He got the same deal as me but it was months ago. It is very rare to get special pre order purchases so close to launch.

Not purchasing until I find out how well the port is. If the port is crap then I will not be purchasing for a few years

I always go with steam to make my best attempt to centralize my gaming hub.

I got mine from steam, so I don't have to go to a million websites looking for my games I bought.

i may get this game a couple years from now when its really cheap.. but when i do its going to be physical form. im not going to waste 60gbs to download just one game. its over a dollar a gb from my isp so it would cost me twice then just buying the physical discs.

That's new to me. I've never seen an ISP charge money just to download.

practically every wireless isp charges per gigabyte/megabyte. or has a low monthly limit and nails you on overcharge usage. one wireless isp in my area is even worse then i what i pay, they only give 10gbs a month and charge a 2.5 dollar per gig over usage

Purchased a physical copy at local gamestop to avoid crazy big downloads as I only have phone network to go off of now, and then got shafted by them with a massive mandatory 5gb patch for the game to even fucking work. So now I have a paper weight that cost $86 dollars and I'm royally pissed off I didn't just when I had the chance download the damn pirated version. I waited instead to get royally fucked by their DRM. Once again a paying customer has to jump through all the hoops, before being allowed access to the software they purchased. I'm getting really sick and tired of the industry treating customers like they are all thieves. When they are the ones pushing people to do it.

Old_Gooseberry That isn't the case in the majority of the 1st world. In fact some countries give everyone internet for free through legislation. Now if you live in the United states your basically screwed and in the stone age, with net speeds and availability. Canada has good speeds and availability, but crazy crazy high base prices. Like $60 a month for 6 months unlimited and then it raises to $100 for unlimited download, at something like 55mbs which is fucking bullshit. But at least they have unlimited options.

The retail version uses rockstar stuff, so does the steam version but the rockstar version can't be activated on steam. The retail or rockstar site version has awful servers and file corruption, so get it from steam.

Oh. Wireless ISP. I get it. My wife grumbles about hers too whenever our kid goes over the limit. He He.
