I pre-ordered mine on the PS network, Goes live at 12:01 on tuesday. The only thing I hate is its gonna take pretty damn long to download (36 GB) but I figure I'll download it cause the days of me going out in the middle of the night to pick up a game are over, i'll just download it and play it in the morning.

Didn't PSN have pre-loading? Or did they pull that since people started "decrypting" the files?

No, when I pre-ordered it told me I could download it at 12:01 on the 17th. All I was allowed to download at the time of purchase was GTA V Theme. 

Meh, bonuses give me an incentive to shop at other stores. So what if they release it as something else down the road, usually they all come out to everyone else for free down the road any way.

Think your in the minority there, Id rather not be hauled round 2-3 stores and spending 2-3x on same game. Simply to have a full item set you barely use, or which is purely cosmetic. Im afraid I hark back to the days when you bought your disk/cartridge, and it came as a complete game, and any "dlc" you would have to enter a cheat code to get.

If Im to get any pre-order bonus it should be ?2-3 or $4-5 off of the game as a thank you. That will then do me nicely for some munchies as I go home and get stuck in, no?

That's why there's this thing called the internet. You can look at the games on their website.

But stores are offering different bonus's though. Everyone gets the blimp but stores are offering different bonuses to that to. I know Wal-mart is offering the blimp and a keychain. Game stop is just offering the blimp I think. The PSN is offering the blimp, a theme and a certain percentage off other rockstar games.

They aren't releasing it for the PC, at-least I don't think so.

Not yet, but seeing as every major GTA has a PC release (even the older ones), I'd be willing to bet they will eventually port it. I just hope they port it a little better than they did GTA IV, I have a pretty nice computer and even now GTA IV has graphical issues that other games which look a whole lot better do not.

 

If they do port it, we won't see anything until mid-late 2014 though, but its almost a guarantee that it's coming to PC IMO.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
