GTA V Confirmed as Digital!


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else checked the PSN US store? If you select gtav under the day one digital it still says that we can download at 12:01am pacific time not eastern. Shouldn't they have changed it by now?

I'm starting to think I won't be able to download until 3am :(

 

Wow, really?

 

Whatever. If it's not at midnight EST tonight I'm gonna download it first thing tomorrow morning, then when I come back from school I'll install it - do my homework while it's installing and play after it's done. :evilgrin:

Does anyone know? This is crazy. You'd think Sony or Rockstar would provide a definite answer. Most anticipated game of the year, and I'd like to know if I can set it download and install before I go to sleep or if I'll have to wait tomorrow morning for a hour or two before playing

Why is there so much f*cking confusion? I was expecting my physical copy today but the store owner somehow managed to f*ck that up.

 

Decided to boot up the psn store to preload the digital copy instead and now im reading that preloading isn't available..

Still says midnight pacific!! I guess this isn't a big deal to most people but I doubt I'll get a chance to play it for the rest of the week :( If I could just play it for an hour or 2 I'll be fine and can wait till the weekend to really dive into it.

Come on Sony! Pull through!

That sucks man.

 

 

Not sure how Sony is going to handle that kind of traffic at midnight, the psn download speeds are slow as it is.

 

True... My internet has been acting pretty fast lately. I was able to download red dead in less than an hour so I figured 2 hours to download GTA V + 1 hour install and maybe play a little at 3am? But like you said with everybody downloading I doubt that would be the case.

From Sony's Twitter:

PlayStation @PlayStation 13 Sep

Lets hope that is right

Is there a reason for them not giving us the ability to preload? Was it because of the "leak"?

 

I heard that EU was able to preload already with no problems, so why do we get the shaft?

Yeah, differnt regions get differnt priviledges. Typically EU and Japan get all the really good stuff like this. Pre-Loading is not a feature we get on US (at least right now).

 

At least we get the day 1 digital though, Xbox cant download untill at least 1 full day after.

People on reddit are saying the psn version has the pop in problem

I did this to my ps3 so hopefully I won't have any problems

Only took a few minutes

Any luck in the US? Mine is really weird. The price or option to purchase the game completely disappeared yet it still shows overview, avatars and videos in the store menu.

Same thing. I think it just automatically removed the preorder option since it is the 17th. This sucks.

 

Well im off to sleep for a few hours, see you all at 3AM I guess... :facedesk:

Seems people are having the same issues here as well.

Well we'll get it eventually...

 

EDIT: Here's a reddit post of people with the same problem

EDIT 2: GOT IT!! OMG!! ITS WORKING!!

Edited by synthman002

I got the disc, but wanted to get the digital copy so I could put it on a friend's PS3...and looks like it can't be done yet? No complaints here as I got the disc, but the friend is practically pissin' himself with anticipation. Can't blame him!

 

From the confusing messages, it looks like it'll be available at 3pm Eastern, midnight specific...err, Pacfic! I mean...Pacific! AHH! I just inserted the disc and am watching it load. Freakin hands are shaking!! Picard, out.
