Dog-amoto Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I never had this email. And what makes you think they're going to ignore Rockstar? Great news if true!
drahkon Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Just found out that GTA V will be uncut in Germany. Hope they don't fuck us like Naughty Dog did, not telling consumers that there were some cuts.
Jimbob Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah, i got the email as well. Ordered 2 copies, one for me (through Shopto) and one for a friend (through GAME). Had emails from both stating cards being charged early, hopefully means we get the game earlier as well.
Sheikah Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I never had this email. And what makes you think they're going to ignore Rockstar? Great news if true! Hey it's ShopTo, they usually send every game earlier than they're supposed to.
Happenstance Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 Tuesday releases with Shopto though you tend to receive on the Tuesday
Hero-of-Time Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Tuesday releases with Shopto though you tend to receive on the Tuesday Both Resident Evil 6 and Halo 4 arrived on the Saturday before for me.
Jimbob Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Tuesday releases with Shopto though you tend to receive on the Tuesday Everytime i've had dealings with Shopto, the game has arrived a day before release. Last game i bought was Pikmin, that arrived on the Thursday. So at the least, i'm expecting GTA to arrive on the Monday.
Rowan Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Gamestop UK are doing early processing too. Just got the email from saying to make sure there's enough money in my account from tomorrow. Less than 8 days:bouncy:
CoolFunkMan Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 So, has anyone read about how this cost $170 MILLION to make and market? http://www.vg247.com/2013/09/09/gta-5-most-expensive-game-in-history-cost-170-million-to-make-market/ ...how?! O.o

O.o Well, they gotta pay them gangsta's innit!!!! (yeah, i'll leave now). They've used actual gangsters to voice some characters in-game and pay various music licenses as well most likely.

O.o It's such a massive game and they've been making it for years. According to The Huffington Post they have had 300 developers working on it for 5 years. Let's say that all of them get paid an average of £50,000 a year that is £75,000,000 alone. It's projected to make over £1bn in sales so its more than worth the investment. Shares in the publisher have doubled in the last year because of this game.
martinist Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Well ShopTo charged me and took my money. Yeay, might stop wondering around forums untill it comes out now.
Sheikah Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 One week. And then I'll say goodbye. Doesn't seem to be much of a city there?
Cube Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Doesn't seem to be much of a city there? The city alone is supposed to be similar in size - if not larger - than the whole of GTA 4.
Agent Gibbs Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Just trying to sleep and my phone is going crazy with emails Shopto confirming the order and charging for the order! Now complete the trio give me shipping!
Dog-amoto Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 San Andreas map put into GTA V And the soundtrack.
Charlie Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 GeForce in Glasgow told me yesterday to try coming in on Monday and they might be able to sell it. With other games they sold around 4 days early so I'm going to try Friday and Saturday too. Work nearby so Friday is no problem. Will be checking Reddit and Twitter for the Saturday release!
drahkon Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Gameplay leaks Want this now. Still don't know whether I should pre-order from Amazon, which will guarantee a release-day delivery, but would cost me 5€ more, due to age rating shit; or wake up early, drive to a local store and hope for the best. Could use a gift voucher I got for trading in games with Amazon, so the balance is a bit in favour of Amazon. Edit: Got my latest gift voucher -> pre-ordered Now...the wait...

Jimbob Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Had the emails from Shopto, account charged and order is processing. C'maan dispatch email, then i know there is a day to wait for the game. I'm good friends with a chap at the Royal Mail sorting office near me, the last big(ish) game i pre-ordered which was ordered by GAME to the Royal Mail to hold until release day, he gave me it earlier on his way home. So hopefully it's the same again, got 4 days off work from 6:30pm tomorrow.

I also have a friend who works for Royal Mail and each one of such packages is counted in and out to ensure they are all held so they would have noticed one missing.

We live in different countries, I know, but the small shop near my office (which has a reputation for selling games early) said they are getting loads in and there is no need to pre-order. I wouldn't worry about not getting a copy.
Agent Gibbs Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 they might stealth send the game out from shopto....think it was my Skyward Sword order, i got the delivery email the day i recieved it, so it was obviously sent beforehand! who knows our copies could be winging our way to us 2nd class as we speak
drahkon Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I wouldn't worry about not getting a copy. If I hadn't had some issues with a couple of other games over the past few years, I wouldn't worry :p Now I'm on the safe side, and I also didn't need to spend money from my bank account. So that's nice.
