I think the timer is going by GMT time. It'll be (officially) released at midnight where you live.

Yep, that's going to be different for anybody in other timezones. I basically just go by the day counter and ignore the rest.

maybe but if youre in europe and ect. they prolly do it earlier but i doubt it because then they'll have to pay a fine. i think if retailers are made to wait to sell it they'll wait next day..... but im in usa . so there not doing it here

Are retailers going to start selling GTA V at 8pm on Sept 16 instead of the usual midnight?

I've just noticed the 37, Trevor is in the way!

It's still off by GMT, UK time by 1 hour slow. I contacted mods & admins, but nothing ever happened about it. It's only an hour off for me, but I personally take pride in my work, & I just believe the countdown should be as accurate as possible, given that it is such an anticipated countdown. That's all. But no big deal.

America is insignificant so we use GMT time here.

Yeah America is so insignificant that the game is set here and the 3 protags are all Americans. Sounds real insignificant to me. confused.gif

It is counting down to midnight forum time. it is working off the forum default time

the forum runs of GMT by default. That is why it si counting down to that exact time

 

if you don't change your local time in profile settings you will notice your local time is on GMT

 

the bit that some people hve mixed up is the UK is currently running off BST (British Summer Time) which is one hour ahead

so it is counting down to 1am on the 17th UK time.

 

damn you tank and your whiskey drinking ways that_guy2057_evilgrin.gif

I believe it's counting down to Midnight UK time.

I believe it will be 01:00 then in the UK, and 02:00 here where I live, Holland.

Should be running off either our board settings or our location via IP. Either add four hours if you're in the Eastern Timezone or just ignore it. I do a little bit of both.

It's best to not give a single f*ck about the countdown. Just wait till it's September, that's all.

Europe's just buttmad that their countries are too boring to make a modern day GTA.

Don't make me go with my minigun to their studio, then you wouldn't have GTA in the first place.

 

OT: BST ends after it's released so yeah, 1hour to long.

Why've they got it as 1am BST? It should be midnight.

Because 1 AM BST is midnight in GMT. And the site's clock has GMT as the default.

Because the forum clock runs on Greenwich mean time , British summer time is GMT +1 hour. Look at what time it says you posted

Nope, we run on GMT +1 a.k.a BST. Australia are getting the game first I believe..not including people who get the game early.
