Well I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone on here and everyone who's worked so hard behind the scenes and of course Rockstar themselves. Its been some journey with u guys but now It's here...what we've all been waiting for.....Grand theft auto 5 is out

I saw a vid of the Q in Blanch SC. It's massive.

I'd link the vid, but it was uploaded straight to a friend's FB. I'm sure it, and more, will make the rounds though.

Mr. Tezza

Very well done by Gamestop I have to say, I was about 50 back from tge front of the queue but once they started giving out copies of the game I was only waiting about 3 mins!

Now off to deprive myself of a few hours sleep!

I reckon I saw the same video! I got out of the cinema at 11:40 drove around to the green car park and drove straight back out 60-70+ cars there!

Installing now, PS3 Special Version, I'm Happy

The Queue was still big when i left 10 mins ago.

The stamp queue stopped moving from 12 on wards to make way for the guys who had it stamped, seen loads trying to chance their arm by skipping and trying their luck, they were sent packing

Well guys, I got the game at about 3 minutes past midnight and have got it home. Guess what? The PS3 won't play it, heartbroken to say the least.
Can't afford a PS3 for another good few weeks so this is pretty much it.

Honestly just feel like crying.

BunShopVoyeur.

So jealous.

I had better get a copy tomorrow at lunch time. I can't wait any longer.

Is it just not reading the disc, or not installing, or crashing post installation?

Ok so I just picked up the game in GameStop, home now installing and just looked at the receipt and shouldn't it be stamped collected? He basically handed me back the exact same receipt, do they scan them or what? I thought they would stamp it ??

In Mullingar they were all stamped and you were not even allowed in the store for collection if your receipt was not stamped!

Blank screen when I go to select the game. Nothing else, just a blank screen.
Have restored PS3 to factory settings twice and nothing. It's reading the disc as it says GTA V before picking it..but when I pick it I just get a blank screen.

I'm just going to bed...I hope everyone enjoys it

Tried another game in it?

Possibly a dodgy disc?

Other games have been working fine. Well, not all games..some didn't work. TBOGT did, RDR wouldn't for some reason. It's the Playstation, I'm pretty sure of it.

Sorry to hear that SV.

Anyone who has the game have it on a fat ps3? Did it install for you guys? Just wondering because I'm thinking of picking it up at some stage.

This is going to be the single longest night of my life! Everyone putting pictures of their game up on facebook, its killing me

I didn't pre-order, but waited outside Xtravision at midnight and got a copy. Installing right now.

The game is two discs, so 16GB of data. I reckon the "mandatory install" is 8GB just like Forza 4, so game assets/music etc load faster. The downside is you're playing from a disc, and the Xbox 360 noise/disc wear is a factor. I'd go with budgeting 16GB, install the first disc like you would a regular game and then let the game perform the mandatory install from disc 2; whisperquiet gaming, fast load times etc

For anybody who has the game now don't install the play disc (Disc 2) onto the Xbox 360 hard drive. If you don't want to play it from the DVD then just install it to a USB stick and play from that. There are issues with textures being slow to load/popping in when the game data from Disc 1 and Disc 2 is on the same device.
