Erm, the game would need to be included for that price.

Not necessarily when you consider what designer headphones sell for.

Well, those go for £95 normally ;) , they're Sony's standard wireless headset for gaming, I've got their predecessor.

I did not know that. I guess that they are aimed at those that do not know about the previous version.

Has there been any suggestion of a PC release or is it solely xbox/ps3?

Try googling it with 'CVG' in the mix, they always supply rumours at least... Or wiki it even.

Didn't read all of that, but it could be good if they can keep it together.

Yikes! If that works, it'll be very impressive.

The sensible part of me says to wait it out and see if 5 is any better than 4. The child in me says that I have Tuesday afternoon off, could buy GTA 5 from Tescos or Asda, and spend all afternoon/evening playing it.

I've been toying with the idea of ordering it from Tesco like I'm doing with Batman, but the install for those games is enormous and I really can't be arsed rearranging my HDD...

I think my PS3 super slim either a 250 or 500GB hdd that I bought and installed so space is not an issue. I should be playin Arkham Asylum but can't be bothered. And I still haven't finished Dishonoured despite now being the perfect time to play (bored, cold, in bed, time to kill).

Since the PS2 I've found it increasingly hard to focus on games the way I used to - if I'm not playing a game over consecutive days or nights it'll sit in the drive for weeks!

Agreed. Back in the days before I became a CoDhead, I would spent hours playing the same game until completion. Over the past few years, I've noticed a decrease in my ability to concentrate. I can't sit still through a film any more and if I'm watching at home on DVD, I might watch half one day and half the next. I struggle to play games for more than two hours at a time - even with CoD, the max I might do is 2.5 hrs on a weekend. Otherwise I play for two hours max.

That's why I worry about buying GTA. I might play it the rest of the week and then bugger off.

It doesn't help when you've just spent 15 minutes or so playing, die, then find the checkpoint was right at the beginning of all that, and that the reason you died is something like a timed jump.

I used to think it was me not being arsed changing discs :oops: , but now I know it's a number of factors... In fact, I'll often spend five minutes now wondering what the best use of my time is

Comics on my tablet?

Kindle?

PS3?

Movie rentals?

Watching that TV programme instead of iPlayering it later?

:oops:

Common occurrence if it's not a review copy to get banned.

Mine has been delayed to the 20-23rd....

The problem is, Amazon sent out a lot of copies to far-flung places (e.g. the scottish islands) early assuming they'd take a while to get there. They didn't account for things like the Royal Mail having planes, so a lot of those copies have actually been arriving early. They are legit retail copies that people have paid for. If they get banned for playing them, well, I for one would be a mite miffed.
