If you pre order before Feb 1st you get $1,000,000 in game currency plus an extra $300k and GTASA.

So if you don't pre order, you don't get it.

Just a scam to get money off people before any reviews etc - the game could run like a dog but don't worry 1000's of people have already paid for it so release the game and we will give them a patch in the next 3 months.

I'll wait for some gameplay reviews before I ***** any money on it.

If you want gameplay reviews, use Google, the game has been out for over a year...

Sure, the game could run badly, but Rockstar's last game ran smoothly, and they've spent a lot of time on GTAV PC.

Pre-ordering GTAV PC isn't a wild stab in the dark like most other games, it's pretty much proven itself already.

Just figured that ordering GTA V through greenmangaming gives me the most value @ £30.90, moreso than getting it through work with my discount because; it would include $300K more for the online, which is worth around a fiver itself; it includes a Steam copy of San Andreas too.

Just a heads-up for anyone interested, I used a 23% off promo they're running at the moment which was delivered to my e-mail but when visiting the website it did promt me to collect a 23% off code anyway. So, the offer should be open to all.

So Google has PC Gameplay reviews? That's impressive.

I don't want to know how it runs on a PS3/4. I want to know how it runs on a 144hz monitor, how it works with DSR, what features kill the fps, best settings fro draw distance, how well it can hold 60fps using certain settings.

I would like to know these things so that I don't waste £40 on a game that may be buggy as hell months after release.

Sorry for wanting the best for my hard earned money.

It may well be a perfect pc game, solid as a rock, but until I see a review showing that then I will keep my money in the bank regardless of whatever pre order giveaways they do.

Greenmangaming has crappy reviews. I was going to order the physical version but want to play it straight away so I'mm going digital.

Don't really trust GMG so will go with CDKEYS.

Thanks for the hint, just bought.

pre order scams never understood why anyone would pre-order a digital download that isn't in limited supply, but each to their own.

I just want to mod the game and run through the story again as it's been over a year

Trust?

They are an official Steam/Origin etc vendor?

Sometimes I think their website is hamster powered as it struggles under load on release days but I would definitely trust them more than 'dodgy' key sites that get their keys by opening boxes from cheaper regions etc

GMG are an official retailer for all the big names, I wouldn't trust a single one of these CD key websites over GMG

I didn't know that.

I was looking at the review sites and CDKEYS has excellent reviews.

Edit: Never mind, it looks like that review site is not right.

I should have researched properly. Here's reviews from trustpilot

https://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.greenmangaming.com

Looks like I'll order from the cheaper site GMG.

TwsT · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:30

never had any problems with cjs cd keys and you usually get pre-order bonuses from them.

Wah007 · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:51

Just pre-ordered from GMG and they provided the key already. Odd.

Disco_P · 19 Jan 2015 at 22:10

What program is the key for?

mrk · 19 Jan 2015 at 22:22

I have £8 GMG credit, hmm brb.

Jarrastafari · 19 Jan 2015 at 23:08

The key is for GTA San Andreas (Steam) which is included free in the pre-order.

Wah007 · 19 Jan 2015 at 23:15

Yeah the key is for San Andreas on steam. That wasn't mentioned at check out, it was mentioned in the email that it's for San Andreas.

We had a Special Reserve store in Chelmsford years ago I remember a friend recommending it because games were always a few quid cheaper then other retailers.

Loved Special reserve.

Originally used to get mail order Amiga games from them, couldn't believe my luck when they opened that store, it ended up being pretty big!

I used to spend ages in there just reading the back of boxes...I remember seeing F1 on the Playstation running on the little widescreen sony CRT they had and I swear I thought it was photorealistic.

Ironically it was probably about 320x240!

It's amazing how we were so impressed by graphics back then, no doubt we'll be saying the same in 10 years too. I remember when I first saw Gran Turismo on the Playstation (1) and thought it was simply beautiful!

I went back to Gran Turismo for nostaligia purposes probably about 18 months ago. I don't even know how we managed to read the text on GT1. GT3/4 were still great though.
