Not entirely certain. I think its just the cover at 5pm then more info around 7pm. I am a little confused on this!

JohnMarston

Ah right. Would tomorrow GMT be even more realistic?

Anyone here having trouble with the iPad app?

When I go to buy an individual magazine from the app it says no purchase information available.

So I go to login to my GI account and it says I haven't a subscribed to the digital edition and I have to register for it. It gives a link.

When I follow the link it brings me back to the original registration page for GI.

Soo confusing :S

Problem is I don't want to subscribe to the digital edition, I just want to buy the magazine individually.

5pm and 8pm would be accurate guesses (5pm is a real time, 8pm is a guess).

I got word from The Powers That Be:

Do not post scans of the magazine or link to where you can see scans of the magazine. Posts will be deleted.

Other than that, we can still find and discuss as much of the info as we can. It's just the magazine pages that are the issue.

A fair few people saying the same. I think this is why the majority are sitting around with their eye patches and parrots. No one's planning on buying 12 months of magazines for a single issue.

And those who are paying over the odds every month for a printed magazine to their door in annual subscriptions are getting shafted by not getting the news first, and to add insult, getting fewer pages of information.

I don't know much about GI, but clearly they're pushing for people to opt for digital instead of printed goods. If I were a subscriber to their (printed) magazine, if this was the sort of carry on I'd to put up with I'd not be subscribing again, that's for sure.

I bought the 12 month subscription on my iPad. It was only €18 which isn't too bad for 12 editions, €1.50 for each one and now I don't have to go hunting for pirated scans.

When did you subscribe?

I thought I read that UK/Irish people can only do so via Gamestop, and it takes 48 hours to process?

Yesterday, through the iPad app, if you go through gamestop or even the GI website it takes 24-48 hrs but iPad is instant because it's Apple your paying the subscription fee to. I was able to download the current edition as soon as I subscribed.

I had a feeling this was going to happen

The long wait is over at last. With the December issue, Grand Theft Auto V fans can pore over every detail we could get about Rockstar Games' highly anticipated sequel. Over the course of 18 pages (our biggest cover story yet!), we introduce the three main protagonists, discuss the groundbreaking way you use them, and explore the reimagined Los Santos – the biggest open world Rockstar has created to date. The massive feature also divulges and dissects many more aspects of the game fans won't want to miss.

In addition to our GTA V blowout, Joe Juba interviews Will Wright and others to tell the oral history of Maxis (celebrating its 25th anniversary this year), and takes the new SimCity for a spin. We also devote six pages to exploring the islands of Far Cry 3, discuss the impact of Cliff Bleszinksi leaving Epic Games, and share our top gift picks in the 2012 holiday buying guide. Check out the full covers below

Question is: Three stories or one?

Looks like it, though he does look a bit younger than the trailer

Guy on the left of the cover looks like the quad bike sniper guy too

Apparently the way you use the 3 main characters will be 'groundbreaking'
