omawnakw Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just asked them if the DLCs coming along with SE and CE editions are compatible with PSN digital download and they confirmed.Not sure bout the GAME where I preordered or other retailers but it's good news for those who pre-ordered at Walmart because according the product descrition on theirs site they'll send the codes via email. You can pre order the SE/CE digital? Is the CE cheaper since you're not getting the physical stuff? No, that's about physical copy. I don't care about the price, digital download is just a noise cancelling solution to me, I hate the screaming BR's. Also I think some people who can't get theirs CE/SE copy on release day because of long delivery could use this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxsta Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So 75% off any Rockstar title... The only Rockstar games I don't already own on disk or haven't played are Manhunt and San Andreas. Which should I get? I'm slightly against getting SA, because I'll probably never touch it again once V comes out. Does Manhunt hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pre order the SE/CE digital? Is the CE cheaper since you're not getting the physical stuff? No. You can only pre-order the standard version digitally which gives you a theme right away and the Atomic Blimp pre-order bonus. R* just meant that if you have a code from the SE or CE physical version you can use it on the digital version; they are compatible. Which I thought was straightforward but it's nice to have that confirmation, I suppose. @Bronxsta You probably won't touch Manhunt again either once V comes out. I would go for SA, personally. In fact, I am replaying it right now but on PC. Up to you though.

PHOENIXZERO Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Green Man Gaming has a PC GTA bundle with all the past games for $12.49 and that was $10 ($12.49 without it) with the use of a code last week, didn't jump on it as I have no reason to. Here's the code if it still works. GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/g...ete-gta-bundle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowstwo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ok after you download and play the digital version...do you have to have internet always on? Or will it constantly check if it is the original version when you try to launch the game or stuff like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiophile Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ok after you download and play the digital version...do you have to have internet always on? Or will it constantly check if it is the original version when you try to launch the game or stuff like that? No, I believe there isn't and that you can play offline. After the initial download you can play offline with no issues as long as your PSN account is tied to that specific PS3 i.e. you don't go your account on PSN through the PS3 or PSN site and deactivate your PS3 from the account you bought V on.

Audiophile Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Any news about other territories other than US/EU? Not yet. Right now PSN pre-orders are open just for North America and Latin America. On Friday those in Europe can pre-order and when you're checking out it tells you exactly what time and timezone the download will unlock for your region of the store. As I posted earlier I imagine the midnight PST time is for the North/South American regions of the store. You'll find out on Friday for sure.

ToriksLV Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I will cancel my disc copy and preorder a digital one. I knew i should hould have wait for a little longer, but thats ok. I am just worried about downlaod tiems on launch since the network will be raped by thousands or even millions who download at the same time.

d3ex2 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Digital + Midnight Access + Full game installed on HD - Possibly cost more than a physical copy. - Long time to download/busy servers. - No physical disc - No booklet/map + No having to load discs to play the game Physical - Need to wait until 10/11AM - Only 8GB of the game installed on HD + Possibly cost less + No downloading + Physical disc + Booklet/Map - Have to load disc when you want to play. I can't decide what version to get. Physical has more positives but these three positives of the digital version are tempting.

I can't tell you what time they will have it up for download But i think i read somewhere either on forums or reddit about being able to download it at midnight 12:01 and not when they update the store. Or maybe they will update it for GTA 5 at 12:01, because i don't think they will for example update it at like 4 in the afternoon on the Sept 17. That would be just stupid.

Add this to the list: Digital: +in the case you optical drive brakes you can still play +quieter,probably faster loading +75% discount on any R* game +if it gets deleted you can download it infinite times -time to download on slow connection -much more space on HDD required -no trading Physical: -noise -slower loading -possibility of disc damage/breakage-you have to buy new one -possibility of delays in delivery +the feeling of putting it in the drive +trading(now why would you want that right?)

Trund Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 IF Sony offers a preload of the game then it would be a great deal, but without that I'd rather wait till the morning to get a physical copy, god knows how busy the servers will be and therefore how fast you can download it. Wouldn't be the first time that it takes me hours to only download a gigabyte from PSN. The only real advantage is the full installation on the HDD, I'd prefer that over a disc as well.

Njale Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If it's digital, doesn't that make it easier to make it available for download on PS4? No this has nothing to do with PS4, you will get better performance if the whole game is located on your hard drive rather then it having to load stuff from the disc.
