"Everyone will be able to pick up Grand Theft Auto V when it officially releases on September 17."

Not everyone hehe, PC gamers.... TBA

If the game is ready, why not release it? Surely it's best to get it out ASAP? I don't understand what's so sacred about this particular date.

 

[loosescrews]

@bc5 Who ever said the game is ready? It is quite likely they have some release day patches lined up.

The torrent for it came out a couple days ago, Friday I think, dunno, not into the GTA series.

Maybe its the cynic in me, but id just call it a marketing stunt.

The torrent (for both xbox and ps3) leaked like a week ago, there are plenty of people already beaten the game last week.

Also, there is no magic about the release date, it's usually just the soonest date they can manage to have all their retailers ready to sell the product.

Been on a.b.x360 for a while too. Consoles are not safe from piracy..LOL. Multiple groups have released it, I'm guessing the same on ps3, but can't be bothered to look.

XDG3 probably. Either way, I'll wait for the PC version (of any game), as I'm no console fan Not really fond of these types anyway. Isn't beating hookers etc old now?

Eh. I'll get it for a fraction of the price in the next steam summer sale just like I got IV.
