I've used shopto on several occasions. They are good but again I doubt you will receive it on release day.

Why not?

Retro is right. If they are shipping from the UK the day before release you will not get it the next day if you are based in Ireland.

Mentioned plenty of times but use ParcelMotel, Use the PM Antrim address on amazon and choose free first class delivery, You should have it Wednesday at the very latest using that method. Thats how I've ordered it anyway. Costs you 3.50 for Parcel Motel but still works out alot cheaper than gamestop etc.

Express shipping is 1-2 business but I've never used that so I'm not sure how quick it is. But I did check it out on Amazon and it works out €30 more expensive, which seems insane to me.

Express has been next day for me the two times I used it. Work stuff rather than personal, way too expensive tbh.

I will try the parcelmotel why antrim is it because its in northern Ireland and for amazon or shopto

Are you serious? How long does it usually take to get from antrim parcel motel to your local one?

Anyone ordering from the UK should give Zavvi a try, they're much quicker than Amazon, a little more expensive though.

Yeah got the email at around 1400. Its a while since used parcel motel but normally a day but I think that was during the week.

Am I the only one buying it online and downloading it to my console? It's 17.2GB in size on PS3. There's actually a 75% discount on all Rockstar games if you buy the PSN store version if anyone's interested in that.

I have ordered from most online retailers that ship games to Ireland at this point. Zavvi were consistently the slowest. So much so that I've stopped using them. Amazon have always been the fastest. I'd be interested to know how many purchases you're basing your opinion on?

I am, the download was supposed to begin today but no money has been taken yet, so who knows what's going on.

I only mentioned Zavvi because I ordered some blu rays from them and had them in about 3 days.

Have many pre-ordered this from Amazon?

If so are you getting it sent to Ireland or Parcel Motel? Right now on my Orders page it says "Delivery estimate Friday 20 Sep 2013 - Saturday 21 Sep 2013" to my Irish address - worried I'm not going to have it for release date

no chance getting it from amazon on the release date! its the cheapest around if you select the free shipping but itl take about a week, dont think many will wait that long

Really? I haven't actually pre-ordered it yet (no rush, right?) but I've never pre-ordered games before since I never saw the point to it (there's never a shortage of copies this day and age). How does pre-ordering typically work on the PSN store?

Well usually there is a date when you can pre load the game, meaning you can download the game but it won't be playable until the release date. In the case of GTA5 Sony state on the PS store the money will be taken from your account starting from the 13th. It will become playable on midnight on Monday.

Got my dispatch notice from Amazon to say it's on the way to Parcel Motel as well. In theory, it might just get there by Monday evening meaning that I should have it by Tuesday evening to collect on way home from work .

You have to have the money in your PSN wallet, and that will be taken on release date.

Do you know what date/month you pre ordered by any chance?

RasTa

I've enough Ps+ games to get through so don't mind waiting at all. Guess most people collecting at midnight are 360 heads?
