GTA 5 PC Ships on 7 Discs - Report

The funny thing is I'm buying the physical version because it's the same price as the digital version, but I'll be entering the code that comes with it and downloading the game from Steam at about 20MB per second. It seems a waste, but I'll enjoy owning the physical version, even though the discs will literally never exit the case. We're living in a transitional time.

Lol holy cow.. Digital convenience got here just in time! I pity those of you with bandwidth caps, or everyone without Fibre Op with this size of file! I do usually enjoy physical copies, particularly with GTA games, but seven discs is just a tad overkill... sounds like a real fun install.

@lonesamurai1: The discs aren't even collectible.

@lonesamurai1: but 7 CDs....that's a bit much

PLEASE REMOVE DISC 2 AND INSERT DISC 5

You expect me to believe there are PC players that still buy their games physically?

Sounds like the push for Bluray media for PC to become standard needs to happen.

I'm glad they did it. I always backup/convert my games and don't rely on digital because it's not always good in all situations so this is a plus for me.

I wasn't even thinking about there being physical copies in existence.

As much as I like physical...good thing I played this on PS4 already. On one disc. Are they stupid? What's wrong with putting the game on one or two BD, or even a flash drive?

Going to wait till this game is $5 or less, mods and better textures aren't worth buying the game at retail price a second time.

i'm still waiting for them to start releasing games on flash drives... OR

let you bring a flash drive to a store or kiosk like redbox and have it copied to your flash drive.

ok, yeah... just found it.. 59gb.. could be done on a 64gb usb... still not too much and should install soo much faster.
