I doubt that, I think you can download it for free, but you need to have funds in your wallet by release time for it to work.

Yeah anyone can download it, you can download it with €0.00 in your wallet but as you say you're obviously going to have the money in your wallet come 1am.

Exactly that. Funds will be taken out for the pre-orders at midnight. If you've not paid, you won't get an unlock.

12.01 - no unlock.

The waiting game continues....

I thought it was a 1am unlock?

Looks like it is, one can live in hope though.

The funds have been debited from my account anyway, so hopefully go time at 1am.

I thought it was 12. Got all the goodies ready, pulled the seat up close, took a drink and was ready to get stuck in by 11:59. Damn

Dord

81%. Time for bed. I'll install and play tomorrow evening. It'll be a long day tomorrow. :eek:

Quick question

If I download grand theft to my ps3,can I then give my login details to a friend and let him download the game aswell for free?

deafroadrunner

mine was corrupted to. sickened. took ten hours to do aswel

Robert ninja

Second try at installing it and it failed again at 14%. I changed my DNS settings PS3 side and followed some of the suggestions from this thread and this one but doesn't seem to be working. Someone said to rebuild the database and that worked for them so I'm doing that... goodbye playlists

Going to disable firewall just in case too. Will leave the download on while I sleep, been up for hours trying to fix this bollocks.

I have tried it twice. Corrupted when trying to install both times. Just followed these steps and trying to download again..

Also added the DNS settings on this page that seemingly worked for another person...

Are you getting the whole 18 gb to download and its when you have to install the game data then

Pangea

Mines had stopped at 67% for some reason, just resuming now from 67%, wouldn't be surprised if its corrupt after that.

Yea. It would download and cancel on installation at 14%

Same here. Did it 4 times. Furthest I got was 21%

winston82

Same for me. Corrupted at 14%. I'll download it once more and let you know if it works. Should know by 12pm.

Is it difficult to get a refund from Sony??

Was thinking of getting two £25 PSN vouchers for £46 and using them for GTA 5 off the PSN store as my DVD drive packed in about a week ago.

Has anyone successfully managed to actually download and install though?

barry181091

Well downloading over the Ps3 wifi was a bad choice, was 30% done after 8 or so hours...on a 150mb UPC connection. I knew it beforehand too but I was like, "It will be fine!".

Just plugged it in there through ethernet, restarted download and should only take 60 minutes its telling me, sweet!

Hopefully I don't get the corruption issues!

My first download fin 12PM last night, got install corruption.

Then I redo the download again, and go to sleep, this morning it install and play alright.

Think you'd better kick off the download mid-night, and leave your ps3 there, mine 1st download was paused several times, that could be the cause.

PSN download suck...

Mine downloaded and installed with no problems.
I just set it off, left the house and came back a couple of hours later - all done.

Actually, to the people that have problems with corruption, what ISP's/packages are you on?

On a 10mb with Magnet. Used the neighbours free WiFi for the 1st one. Using my own now. Please, please work.

On 82% of the download at the moment.

Yeah id say thats why alright, wifi is so flakey. I also wouldn't pause the download at all. The PS3 just doesn't seem to like it.

Sky broadband 6mb. Shouldn't be issues tho. I downloaded 3 games last week from my plus sub including ac3.

Pangea

Ok tried to install but it says corrupted, wish I just bought it on amazon now

Jesus how long does it take to install?

Shzm

Got £50 PSN credit for £41 in the end, so I'm gonna give it a go.

1qTour

150 Mb UPC via ethernet

Pangea

Redownloading now, only another 403 minutes to go sure.
Turned off wifi and using cable this time.

Dord

Mine downloaded ok. I was using a 50mb UPC connection with the PS3 connected by ethernet. The PS3's IP is also in the DMZ on the router.

I turned it on briefly this morning to check and abruptly failed the first mission because I shot someone. Oops!

1qTour

There is an update from Sony aparantly that there will be a fix at 4pm ..

Turn off your router firewall, wire direct to PS3. Set MTU on PS3 to 1497 and dont download in back ground. Might be overkill but worked for me after failed install last night.

barry181091

79% downloaded ....come on baby!

Took around 30 minutes or so. Working now, eventually.

That was heartbreaking stuff.

m_hunter

forgot to mentione

PSN version of GTA V suffer the same problem like XBOX360 2nd disc install streaming issue

It's bad unless we upgrade HDD to SSD, I really wish i brought the 25EURO cheaper disc version

barry181091

Installing now @ 3%. Download stopped at 95%, think the net connection went but apparently it can just continue.....I have my doubts though...

barry181091

...aaaaand 80029564 error. Thats great.

I see in that ps forum link above that someone got a refund.
Its a refund to your ps wallet though, not to your credit card.
Wouldnt mind a refund now, but I dont want to ring up, it would cost a fortune, there doesn't appear to be any email address to contact?

Varik

Go onto your router and turn SPI off, this should sort everyone out.
