Order not yet dispatched QQ I failed to update my payment info and got a new debit card for contactless payment and forgot my old card was cancelled. The way it was it said delivery would be the 18th now so I've paid for 1 day delivery. Down at Middlesbrough at the minute with nothing but the smartphone in front of me so not much more I can do till tonight.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

One thing I will ask is Amazon have given a tracking number, so will it need to be signed for? If so I'll need to have someone be here for it because I'll be working

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Usually my games from Amazon are wrapped lightly and come straight through the letter box. I'd wait to hear other people's experience before making judgement though.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

What did you do to be punished so much?

Also, are people actually getting dispatch emails or is it just saying it on the website?

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I got my email at 09:30am this morning

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Isn't as bad as I made out we were just stopping for a bite to eat en route to Birmingham for Newcastle vs Villa

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Ah right, stop anywhere good to eat?

Looks like Shopto are posting their copies today. :D Seems like some lucky few have been receiving their's from Amazon UK today, too...

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine has dispatched too :) Might get it on Monday/Tuesday :)

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine too, hopefully Monday as we have a gig on Tuesday and I won't get to play it.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine still shows as dispatching now. Not had the email to say been dispatched yet. I guess that means i wont get it on Tuesday :(

---------- Post added at 16:52 ---------- Previous post was at 15:47 ----------

Ive now recvied the email to say its been dispatched

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I've not had an email from Amazon yet. The website still just says "Dispatching now".

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Is anyone on here actually playing the game NOW? I've heard some places have sold early and that some people have been playing since Thursday. Apparently, that isn't illegal but streaming the content before launch day IS and that is why a few have had their XBL accounts banned for life.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Streaming content without the dev's permission is illegal technically after release day also...Copyright and all that

I've seen some people playing it already (received it today)

---------- Post added at 19:28 ---------- Previous post was at 19:28 ----------

The places selling it (in shops) early will probably get their wrists slapped.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Yep, so my advice, if you are playing it now, don't upload any gameplay as it will get you banned

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Will be going to Tesco Monday morning, heard from a neighbour who works there that they will be selling from Monday lunchtime so could be playing it by Monday evening.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Naff all from Amazon thus far.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Do Royal Mail, deliver on Sundays then?

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Possibly means no communication from Amazon about game being sent out.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Amazon to be investigated by Rockstar

Anyone know if GTA V will have 3D support?

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Doesn't surprise me at all. Naughty move by Amazon

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Well its upsetting for me.....i say this as i havnt got my copy early :(

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I've seen on DS that people who received it early from Amazon were all in Northern Ireland... I guess it was sent out early to ensure they definitely got it by the release day, only for the post to perform better than normal.


--------

My Amazon copy was dispatched today :)

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine hasn't been dispatched yet and won't likely come till Tuesday. All of you with the dispatched ones have a very high chance of getting it tomorrow.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I reckon even the ones that have dispatched some will get it tomorrow but some like me wont get it till Tuesday. My postman doesnt come till about 12pm sometimes 1pm so i wont be playing till afternoon :(

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine was dispatched yesterday via Royal Mail tracked. Will it require a signature?

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I dont believe so, i think its does gets posted through letter box. I think tracked mines you can see if it has left post office thats why it has a tracking number

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Ah thanks, at least I won't have to worry if there isn't anyone in

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Nope.

I have just tracked mine and it says 'There is no data available for this tracking reference, please try again later" which means i can rule out delivery for tomorrow :(

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Wayne, what actual method was used for it?

Recorded Delivery and Special Delivery both require a signature.

I don't know what other "tracked' methods there are.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

How can I find out matt, as it just gives me a tracking number on my order page

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Not sure. Does the tracking number work yet on the Royal Mail site? If it does, then I think that should say what service it is.


Still, AFAIK there are only two tracked RM services, Special Delivery and Recorded Delivery, and both require a signature. Actually, Recorded Delivery isn't even called Recorded Delivery now - it's been renamed to "Signed For".

Special Delivery gives guaranteed delivery the next day (or same day if you pay extra), has full tracking, and needs a signature on delivery.

Signed For (Recorded Delivery) uses standard 1st Class / 2nd Class, provides proof of sending and proof of delivery only (no full tracking), and needs a signature on delivery.

---------- Post added at 19:02 ---------- Previous post was at 18:55 ----------

Ah... Further looking around the Royal Mail site reveals they also have a couple of parcel services that are tracked: "Tracked 24" and "Tracked 48". Signature on delivery is optional... so presumably chosen by the sender.

Maybe they used that for yours...

http://www.royalmail.com/parcel-despatch-medium/uk-delivery/royal-mail-tracked-24-and-48

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

If I go via the normal link I don't get any info, but I go by www.royalmail.com/trackdetails I get info on it

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Amazon don't usually send first class dispatches out tracked so my money is on this being a kind of safeguard against pilfering and dishonest individuals saying that they haven't received their game.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

A friend of mine got it on saturday.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I have just tracked mine again and it still says 'There is no data available for this tracking reference, please try again later"

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Popping out to my local Tesco in about an hour. Heard that because people are getting their games early they will sell from lunch today. Probably a load of rubbish, but I will still go and look.

Otherwise, have to wait until tomorrow night to play. Got a couple of job interviews and an appointment at the hospital.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Royal Mail Track and Trace is a bit of a waste of time because their system is only updated at certain times.

For instance this has only appeared in the last hour:

14-SEP-2013 21:31 Outward RDC Volumetric Acceptance South Western Distribution Centre

So if your copy was dispatched on Saturday, chances are it'll have the same status.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Tesco is a midnight launch, so my neighour was talking out of a certain orifice. Still, she's hot to look at so I can forgive her lol.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

No post today :(

Still, so long as it turns up tomorrow, I'll be happy. I still have Diablo 3 to play!

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine didn't arrive either. Considering what Slicker said on BXB though, I expect it to arrive tomorrow due to the embargo.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine isnt even saying that. Mine still says no data and to try again later. I have a feeling mine is lost and will not arrive tomorrow

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

What time did you get the dispatch email? you might still get it tomorrow. I ordered a CD from them on Saturday and it arrived this morning but the game didn't. The dispatch email for the CD arrived 4 hours earlier than GTA5.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

It got email 4:47pm on Saturday. Still shows as no data and to try again

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

It's embargoed so although they've posted it to you, Royal Mail ain't allowed to actually deliver it to you till tomorrow. That's what I got told anyways.

Xbox 360 uses take note. Do not install both disks of the game. Only install the disk marked install

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...a-v-discs.aspx

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

gamesTM - 10/10

EDGE - 10/10

Polygon - 9.5/10


Yup. I think it's a similar thing as with Halo 3: The game caches stuff from the DVD to the HDD and then streams it off the HDD. So, if you install the "play" disc to the HDD, you end up having the situation where stuff is being cached from the HDD to the HDD...

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Finally an update from RM "Item (Item Number) arrived at Princess Royal Distribution Centre on the 2013-09-14 and we are currently processing it." I so hope this means will defo arrive tomorrow

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I got an email saying mine had been dispatched, 3 - 4 day delivery date

NOT a happy bunny.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Why 3-4 days? Did you ordered it from Amazon and if so was it Super Saver delivery?

thats strange

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

OK, not quite:

Apparently it's because of the way it handles having two discs.

Install Disc 1 (mandatory) but not Disc 2: The 360 streams data from the HDD (disc 1) and DVD (disc 2) at the same time. All is fine.

Install Disc 1 (mandatory) and also Disc 2: The 360 streams data from the HDD (disc 1) and the HDD (disc 2) at the same time. NOT SO GOOD.



Play? I'm surprised anyone still uses them. I thought it had become some crappy marketplace now.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Correct. Has been an issue since they allowed game installs. Notably the first affected was Forza 3. Well the first high profile game anyway.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mines about 30 minutes away. I can almost taste it :D

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine says 'DELIVERED - No Signature' - would be good if that was true.....

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine is sat n front of me, on my office desk. 8:45am delivery from Amazon.

I've still got another 8 hours until I am home. Today is going to drag a lot.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine now says "We received item (Item Number) at Sheffield City 2 DO on the 2013-09-17. The item is now ready for delivery." I am hoping that means that it will be delivered today. Im sat on sofa and keep looking at my letter box. I am even tempted to go to Tesco to see if they have any left as i dont like waiting

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Ready for Del means it's out. (Normally).

Mine has just this min turned up. :)

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Mine could be any time of the day, the post here is stupif. Letters normally come about 12-1pm and sometimes parcels normally come later the day via a different person :(

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

And it is here :D

Deffo no signature required from Amazon btw. Package states "safe place if recipient not at home "

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Im stll waiting. I dont no why but i have this gut feeling it wont turn up today. I am going to give it till about 1-2pm and if its not here im going to Tesco to buy it and Amazon can shove it where the sun doesnt shine :)

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I hope i don't end up waiting like this for my Xbox One as it'll be a longggggg weekend if it doesn't turnup on the Friday or Saturday. lol

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Im dreading that wait as well. I have the Friday, Saturday and Sunday off to play it but i have plans for the Sunday. Im on a knife edge now waiting for GTA and ill be worse when it comes to Xbox One. Why does god punish us like this? :(

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

hehe well i guess it will come tomorrow, if you don't get it today, i bet you have looked out the window about 30 times today so far. ;)

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I dont want it tomorrow, i want it today. I have booked the day off work today just for GTA. Something like that number yes

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Yeah, I had that feeling of OMG how do I install, then I hit play and it brought up the option of what hard drive to install to. Took me around 7.5 minutes to install onto my HD. How long for others did it take? Seen some people saying it took half an hour to install onto their HD!

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)

Only install Disc 1 (and do it via the game menu), don't install Disc 2.

Yep...agreed. I even got my other half playing on it and she isn't a gamer :) Found it awkward to unlock Michael though (not the mission but the lack of notification that a mission was available etc)...but its done now

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Absolutely loving this :D

Not touched the main missions much... Still only got Franklin.

Done a few side missions. The first two paparazzi ones were good, and the second quite funny. Done a few tow truck missions for that crack-whore friend. I failed one though as I thought it would be more fun to tow a police car around the city... things kind of 'escalated" :D

I've avoided progressing with one side mission so far, as it involved a race and I kept screwing it up big time.
