Anyone know if you need the Internet on the PS3 to get the game up and running with the first install ? I've just moved home and haven't the broadband set up so my PS3 hasn't been updated in a few months,

I'm absolutely bricking it that I'll need it and won't get a chance to play it!!

Few non spoilery review quotes:

the missions are frequently incredible

No shortage of the spectacular...

The attention to detail in GTA V is likely unparalleled in any other video game.

Eeeeeee

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

After the nightmare of my disc drive failing.... My 18gb download for the game from PSN, which took 20 hours, failed to install. Some error about corrupted data.
Jesus fûcking Christ. The gaming Gods don't want me to play this game.

Knowing my PS3 and any new game ive bought. There is very little chance of it working on an no updated PS3. Thats one of my gripes with the console.

I think you will need whatever upgrades they have out first before you can play. so make plans for that first.

Could this be because you don't have enough space left to install it? Try freeing up some more space and installing again?

You need at least 36GB of free space to install the game.

18 for the actual download and 18 for temporary storage while installing

Yay, dispatched, now shall hope it's there when I wake up

Not unless you paid for the 'Santa Pat' service where Pat drives around the country all night hand delivering the game.

Yeah, I had to free up space. When I first started the download it told me I hadn't enough free space.
It seems the download itself corrupted. I'm redownloading now as we speak. I'm on the verge of a severe mental breakdown.

That's why I'll stick with physical copies of games for as long as I have to

My parcel motel tells me the game was delivered to their depot at 6.30pm Saturday night (and it's still there).

Is this possible if Gamesnash didn't dispatch the game until a few hours ago?

There was no pic of the package though, like there usually is...

really annoyed with gamestop now tbh. 65 euro for the standard edition. 75 euro for the special edition and tesco are 49.99 for the standard... absolute rip off on gamestops part imo

Its not a game in your parcel motel then.

Gamesnash only got their copies today.

Go see what else you ordered. no one here can do that for you.

Didn't order anything else bar GTA from Gamesnash, so this was why I was wondering why a parcel was present on my page.

Cheers for the attempt at the smart answer anyway.

That's why I wouldn't buy off any of these places, pure cheek having it so high priced. Also same with Xtra Vision, a place that is close to go bang and they are selling it for 60 online I think.

So I went and bought it on amazon instead

I wouldn't give them my custom, and I worked there when it was Gamesworld back in the day...

I'm getting it in Tesco, I think its actually 55, but still - GameStop are thieves....

This is why I have never, ever bought anything there. Since the day they opened in Ireland they have been more expensive than every other retailer.

I understand that a retail store can't compete with online outlets, and that's fine, but these guys take the biscuit.

How they are still in business yet Game and HMV went bust is beyond me.
