Not here from amazon uk yet
Not me nor my girlfriend. Theres a few people i know who ordered on amazon and haven't received it here in the uk yet, are the ones posted online even legit? Like the receipt i saw for it earlier in the thread supposedly from amazon uk on the receipt it says £29 as far as i know it hasn't even been available at £29 even on early preorder price

Yeah they're legit. Here's the pics three guys I have on FB posted (first one I cropped him out). There was more but they were the first few that sprang to mind.

Edit - Another three.

All Northern Ireland if that makes a difference, maybe they posted ours earlier by mistake. For the sake of a fiver should've done the same and went Amazon. Hindsight is a great thing.

 

[Kiraly]

Any unboxing pics from the Special Edition?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

2 more days for me. Why doesn't Rockstar unleash the hounds in the US!?

 

[UrbanRats]

Goddamn R* Warehouse... ship the fucking thing, and SHIP IT WITH EXPRESS DELIVERY!

Man i'm so mad, they wouldn't let me choose the type of delivery, because a preorder has free delivery, herp derp, but now i don't now if it's standard or express.
I would've gladly paid for express, for fuck's sake.

Free delivery is cool, but if i WANT to pay more to have it sooner, let me do that!

 

[bLaiSe]

Ah those lucky French bastards. I'm so jealous now...

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Are they early releasing the PC version? NO? TT

I think I can have patience even for gta5.

damn i think you should've then in that case

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

what a joke if street date was broken like this all stores should be able to sell

 

[Mar Nosso]

A young boy in tears?

I guess the age restriction is just a pretty logo on the cover, nothing else.

 

[GatorBait]

I don't understand Rockstar's handling of the breaking of the street date. They've been going all out banning accounts and sending out copyright notices, but they had to have known that this is the 21st century and the street date is going to be broken and social media is going to spread opinion and media all over the internet.

I'm just surprised a company like Rockstar hasn't figured out a more progressive way to achieve whatever ends they are trying to achieve.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

all they needed was online required activation then it wouldnt of leaked at all

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

The smartprice tin of tuna had me bussing up with laughter #studentfood

 

[sflufan]

It pleases me to see that some European parents are just as terrible as some American ones!

 

[Dark Ninja]

So are they gonna ban all those consoles cause that would be hilarious

 

[kharma45]

It's proper shite stuff that. Those no drain tins or bust.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I think they released ODST and Reach early too. I remember having to hide from spoilers

Yeah that seems familiar too! VIVA LA FRANCE!

 

[ElyrionX]

What the fucking fuck. Worldwide release now FFS

 

[Altered Juice]

I'm pretty sure a good amount of people here played an M rated game before they were 18

fixed.

 

[Sane_Man]

You really think that would have gone down well after the xbone debacle??

 

[Frodo]

I'm not sure if I should be baffled by a 11 years old getting a PEGI 18 game and the parents recording the moment, or by the vertical orientation of the phone whilst shooting the video.

Maybe I should go with both.

i have seen that video & i am disgusted, those parents are the reason why us gamers get such bad press.

people have been reporting them to PEGI, Rockstar, the police in France from what i have been reading online, i hope they get made a example of !

 

[Cyborg]

I called a few(10) stores in the Netherlands and the are all holding to the nightlaunch. No early sales

 

[JayVoDaKing]

Honestly, I think Developer should release like a 25% demo of the complete game,for the reviews and gaming mags.

Yes, all Release dates should be on a Friday.

Developers and the packaging companies for the game need to have a close eye on the product and not deliver to the companies of retail until the day before release, to cut down on the leaks.

So review a game without finishing it?

 

[inner-G]

What a bunch of shit.

US shouldn't be held back FFS, this is GTA!

I'll wait - I don't know if I want to contribute to their first week numbers if we're getting treated like second class citizens.

 

[MThanded]

This is a joke right. There is a release date. You can wait one day.

Patience is a virtue.

 

[Order]

What a bunch of shit.

Not getting a video game early = second class citizen now.

 

[Amagon]

Well, I waited this long. I can wait one more day.

 

[Resilient]

lmao, just lmao.

Grr, was in Paris just last week

You think you're getting treated like a second class citizen... because you'll have to wait for the launch day to get a game? Are you fucking kidding me?

This is one of the most hilariously entitled reactions I've ever read.

Edit: Oh, you were kidding? I seriously can't tell sometimes on here! :L

I'll jest have my N****z in Paris overnight me a copy, lol

 

[KaYotiX]

I dunno what bothers me more, That the kid got an 18 or that he's crying over a material possession.

Yeah, crying over a game makes me think his priorities are messed up...

also pretty bad parenting IMO. Yeah I grew up on Doom and other "mature" games but those games are nowhere near as realistic and brutal as todays games.

Aussies should probably start rioting in the streets, with that attitude, lol.

Not to be a dick, but the US, usually, are hardly "second class citizens", calm down man.

EDIT: Oh so you were kidding, alright.

 

[Hip Hop]

Jesus, he is just a kid. What priorities does he need now in life?

A kid can't cry when he gets real happy now? That's a bad thing?

I think its all relative if you think about the type of content that was available at the time. Doom was more violent than most movies back then.

Wow, I am out of this thread.

 

[UrbanRats]

Lol @ people outraged by the kid getting GTA.

If he's playing it with the parents' supervision and it's a sensible enough kid, it's not the end of the world.
For fuck's sake, how many of you watched shit like Robocop and worse at even a younger age? I sure did.

 

[2+2=5]

I have seen gta5 in an Italian euronics.

I know, right? Grew up on Predator and I'm just murder. Fine. I'm just fine...

 

[Majine]

I know someone from France got it!

 

[Sweep14]

So much for that memo from Rockstar.

Memo was only for the UK.

Poor english gamers Ah Ah !!! Remember Waterloo... ; )

 

[Palette Swap]

I know someone from France got it!

That video is in the OP.

 

[Moozo]

I know someone from France got it!

Enjoyed this comment:

"I played GTA III when I was 13 years old.
Since then, I have become an absolute psychopath."

 

[vinnygambini]

François Hollande, president of the republic of France, will now address the nation and announce that they have imprisoned the family members and the kid.

 

[Matt_]

Amazon.co.uk havent even said that mines been dispatched yet

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I remember GTA being hugely popular throughout high school (12 - 16). So...

 

[Artex]

Mon dieu!
