I preordered my LE copy last week but had no clue that the Microsoft Store would do that $20 rebate. Oh well.

So, is the majority here getting it for 360 or PS3?
Would be nice for us all to have some fun in GTA Online when it debuts.

I have it on preorder for the PS3, but think I'm going to get a copy on 360 as well. That way there's no vying for play time at the casa.

According to R*, the game will be exactly the same on both systems graphics-wise. IIRC, GTA4 and RDR were both better on the 360 than the PS3. But if you want the best graphics possible, just wait a year or more for the PC port.

It all looks the same to me, minus some contrast/color differences. Everything looks equally as sharp though.

Hot damn!

We knew Grand Theft Auto 5 was going to be big. Los Santos is the largest Grand Theft Auto map to date and it has "20 movies' worth of score" – and all of this adds up to 100 hours of gameplay across the campaign, side quests and back alleys of the city, Rockstar Creative Director Dan Houser tells The Guardian.

Hopefully GTA V will be better optimized than IV was. Many people with decked out systems still can't play it smoothly.

Time to dust off my xbox for GTA V!

I'm looking forward to it. One of the few games that I buy the strategy guide for to try to get 100% completion on.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before or not, but still

GTA 5 is most expensive video game ever at $265 million

The budget for Grand Theft Auto V is the highest of any video game, it has been revealed ahead of the keenly-awaited title’s release next week.

It is also is more than any movie bar Pirates of the Caribbean 3, with the game expected to make $1.57 billion in just one year.

Although games with a budget of around $100 million are becoming relatively commonplace, the $265 million (£170 million) budget of Grand Theft Auto V is more than double that of 2008’s Grand Theft Auto IV.

A number of movies hover around the same mark, including famous flop John Carter, but the only film that cost more to make than Grand Theft Auto V is 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

More: Is this the official GTA 5 map?

Despite this colossal investment newspaper The Scotsman reports that Grand Theft Auto V is likely to sell 25 million copies in its first year alone, generating sales of £1 billion ($1.57 billion).

Shares in Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive, which has often been in financial trouble despite the success of the franchise, have almost doubled in the past year.

‘By any sort of commercial scale, Grand Theft Auto is easily Scotland’s largest cultural export ever. The series has sold something like 135 million copies so far,’ said Scottish Games Network’s Brian Baglow to The Scotsman.

‘The series has come on not just in leaps and bounds, but in long jumps since then. It’s become far more than the sum of its parts, it’s a fully global phenomenon. This is the fifth major release, and the nice thing is that all of them have been made here in Scotland.’

Although the London-born Dan and Sam Houser are the lead writers and producers for Grand Theft Auto, the franchise has always been made in Scotland.

Development studio Rockstar North is based in Edinburgh, but started life in Dundee as DMA Design – where it made popular 16-bit games such as Lemmings and Unirally.

The new video below shows a compilation of some of Grand Theft Auto V’s new in-game TV commercials, all created using the same graphics engine as the rest of the game.
And with screenshots like this, it shows:

Rockstar said the GTA V map is bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined.

These are screen shots from a video on YouTube. The red area is the map from Red Dead Redemption. The black shows GTA3.
