GTA V, GTA V, GTA V, just in case you didn’t know GTA V is released this coming Tuesday and you may have just noticed that videos, screenshots, details are absolutely everywhere.  In fact it’s becoming increasingly difficult to reach that big release date without having spoilers thrown in your face.  While there are some certain gameplay videos floating around, I will do my best to keep the details down to a minimum and I will only reveal official related content.  Because I know that I’m not alone in wanting to maximise the surprises for this Tuesday.

So here for you today I have the latest Blaine Country spoof commercial trailer as we see some of the many wonders that there is to discover in this wondrous fictional land.  Whether its base jumping, a spot of hunting, getting some new ink, having something to eat or some good old fashioned Jet Ski races, it’s all here and more.

In related GTA V gaming news anyone that has pre-ordered the game through PSN, will have to wait a little longer than expected to pre-download there game so that its ready for release.  Originally it was planned that gamers could download the game ready for launch from September 13th.  But following some hackers pre-downloading GTA V and then having the skills to hack into the file and play the game early (which led to all kinds of leaks), Sony and Rockstar have taken the precautions to avoid this mishap happening again.

So now PSN gamers will have to wait until a day before the release on September 16th.  In which to be honest, if you start the download early enough on the 16th, the game should be downloaded with plenty of time to spare for release a day later.  This news has of course not gone down well, because many gamers obviously wanted to pre-download their game on the original set date and some are calling for their money back due to the broken promise.  Whether Sony of course do this, is a different matter altogether as they have a no refund policy on digital downloads. Let’s hope these understandably annoyed gamers get some sort of compensation gift, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Oh did I mention that the download will be a whooping 17GB? Yep, 17GB.  So if at all possible, it would be wise to start the download on Monday the 16th as early has humanly possible.

Grand Theft Auto V is set for a worldwide release this coming Tuesday.
