's system because your console blew up?

 

[Compsiox]

Nah. It's more about losing 20 bux to Gamestop for a game I got a day earlier.

 

[Kvik]

I went by the steps and it would never add the game to my carl..so obviously there's something I'm missing from doing the steps it says

Try this: instead of adding it from its main page, try running a search for "grand theft auto v" from the search box. Then, from the search results, click on the cart icon and see if that makes a difference.

Keep getting 404 error through Hola. Oh well.

Have you tried the steps I described above?

 

[Mr. Hyde]

That worked and I am downloading now. Thanks for the heads up! I have been trying to justify buying it right away and this worked out. I cannot believe I bought the game again.
