Why can't I pre-order GTA V on Xbox Live? We can pre-order it on PSN, but not XBL? Ugh!

 

Xbox Live doesn't support such a feature apparently.

 

?For those asking about digital pre-orders on Xbox LIVE, the Xbox 360 Games on Demand service does not offer the ability to pre-order games or make them available on launch day."

 

?That being said, we will be making GTAV available via Games on Demand as soon as it?s technically feasible and permitted by Microsoft.?

Well that sucks. I'm totally for 100% digital content. I want to download all my games instead of having to go to a store and buying a disc. But hey that's just me ;)

News on the soundtrack:

The game also includes over 20 hours of original, dynamic score created by noted composer Tangerine Dream in collaboration with Woody Jackson (Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, LA Noire) and L.A. hip-hop producers Alchemist and Oh No.

 

Tangerine Dream being part of the ambient score for the game is amazing!

Ever since its debut as the getaway car in the opening moments of Grand Theft Auto III, the Bravado Banshee has been a symbol of the ultimate American sports car. With its aggressive, oversized styling and powerful engine, it became a mainstay as one of the most sought after high-performance rides from coast to coast - from Liberty City all the way to Los Santos...

Significant work went into creating this real world version of the 2013 model featured in Grand Theft Auto V. Utilizing state-of-the-art fabrication technologies, molds for the exterior were cut and machined piece-by-piece for the high performance base vehicle. With these molds each panel was laid out by hand to create an entirely new exterior resulting in a screen accurate reproduction of the Banshee.

Referencing the model and textures of the in-game car, the interior was handcrafted and stitched to capture the look and feel of its detailed cockpit, with seats upholstered and embroidered with the Banshee name and insignia. The dashboard, door panels and center console were reconfigured and finished with carbon inlays. And finally, a multi-speaker premium sound system was installed before giving it the iconic metallic blue exterior complete with ice white racing stripe.

The result is a one-of-kind supercar worthy of representing the Banshee's heritage and a tribute to some of the deep customization options you'll find in the Los Santos Customs shops of GTA V, where you can equip and style your vehicles with a wide range of visual and performance-based enhancements.

This month, GameStop is offering the chance to win this one-of-a-kind vehicle as part of the PowerUp Rewards? Epic Rewards Giveaway?.

I can't wait to read the one site that reviews the game poorly to gain hits.

I'm looking forward to what Yahtzee will say about it. I'm sure he'll make a song and dance about, "oh look, another game in the franchise" as well as probably talking about how there is a lot of unnecessary additional options and abilities, finally mentioning that yet again there has been a fun-factor removed from the game as it tries to take itself too seriously.

I'm holding fire for the moment. It looks great from the screenshots, but I couldn't complete GTA4 because it took itself too seriously for my liking.

I agree GTA4 did take itself too seriously. I think Rockstar realised that and changed it up a bit with Ballad of Gay Tony where it had some more fun elements to it, like base jumping.

GTA5 looks like it will still be serious but give us more tools to have fun in the game.

 

Multiplayer looks like it will be a blast too.

I don't think I've seen any gameplay videos, are the car physics more like GTA3 or GTA4? That really put me off completing GTA4.

As for the multiplayer...well, I didn't touch it once in GTA4 and it doesn't interest me much in 5. I play GTA for the singleplayer.

From what i've seen and read. The physics are similar but not as weighted as they were in GTA4 but not so light that they feel like they're not attached to the road.

I think they've been compared to Midnight Club LA another Rockstar game.

 

I play GTA for the single player too. It just looks like Rockstar have done a great job on it. Plus they've had the great idea to stagger the launch of GTA Online till October. So we all get to finish the single player first. I can't wait to jump in with some Neowinians and do some missions.

Ok I caved in and pre-ordered the Special Edition Xbox 360 version. I was just gonna walk into a store and buy it on launch day, but after reading up on the various editions of the game, I wanted the Special Edition which you can only get online it seems. So I preordered that. Can't wait! :woot:

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
