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?

Doubt it's true

Managed to download yesterday and play last night for a few hours. This morning went to turn the ps3 on and showed up with corrupt file instead of the GTA icon. Absolutely raging. Re-downloading now.

Would have been better off going to gamestop

listermint

I dont think i will ever download a game ever, I hope they arent betting on this nonsense as being the 'future'

Hard copies FTW

deafroadrunner

right heres the craic lads. picked up a copy in smyths so i got home the download was still corrupted rang sony to see had they taken the funds from my account. they said no so they let me cancel it there. your man on the phone told me that the issue was down to rockstar. he also said they cant refund anyone as it basically wasn't there fault and there should be a updated download by 4. right i'm off to play the game. i hope the rest of ya get sorted out with the downloads.

Don't right now. Installs aren't working for a lot of people. Supposedly they released a working version/fix at 4 o clock, have to wait and see if it works when downloaded.

Got it installed from this mornings download. Either I just got lucky or the steps in the links I posted did the trick.

So the failed install seems to have eaten up 17GB of my HDD space, which means I now don't have enough space to download the game. There's no way to delete the corrupted download as it's not listing in my game menu or game data utility. Called SONY support, apparently very strange error and there's nothing I can do except delete crap to make room or a do a full format (not happening). Deleted Just Cause 2 and some other stuff, have enough room now and attempting a new download (I hear it's fixed). Goodbye to that 17GB forever though...

I heard people mentioning going into safe mode to delete their corrupt file for some reason , worth a try.

Already tried that, once it said there was no corrupt data and the second time I tried it while on phone to SONY support and it said there was corrupted data but after it was done I was still down exactly 17GB. I am upset but I just really hope that whatever rogue GTAV data that got through and is now floating int he mysteries of HDD space doesn't interfere with the new download and install of GTAV I'm doing.

Yes I brought it in the shop but didn open it till I knew the payment hadn't gone through on psn. If it did. I would of returned the game tomorrow.

Pangea

Well just turned my ps3 off after 21 hours on non stop. It needs a break, not even going to bother downloading it this evening, going to wait to see what playstation say to my email requesting my money back.

Apologies, I didnt realise you actually got to cancel your order. I mis read your post.
I see on my own credit card statement the money is reserved, its not complete, maybe il try ringing them then. Is the phonecall expensive per minute?

Savage Tyrant

I'm on my 3rd full download at this stage!
First one took 20 hours, corrupted on install.
2nd one too about 14 hours. Again corrupted on install.
This time it's looking like about 20 hours again so who knows.

I bought the PSN credit from Xtravision so I've no hope of a refund. The best id get is the money back on my PSN, but it's no good to me there as if I don't get GTA there's nothing I want.

Hard luck, but looking at EU community page theres thousands of others in the same boat. This is obviously cause for a refund, and if they dont give us a refund Im going to try the charge back feature of my credit card.

Have you tried pausing it and resuming? ^^ Used to happen to mine quite a lot until I tried out that trick a few times.

Savage Tyrant

Third download took 16 hours!! (To go with the 20 hour and 14 hour attempts previous) and 54gb of data downloaded in total!

I've just had a call from my son that the latest install has.... Succeeded!!! Result!
Now for the 2hrs 20 mins to drag in till I get home for an hour of carnage before bed!

Huzzah! After all that hard work and near mental breakdown, I can only hope its everything you were expecting and more.

14% error... again. Even after they apparently fixed this. What the hell am I supposed to do now.

Thanks friend... I will forgive your laughing at my shambles of an attempt at getting this game. Haha.

Pangea

So hows everyone getting on since?

Shzm

Downloaded fine first time and installed no issues.

Game runs fine too, no texture pop-ins etc.

m_hunter

2nd download woks like a charm...

Frank Black

First attempt downloaded fine, but wouldn't install - says data is corrupt. Deleted and 2nd download has just crashed.
Will try 3rd attempt soon, but seriously regretting not just popping into Tescos to get it at this stage.

What's the story with refunds for games you've purchased via the PSN Store? I'd be apoplectic after two failed downloads tbh!

Demand a refund and buy a physical copy =p

Some people reporting they have been offered a refund after asking for it, I asked for one myself but they just emailed me back some mass email template on how to fix the problem.
I seen on the forums some people have tried to download it 12 times!, and others reporting downloads resetting like mines did.

I've just emailed explaining my issues and asking for a refund. Just gave up trying to download last night after another failed attempt and my ps3 had been on for about 30hrs straight.

This experience would make me re-consider any future psn purchases very carefully. Considering I bought the game on Tuesday, it will be Friday at the earliest before it's downloaded at this stage and that's assuming there are no further problems - something I'm not at all confident of.

Socrates

I tried today for the first time and it downloaded and installed first time without a hitch. Don't know if all the problems have now been fixed or if I just got lucky but it's working fine for me.

Just in case anyone was still thinking of downloading this.

Let me no how you get on, I got another email from Sony asking me to give them my phone number and they will ring me regarding my request for a refund.

Smarmy

My disk drive is being a bitch lately so having to download it. It's downloading at the moment. Is this a problem every one is having, regarding corrupt downloads or just some people? 70e is a big stretch for me this week so don't want it wasted on nothing

gimli2112

I was going to download it but saw some article saying the quality is very much inferior to the disk version. This is shocking if true - pay over the odds for an inferior product? Also seems to be lots of issues with failed downloads.
I certainly won't be downloading this now...........unless drunk

If you have a new 3k or 4k model, then download might be good, after download, there's no disc noise like jet engine...

Older version should avoid download, they had report old version will suffer a lot.

Few version should rebuild DB after download for best GTA 5 performance.

I had some problem with my download also, but 2nd try works

And for the inferior compare to disc version, I have the problem initially, but the problem gone after rebuild DB

However 70 EURO price for PSN on EU is not acceptable!!!! See the price on US PSN and UK PSN

FXXK u SONY! :mad:

Downloaded and installed without issue for me but took 10 hours, such a slow download

Pixelbastardo

Yeah, 70e is ridiculous. and its the publisher, rockstar who set the prices.
I was originally going to get the retail disc version, but when my brother offered to go halfs over psn @ 35e each, i went with that instead. He doesnt play online, so no issues with that =]

I pre installed the game before release, but my brother brought his ps3 around for me to dL on tuesday, and been getting the errors since, tried downloading countless times on tue and wed. The first one corrupted during installation, every one after that has reset during download. Gonna try again later today after a days break. Hopefully the servers have calmed down.
