Bronxsta Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I want dat theme. It's okay. I would have preferred the art with the trio walking away from the burning van or the gang in their exterminator outfits.

Showstopper 26 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hell yeah, preordered!! Now the real wait begins. September 18th, 3am (for us East Coast gamers) edit: how is GTA V only 15GBs!!! That's crazy. It's a massive open world game, TLOU was 26GB It's a typo. We'll be downloading it midnight on the 17th! But unfortunately, for the East Coast, a "midnight release" is still 3am. 3am?

Audiophile Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 @Showstopper 26 Yes. Because timezones. When it's 3 a.m. on the East Coast it's midnight on the West Coast. East is ahead by 3 hours. I was expecting that but I remember when I got AC3 and MLB 13 digital my downloads all unlocked at midnight my time instead of midnight PST. But meh.

Rebel Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 That's awesome. But its a shame that you cannot pre load the game ready for the midnight launch. That would be so much better, I'd so go for this, but It takes me roughly 6-9 hours to download a 10GB game. So it would be technically easier for me to just wait for it to come in the post. However, if it doesn't arrive on the 17th through my door, then I shall pay out any money and start downloading it from the PSN Store. At least then, I'll be playing it before my game arrives on the 18th (if it doesn't arrive on release day) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/560193-gta-v-confirmed-as-digital/page/6/#findComment-1063009006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazloisdavrock Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 This would be a good deal if you could Pre Load.... its quicker to just go to the store.

PHOENIXZERO Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've recently been thinking about adding a SSD to my PS3 so I wonder if textures and everything would load even faster if you had the digital copy on a SSD. I have the CE on pre-order and I don't plan on cancelling. I guess I can see if there is a lot of texture popping like on Skyrim or RAGE and get the digital version if there is a problem. In a game this big, I could see textures and maybe draw distance being impacted by digital vs physical. I would imagine the DLC code from the CE will likely work with either. Hmmm . . . It's really not worth it, very few games take significant advantage of it and some even load slower with it. You also won't get anywhere near the SSD's potential speed due the PS3 using SATA I and besides that, the console wasn't made with SSDs in mind. If you want a faster HDD look for a hybrid drive or just a 7200RPM one which can shave off a few seconds and maybe stream a bit faster.

cholesterol Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Microsoft will most likely not have it day one digitally. They are really lazy in that department. It's one of things I hate about Xbox. The soonest I've ever seen a game released on "games on demand" was about 3-6 months after it's release in stores. Anyway, I'll probably wait a few months for V anyway and buy a copy from ebay. Not that I don't care about V, I'm just always strapped for cash.

fitbikesbmx Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Why on earth would people download? You won't get to hold it in your hands and be able to smell that fresh game smell, admiring the artwork and booklets included inside. What is wrong with people? Oh thats right, people got fat and lazy. I bet you walk to McDonald's pretty fine though. Time to get out of mommy's basement and see the real world. When I buy games, I have them delivered to my house. Not much difference from downloading really. I'd much rather be able to come home after a hard days work and not have to go out to the store and pick up the game. That way I can shower while it's installing on my Ps3 and when I'm done, it'll be ready to go. Guess the real world changes after you grow up.

Above Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) My choice depends on the PSN price. It's nice to have the physical copy and all but the truth is that I have never used the included map and manual, and the physical disc does nothing but add background noise and inconvenience. Still, a new GTA game is something special, but the 75% discount on another Rockstar title is also tempting. Dilemma incoming...

It's ok my mail/ups gets here pretty early. I figure the SONY servers are going to be real S L O W on the 17th anyways.

Audiophile Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 The SE and CE in-game stuff will probably be DLC in the future. I wouldn't expect it shortly after release, though. As for the 75% I do believe that applies to current R* titles already on PSN and it's for a limited time.
