I have a simple question, that puzzles me, probably has a simple answer.

If you've pre-ordered the game, you get access to the Atomic Blimp. But if you didn't pre-order you don't get access.

How does that work?

Are they selling 2 different games, one that has the Blimp access and the other that doesn't.

I'm assuming it's a code you put in that unlocks it. In future, you'll probably be able to buy the blimp as an add on.

Its on a code that comes in the box, i've not put it in yet.

The One Who Knocks

I wonder if the special & collectors edition in game bonuses are all just codes or what?

Stupid question. I ordered mine last week on amazon. It was shipped 2 days after through PM. Does this count as a preorder? What extra stuff do preorders get? Outside Dublin so I don't have it yet.

So, somewhere during packing and sealing the cases, they have separate cases for pre-orders.

I pre-ordered the Special Edition, yesterday in Gamestop, just sounds ridiculous to have two different cases, lot of bother to go through.

Yeah i'm curious about the blimp too. It just mentions the atomic blimp. As in maybe that's just the skin of the blimp?

An unspecified number of copies of the Xbox version that was shipped over here were found to be deficient, Pat said his stock would be ok, but you may have shortages in other stores, we still do not know how many copies of the game were affected, Gamestop are saying they are sold out of the 360 version.

Awful feeling with all the hype around the game I am going to end up dissapointed. I remember playing grand theft auto 4 initially I was dissapointed with it. If it can stand the test of time like San Andreas I will be happy

I'm pretty sure these type of pre-order bonuses are just codes inside the boxes of ALL of the first shipment.

There's been a couple times Ive bought a game off the shelf, recently after release, that have the pre-order codes in them.

I think it's purely a way to get pre-orders up, no interest in the content being 'exclusive'.

when i was pre-ordering mine for the PS3 Saturday, they were not taking anymore orders for the Xbox either in Waterford City. The looks on peoples faces was priceless. I only ordered the Special Edition as the standard edition was booked solid too.

Golf looks fookin' ace!!! I LOVE the way it's not just you start playing and then you have no free control. Take your shot and then walk/cart up to your next shot...class!!!!

I'd imagine all the first run stock will have it if its just a code in the box, often got "preorder" bonuses from just buying games around launch that game with the codes for whatever dlc

I'd never played TBOGT until today(trying to get my fix however I could).


I turned it off after half an hour...


I'm worried I won't enjoy GTA V now..

In fairness tbogt didn't have a good storyline...There was more of a focus on fun gameplay - new weapons, base jumping etc. etc.

Maybe try multiplayer...base jumping's always good craic online.

I think I'm just tired of the city.

i got really bored of the city too, One thing i loved about SA was travelling on the motorway from one city to another.

That coastal road going all over the motorway looks epic, imagine racing around that in Multiplayer Makes me excited

It was alright, can be good craic when playing with friends but a lot of rooms online were full of cheaters, made the experience horrible.

R* investigating Amazon for shipping the game earlyand also 2 shops in france and Spain.

Rockstar told GamesIndustry International: "We are in the process of investigating early 'sales' to determine how and why that is occurring."
