OliRow Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Has the blimp been listed as a pre-order bonus anywhere except Rockstar's website? I can't see it on any UK website, and I was planning on pre-ordering from GAME this week but I really want to be able to fly in the blimp. Do you guys think it will be added to other stores or do you think it'll be a Rockstar Warehouse exclusive? If it's exclusive to Rockstar do you think it will eventually be put up on the Xbox Live Marketplace/PSN store? Sorry if this has already been brought up.

Paper Mario Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I dunno. It's probably just a special skin for a blimp. There might just be normal ones in the game so don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carloff1212 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Anyone who preorders it anywhere either before today, today, or after today will get it. As long as you preorder it and don't just go buy the game without having had preordered it, you will get this bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be true, didn't think of it like that. It may be best to still pre-order though. But about the other things you asked I have no idea. But you've got until the release day to pre0order and maybe we will get more and clearer info about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinterj Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 R* say it's wherever you pre-order so maybe it's a code in the game case. Also I very much assume you can fly a blimp in the game anyway. This is just either a skin or another blimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't think it is exclusive to Rockstar Warehouse, as it says on the site that any pre-order will receive it, even if already made. It also gives you different retailers when you choose your territory at the top; so it would have to say *Rockstar Warehouse only by that if it was indeed exclusive to certain stores.

The__Phoenix Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 do you think it'll be a Rockstar Warehouse exclusive? Not at all. The blimp will come with any pre-order. No matter where you make your pre order, you will get your blimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakeney Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It'll work like every other pre-order bonus ever.. and even if you walk in the store and buy it "day one" aka the first "batch" of boxes, it will have the little slip with the code on. I guess with V it will be like SA, and that "first batch" will actually only be had by people that pre-order, due to the fact that A LOT of people pre order it.

If there was a preorder bonus in the Max Payne 3 box, you could probably still get it because the first batch of 3 million copies never completely sold through (unless it has by now, I haven't checked lately). Of course GTA V will sell out, it's only a question of how fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upyoustolemylungs Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I still don't understand...so if I don't pre order, there is no blimp...at all? I mean, yeah I guess it will come on DLC later, but that's some bullsh*t to ADVERTISE IT in every trailer and screenshot and then be like..."nah jk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Hellraiser Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Who wants to drive a blimp, there slow as f*ck This had made me think "Why would Rockstar put a Blimp in a game? Wouldn't it be quite boring?" Obviously, Rockstar has a lot of faith in their newly created Southern California setting. The Blimp is big, slow, and otherwise not much fun to pilot. The only thing it really has going for it is the view. Rockstar has so much faith in their new world, that even flying a Blimp at 30 mph will be a wonderful ride, worth hours of gameplay, simply for the reason of gazing at the wonderful, detailed landscape they have created. That is probably the underlying message in making a Blimp the big bonus for preordring. That they know that when you are in the highly detailed, lively, open world of San Andreas, even sitting in a huge, lumbering, oversized balloon can't be boring.

Correction the Atomic Blimp is what you get access to. This doesn't mean there isn't another blimp in the game or that this isn't a skin. Chances are there will be one in the game anyway so maybe there is two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
