[ALL] Grand Theft Auto V

[Swarley]

Yeah, rail GameStop for some of their other stuff, but they are usually pretty dang good with their midnight releases.

So, am I gonna be able to roll into a Gamestop tomorrow around noon and just buy this with no preorder?

 

[tigstah]

yes you should......

 

[f16harm]

yes you should......

OK, in my life I've never seen a game sold out on release day, but this shit seems to be quite bonkers on the scale and was curious if Gamestop's were getting limited quantities.

I think if I leave now and take a picture of the line waiting for GTA here, the resulting group will scatter like roaches from the flash.

It's supposed to rain soon as well... :shifty:

Got into mobile app and ordered me a car with personalized license plates. Since the 1st one is free, I went back to the edit screen and put all the $$$ add ons. I didn't want to use the certain custom plate w/ this beginner car but I thought it might get picked up soon if I didn't grab it now(AGGIE01).

The only game that I ever remember there being a shortage of was actually GTA Vice City. I preordered about a month before the game dropped and I had to wait a week to get it.

So can you do all the cool stuff with the web site that you can do with the iphobe only app?

Installing now.

Won't be online for a day or so, as XBL is currently investigating my gamer tag, but feel free to send me a friend request: ThomasTomasz

Was out out of Gamestop by 12:05, got home by 12:15, and just finished the install at 12:38. LET'S DO THIS

Standing in line at Best Buy, there are about 30-35 people in front of me. There's a couple of kids with their parents. Just going to get the game tonight, I'll play it in the morning.

Installing

 

[Swarley]

Walked in at midnight, took about 15 minutes at Best Buy. Probably about 50 people. Drove by GameStop and that place was crazy. Hundreds of people.

Best steelbook ever:

Done installing

Time to cook the Bagel Bites while this bitch installs.

 

[Swarley]

Mmmmm...driving and shooting feel very nice. Definitely feeling the Midnight Club and Max Payne influences.

JayDizzle's Excellent Adventure

JayDizzle's Excellent Adventure

I leave the house at 10:30, get to GS at 10:50 with no traffic in sight.

#60 out of the 200 that showed up (additional police officers arrived at the scene later on to get their freely comped copies like usual);

In front of me, two guys who spoke not one word of English but were burnin' through the evening minutes of their iPhones;

Behind me, a mouthbreather decided it was the perfect time to watch clips of Family Guy on his iPad and about half the kids from the local high school and/or military base.

EVERYBODY wanted a piece of the action.

What was better was seeing (not hating mind you, as it was cool that GS was even GIVING stuff away because they usually don't) a few special editions being given out to a lucky bunch that won the raffle.

Another few got some posters with one Air Force guy getting a wall hanger portrait of Michael that was bigger than he was. :lol:

And a carload of teens got a cardboard stand-in of the game box with the cover art on it and a picture of Franklin on the back.

--------------------------------------

Hours later, I go inside the store with my receipt and whatever was left of my sanity (Bands may Make Her Dance but you can go fuck yourself, Juicy J)...

...and grab my copy with little-to-no effort; shit was fast and I was out the door a minute later.

---------------------------

Some time later, I hit up the local gas station to grab some snacks (I failed at pre-planning beforehand ) and got this stuff:

-One beef burrito w/ cheese, beans and green chiles
-Two Krispy Kreme donuts
-A Strawberry Cheese Danish
-and a bag of Kroger brand Snack Mix

...the two sodas I got out of the fridge to go with my liter of Dr. Pepper got earlier.

----------------------------------

Now I have my copy:

...and I'm ready for the next big adventure. :lesmug:

Made it up to the north shoreline. Now it's time to find a convenience store to rob.
