Well for me I pre-ordered a few months ago. First, cause I love GTA, and second of all I needed to know I had it because anything can happened before launch.
It was a very good decision as there is no way I could afford it now, maybe not even for another 2 months yet.

Now imagine how awful it would be if people were going 'WOW, Incredible!, Rockstar is made up of Gods, THis game is ******* awesome! etc..
You'd be upset, because you don't have the game, you can't get the game and people are having fun while you sulk.

So pre-ordering GTA V was such a good decision for me, and whatever happens I will not regret it

And it will NOT run like GTA IV launch, I think 90% of us are fairly confident on that

Well, it's still a gamble... But I agree with you I am fairly confident it will be amazing.

Why on earth do you all care about the exact time the preload starts? You can't play it for a week anyway!

People can't wait to have the game files on their computer so they can get excited over them.

This...

The GTAV launch is starting to remind me of the egoraptor cartoon with the two dudebros getting Halo reach or whatever it was and then getting all super over-excited and jerking each other off over it... Everyone just needs to calm down already :rolleyes:

Maybe it's just for confirmation... Once the files have actually been downloaded, they can't delay it again!

This pretty much! Although they still could delay it I guess!

Not me as ill still be downloading it on the 14th

That's your own fault really isn't it? Should have just bought the retail box version which was cheaper anyway!

Retail Box version is not on steam
Retail Box version might take days to arrive.
Retail Box version requires a DVD drive.
Retail Box version is not the cheapest.
Retail Box version might still require a huge patch.
Retail Box version might not include any data at all!

Personally I will be getting the steam version and I won't get it until I know that the port isn't garbage.

197 pages for a game that doesn't exist yet. Wow.

I was literally about to post the exact same thing to the word. It's quite incredible.

I've just had a look on the GTA V Steam discussion boards, I left pretty quickly, what a mess that is

Mark A · 7 Apr 2015 at 12:39

It does exist and has for over a year...

V_R · 7 Apr 2015 at 12:41

74 pages.

Mine was £34.99 with 'guaranteed' release day delivery from Amazon. Steam version looks to be more expensive than that. I don't doubt there will be a patch but it wont be a 65gb patch?

The fact its cheaper to buy a physical box that has been printed, produced, packed, shipped around the world, shipped to a hub, delivered to a warehouse, resold, shipped back to a hub, shipped to a depot and then hand delivered to your house highlights how ridiculous the prices of digital distribution games really are.

So would I if I'd have found it for that price

NightSt@lk3r · 7 Apr 2015 at 12:46

I didn't pay anything for mine, it makes me feel dirty.

Neil79 · 7 Apr 2015 at 12:52

Ordered from nuuvem £20, using Hola

Does the key arrive straight away?

andy_mk3 · 7 Apr 2015 at 12:54

I technically didn't pay anything for mine either, I cashed my TCB balance to pay for it on Steam

British Gas bought mine for me

Daft question of the day - but how do you actually download/activate via Rockstar social?

UberGinge · 7 Apr 2015 at 13:14

I'm currently just grinding away on the PS4 ahead of the PC release. Hopefully the $1.2 M pre-order bonus still applies to transferred characters, that'd be sweet!

If it's for the Physical disc then it'll come with a code you would need to activate it, Not sure though not bought a PC game on disc for a few years now.
