Bonaldo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I prefer the physical copy as always, don't want to download the whole game again and I like the map and menu. From the current system requirements from R*, Steam is not listed as a require software to install, so physical copies very likely cannot activate via Steam. For serial codes are non-transferable once activated, I think this is like what R* did on IV, they provide a wizard to deactivate the game, it will launch when the game is being uninstalled. Then you can install it on the other PC and use the same code to activate again on the same RGSC account. But what about if you have to do a format and forget to uninstall and deactivate the game? Would your key be lost forever then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reece251 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm buying physical because although I do have a good download speed, I don't want to wait hours for it to download from Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoleInTheSky Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hard copy. I had a Steam account, but downloading games was a f*cking nightmare. Also, I find Windows Live generally less invasive/tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonaldo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm buying physical because although I do have a good download speed, I don't want to wait hours for it to download from Steam. Well, they will most likely share a preload like a week before release date so it's not a big problem. But everyone, Steam or Retail users will probably still have to download some huge day one patch before playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, downloading big games from Steam is a bitch, but juggling with several discs during retail installation will be no fun either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hat Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'd probably get the physical version of the game. Because Indian ISP's are crap. Not really. We have Airtel 4g , to bad it is caped at 10 gb ...and I've got a 4Mbps fiber connection which is also capped at 10GB per month. 10GB? I doubt that, maybe 100GB. Nope. It's 10GB.

Earleys Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Retail, because downloading GTA V would eat a huge chunk out of my monthly internet bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedIndianRobin Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Of course retail. Physical copies FTW This is what you're going to get, either a Steam or RSSC key: http://www.reddit.co..._today_at_work/ Get your facts straight. I contacted my online seller and they have confirmed via the publisher that they are shipping discs in boxes. There's a reason "PC DVD-ROM Sofware" exist in the cover image. And no. Not all countries have unlimited internet. Edited March 28, 2015 by RedIndianRobin wackojacko66, ARC8_1982 and Chris S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would your key be lost forever then? From my memory, there is a remaining activation count, I don't remember the exact number, probably 5 or something. If you forget to revoke activation during uninstall for one or two times doesn't matter. There is a site to manually revoke activation for IV: https://support.securom.com/rockstarunlock/GTA_IV/index.php?c=revoke Edited March 28, 2015 by UltimateGTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trash_Ok Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Attempting to switch my pre-order from digital to physical version of the game since my shop just added it with a delivery on 14-th April just in time. They will have the game in stock approx. 2 days before the release. Can't wait to lick the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
