I'm surprised this ikea monkey thing is still ongoing, I thought the poor thing was already allowed to live like an animal, and not abused / used as a baby.

Fairly certain preloading is only for Europe because the North American PSN team is constantly scrambling around, desperately trying to get everything uploaded to the servers by the end of Tuesday.

That's what I thought.

But somehow they're saying it'll be available for download at 12:01am EDT (they say EST but they're too stupid to know the difference).

 

[Omlagus]

No pre-loading of GTAV for North America. But it will be available for download starting at midnight tonight (EDT) according to the blog.

also, to be clear, midnight tonight, Eastern Standard Time

 

[Lostconfused]

Oh well my mistake. Consoles need to get with the times already.

 

[Dyno]

Anyone hitting the shops at midnight? The Best Buy on Dundas is giving away t-shirts and money clips, though in some limited numbers.

I'll see if I'm still awake to walk over.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

anyone else under the weather or feel like they're going to be?

I think I got sick from waiting in line for two midnight madness films in a row.

I'm a bit under the weather. I feel better than I did a couple of days ago, though.

Both FS and BB tweeted there will be no money clips tonight. They both said there would be a $5 coupon instead.

Went out drinking on the weekend, got home and promptly woke up having flu-like symptoms.

It might just me doubling up on Advil/Tylenol but I don't feel that bad right now.

I'm lined up outside for GTA V. I'm too fucking old for this shit.

It's also very cold.

Better than being very hot. The stereotype about nerds never showering is sickeningly true.

Fuck that, I'm heading over to my EBGames at 11:40ish, fuck cold weather.

I forgot how the lowest form of humans come out to these things.

I filled up my quota of homophobic shit for the year with people here.

I can't wait until I get the hell out of here.

 

[Kave_Man]

Arrive in line at 11:54pm, leave with the game at 12:07am.

Feels good man.

Got out around the same time. Got home, ate something, now I'm ready.

[mr.rager]

There must've been a good 100+ people in line at my EB Games (Dixie Outlet Mall). Shit was ridiculously long.

 

[Kave_Man]

Holy crap at this installing. I just want to play!

 

[Avon Barksdale]

The GTA V hype is TOO real.

 

[Zombie James]

EB at Yorkdale was packed, could have been 200 people there by my shitty people counting skills. Their new location made getting in there a pain in the ass. Getting the game went smoothly, though, at least compared to the mess that was the GTA IV launch.

I'm going to add you but I'm not buying GTAV.

 

[terrible]

EB Games in Gerrard Square had two pretty long lines. I was surprised. I've only ever gone to midnight releases at Game Centre before though so maybe it's always that crazy at EB Games. Took about an hour for me to get my game

Huh you're close by me. I'm a 5 min walk away.

LOS SANTOS BURGER'S PRIEST! >=[

Edit: I didn't pick the game up as I'm waiting on a PC version

 

[zorbsie]

Went to the GTAV midnight release at Game Centre on Danforth. Surprised at how many people were there. So many "gangsters", kind of made me embarrassed to be there. Maybe I'm just too old for this stuff now.

Were you the oldest person there?

I picked mine up here in Thornhill so I was definitely not the oldest...but the older guys were with their kids.

 

[zorbsie]

I was not the oldest. There were a few older guys with their sons there. I'd say the majority were in their 20s.

 

[Kave_Man]

Think I'm gonna stay out of the official threads.

So much complaining about graphics. Shit looks fine to me.

 

[Kraftwerk]

I will have a beard next-meetup. Get ready for uber manliness Kave_Boy....

Does Harley want to cosplay you as Ra's Al Ghul?

Based on my experience last night on PSN, I think I'll be cancelling my next gen preorders. I can't deal with this shit anymore. They fuck up the simplest things such as time zones which should be painfully simple. It's also annoying that EU got to preload but not NA because Sony didn't want to impact the precious retailers (who can fuck themselves because the service they are providing is beyond simple). I'm not saying PC is superior or anything, but for me it is a better experience overall. Maybe in a few years time I'll pick up a console, but until then PC/3DS. Yea, I'm salty.

Consoles are best when they're in their golden years honestly. Tons of cheap games, reliable hardware etc.

Awww yeah my 3DSXL arrived in the mail today, time to figure it out! I also bought MH3.

We were supposed to make MH meet ups fairly somewhat semi regular...kinda...just been too busy to organize. And EM ran off.

[criesofthepast]

I don't know if old news or not but just saw on cp24 that Walmart, futureshop, best buy, and indigo are going to be offering same day shipping now? Order before noon and receive it by the evening. Wonder how much that'll cost...

Canada Post pilot program for 6 months Toronto only. More stores to come if it is a success I guess.

From the article:

At Future Shop and Best Buy Canada, products must be ordered before 11 a.m. to qualify for the service, which will cost $13.95.

At Indigo, customers need to place their online order by 12:30 p.m. to receive their package the same day. Pricing starts at $13.95 per order, or more for heavier packages, said Janet Eger, vice president, public relations for Indigo Books & Music Inc.

Also your link doesn't seem to work for me. :/

He's too busy getting good internet.

 

[BigJonsson]

lol, 13.95? I'd have to really want something bad

And also be in bed with 2 broken legs.

 

[Roto13]

Even I would go out to a Best Buy to buy something rather than spend $13.95.

With same day shipping now a thing, those console pre-orders better get delivered on the Fridays
