I preordered it today on Irish PSN. It didn't take any money, just told me to have the full amount in psn walllet by launch time. Is that the usual? Will the pre-load still start even though it wont have looked for the money? Also is there even preload in the euro store?

If you don't have the money in your wallet at the time i think it's normal.

Ah i only had 50 quid in there i thought it would prompt me to add more funds. I wonder so if i will still get access to preload or if i should click preorder again.

Will the preload start at midnight on whatever day it's gonna be?
never pre loaded a game yet and I'm worried about getting it on time with my mediocre Internet the planned maintenance and all the other gamers trying to get it downloaded with how slow psn can be

if you pre ordered and paid it off then it should start tomorrow or the day after probably at midnight.

It's supposed to predownload Sunday but no one ever knows with the euro psn.

Thanks.. I don't get why Sony allow us to pre load it so long after Microsoft do..

I pressed the download button on gta v but it's downloading to separate files nowhere near big enough to be the game.. wtf

They have taken payment this morning so I presume the download will start soon. It will bother me knowing the game in inside my playstation but I wont be able to play it ha!

Go to settings, system storage and applications.
Click on GTA and you will see it downloading the full game.

Mine has only downloaed 2GB of 46GB. Doesnt look like it's doing anymore unless it's all in the background. There is no other notification.

EDIT: Scratch that, it's slowly updating in the background alright. 3GB now!

Was getting worried for a second because I've both far cry 4 and gta 5 per order on the US PSN. I'll be anxiously watching my PS4 in 2 hours time!

You can start downloading now from the US PSN. I'm downloading GTA since 6 pm.

How long does it take? Can you post when it's complete?

Does downloading the games make no difference to buying them as a disc, as in lag or something.. or it being wiped from the PS4?

All depends on your ISP and Sony servers but if you start downloading it now it will be ready to play on Tuesday. Never had any lag on a downloaded game, if any game you download gets deleted by mistake you can download it again for your games library.

I'm not sure they'll even have it in stock in time.

Don't say that I have faith in a reasonable 58.99 price tag.

.... well damn it. I'll wait till tuesday and see what happens.

Maybe some Argos stores will have it in stock, but they confirmed for me (Drogheda, when I was there) that they don't have any and can't see any due in and don't get deliveries on Mondays for it to be released Tuesday.
It's an Argos ''Extra'', too!

Don't think I can justify buying it again tbh
