    I can't take Tuesday off but I can take Wednesday. That means I will have a long day Tuesday pretending the game hasn't been released yet until I get home.

    It says after you buy it.

    The game will start downloading on the 13th and the preorder blimp and theme will download on the 16th.

    It does it automatically but you're usually able to download it manually before that.

    cheers man, do we get any pre order extras like the ones gamestop etc. give you, or is that what you mean with pre order blimp?

    I was just going to order this off Gamestop online but when I put my delivery details and pick shipping/payment methods I go to Proceed but nothing happens. The page doesnt reload, fail or anything, it just does nothing. Anyone else have this problem?

    I guess i'll just order it with Gamesnash instead if it doesnt work

    For those who received the email from GameStop yesterday requesting that necessary funds be in their account by the 10th, I emailed their customer service and got this swift reply:



    I thought that was the case alright, no harm in checking to make sure though.

    Did you just order off the website ? . I got a payment confirmation email in July for it but they said the same as above , they dont charge till it ships

    1 whole hour to drive around the coast and people are saying its to small??

    The actual city part, rather than the entire map. I was not expecting so much outside the city.

    We're still ok actually (and to be honest am a bit surprised by that :D) We got a bit more stock allocated to us than we had originally expected so we've a few more days left I'd say - might even have stock available for general sale on Tuesday but that remains to be seen. I'm still advising people to pre order to make sure.

    Yes I bought off their website, but I was charged immediately because I used my debit card.

    They are only taking payment at time of shipping for orders made with credit cards like MasterCard, Visa or if you used PayPal.

    Ahhh 7 days left :P

    I am shocked to see it hasnt hit the net. But also glad it hasnt. But any hour from now surely. As even someone said that GTA4 hit 5 days before hand.

    So a Visa Debt card would have got charged straight away ? :)

    Mod: Okay, I've moved discussion about the map size to a new separate thread. Again, because it's coming from unofficial sources and screens, it's technically a spoiler. Please keep discussion of it to that new thread. Thanks.

    I ordered a super slim ps3 on eBay for €83 this morning. My launch PS3 sounds like a jumbo jet and messages keep popping up telling me to turn off the console to let it cool. No f*cking chance I was putting GTA into it!

    Yes, I used a Visa Debit card and got charged straight away :-)

    You can always double-check your bank statement if you still have doubts (simple enough if you have internet banking).

    €83? wow thats cheap.
    Brand new or second hand (has to be second hand for that price right?)

    Brilliant news!!! :D

    Game just got back to me regarding the collectors edition, confirming that I only had to pay another £21.48 on it instead of 120! :D

    That means I'll be getting it for around €50 instead of 140, absolutely delighted! ...although I can't understand how?

    Yes, used. 4 months old according to the seller (who has good feedback and sold electronics in the past, so I trust him). Comes with FIFA 13 and Batman Arkham City as well. I bought one with a 12GB HDD as I have a compatible 500GB drive here I can stick into it. Just need to get one of the mounting things from Argos for €13!

    Much better PS3 deals on eBay UK using Parcel Motel.

    Oh I know, couldn't believe it myself when I checked my account the other day, but emailed them and they confirmed it. Obviously a huge mistake on their part but absolutely delighted! :D

    I guess there is karma in the world after all ;)

    Ya I've preordered it, only an extra 15 euro on the standard edition in Gamestop so worth it. Rockstar can feel free to take my money.

    There is nothing in Dundalk that is more important than GTAV :)

    What you doing up there Paddy?

    Just went in and upgraded my preorder to the one with the steelbook, then paid off whatever was left outstanding to pay so I don't have to wait around monday nite, altough he did tell me the install is about 8GB and that may take a while...

    To answer your question I would think so but they'll only have a limited number of them I'd imagine so best do it as quick as you can!
