GTA V release pulled forward on PS4 & bonuses leaked by Sony

It seems that GTA V was available for pre-order on European PSN on October 2nd. The entry has been deleted, but the website gameplane.de managed to screenshot the download list on their PS4, which reveals, that GTA V may be released two weeks early für Sonys platform.
In addition another entry revealed that there will be more bonuses than just the already known MP Pre-Order Cash Bonus.

[lelo2play]

If this is true, I see a sh**storm in the near future.

[MasterCornholio]

People get to play the game two weeks early.

What is there to complain about?

Its not like they are delaying the other versions by months which is what happened to watchdogs on the Wii U.

P.S Only if this is true though.

[Mr_Writer85]

I think he means from people with an X1.

Also don't forget this was put up in error, and the wrong date is most likely the reason it was taken down.

[Gazondaily]

Would be a very clever move on the part of Sony. I would certainly be swayed by whatever version came out first.

[higgins78]

What's this Watch Dogs you mention? Oh right, now I remember...how awful, worse still, vanilla. To be honest, Nintendo are better without Ubisoft at all, a company built on advertising muscle and propaganda over anything innovative or brilliant.

[vishmarx]

i dont see people crying about xb1 owners getting dragon age a week early

[MRMagoo123]

Can't wait for this game, I have it paid off in full now thanks to the cancelled pre order of unity from yesterday lol.

[Chrischi1988]

I guess he understood, that he meant X1 players, he was just giving an example of what happened with a Wii U game.

Well, I dont know, the whole GTA V hype is over. This is almost the same thing like with delayed games, all know the story, know everything about the game, how do they expect to sell just as much? By thinking all gamers are graphic whores? Not really nice of them, if you ask me.

[Feralkitsune]

Well they did delay the Pc version lol.

[XB1_PS4]

@Septic You would be swayed by a re-released game arriving on a console 2 weeks earlier than the other?

I definitely would not. It takes a lot more than that to convince me one way or another.

[Chrischi1988]

Starchild, you sound just like many PS4 fanboys on here, but if it doesnt happen to PS4 fans, then it is ok to make such dumb statements.

[maniacmayhem]

I wonder why Starchild got marked for trolling when that is exactly how some sounded for TR.

I have never been a fan of GTA but the game looks gorgeous on the PS3/360 I can only imagine what it will look like on these new systems and especially for the PS4.

I wonder if the bonuses will be extra content or multiplayer modes...hmmmm, may be a good time to get back into GTA if this is the case.

[spacedelete]

i'm not sure i care about 2 weeks early. the game should be out in October.

[Thatguy-310]

I don't see why. I mean this game came out last year so people shouldn't have a problem waiting two weeks. That's if any of the information is true.

[Magicite]

Sony made a deal with Rockstar, you jelly?

[theXtReMe1]

According to the preorder page on the USA store today, it is still coming November 18:

Grand Theft Auto V

https://store.sonyentertain...

Though, if they want to bring it out a full two weeks early, Im not going to argue. I preordered it today via PSN... So I am ready to download it, whenever they upload it. :)

[KAEM7]

Does anyone know if there is going to be a upgrade program to upgrade my ps3 version to a ps4 version??

[NarooN]

Nope. You have to buy it again at full price.

[KAEM7]

Thanks, bad news but thanks anyway. Guess I will trade it in and maybe get the ps4 version when it gets discounted.

[MrChicagoWind]

ebay, craigslist, or any store that accepts trade ins. My guess is you can make between $15 to $35 depending where you sell it.

[annoyedgamer]

Nope, sell your old copy back and wait for a discount. Don't let these greedy corporations rob you.

[KnownAsEpic]

I hope it's true. I'll need more time to play Far Cry 4!

[BattleReach]

Could be. I copied this from the official Playstation Blog:

"Today, I’m excited to announce that if you pre-order Grand Theft Auto V from PlayStation Store by November 3rd, you’ll receive an additional $300K for Grand Theft Auto Online..."

November 3rd is one day before the rumored PS4 release date LOLL.

[madworld]

LOLO for what this is a RIPOFF the game which almost every players buy,it is the same game with a little enhancement by full price that is a ripoff man for god sick BRO it is a foolish move especially from ROCKSTAR !!!!!!!!!!!

[BluFish]

Slow your roll, sparky, you bought and received the game you paid for. You didn't buy it because you'd be able to upgrade it in the future for free. If you don't think the upgrade it worth it, don't buy it. They owe you nothing.

I never bought it because I was waiting for the PC version. Patience can go a long way, young padawan.

[Spinal]

Clearly you're not very smart.

When you purchase a product you should be fully aware of what you're getting into. When I bought mine on 360 I knew the next gen version would come later. I didn't care for that I enjoyed every moment of gta 5.

And now that it's coming to next gen I'll be enjoying the multiplayer much more on the new system with more players. More bounties for me to claim.

[TheSaint]

Sorry, once more in English please?

[RosweeSon]

Fingers crossed ;)

[ScamperCamper]

I'm with you on that. I have the PS4, I'm good to go. I've been holding off and getting it before other systems is a nice bonus. Regarding cheats, any guess if PS3 cheats here http://www.grandtheftautofo... will be the same for the PS4 version? I'm guessing yes as the controls are the same, but has this been confirmed yet?

[TheOnlyMastrx]

I recall seeing somewhere that Rockstar had something special for PS4 a while back, maybe it is these extra bonuses? I could also be behind on my news/rumors

[mark3214uk]

its the motion controller i think e.g something to do with 1st person mode and the ps move and camera

[Lazyeye79]

That would be pretty sweet.

[Stig2k]

4th November 2014 is the date pre-loading of the game can be done, no?

[gamegenieny]

Yeah i get the feeling the two weeks early is going to be the ability to pre-load the game. But we'll see.

[Lazyeye79]

Pre-load the game 2 weeks early. That would be torture for those people, just seeing it on the dash and not being able to play it.

[sungam3d]

Bring forward the PC release date 2 months and I'll be as happy as a big in mud.

[Audiggity]

I was just thinking the same thing... getting as many console games out of the way now so I can spend time prepping the PC for GTA V...

Can't wait.

It's close enough now that I stopped playing it on 360, just going to make sure I have all of the DLC/patches/cars/properties in order to transfer my character over to the PC version.

Replay editor... drooling...

[TheJacksonRGN]

It's not coming 2 weeks early, the pre-order promotion just ends two weeks before release.

[peshkavusCA]

let's just hope Psn is ready for digi downloads this time.

[AutoCad]

maybe they are making up for never releasing the agent lol.

[YourSavior]

Can somebody summarize what this article says for me? My phone doesn't load that webpage. Thank you in advance.

[Blueponder]

I hope they add an option to start the game right after the main story is complete.

[johny5]

2 weeks early? Is that 20th or 25th of this month, what does that mean?

[Randostar]

two weeks early would be november 4th.

[OiNioB]

Oh Look!

0 Uproar and tons of comments attempting to justify why it's OK for Sony to get an exclusive timed release(although very short)

but both sides of the gaming community throw temper tantrums right?

[GameDev1]

Are there? where?

Many people dont seem to care, two weeks if true is pretty short

[Funantic1]

I doubt it's true but if it is I really don't care. I beat it on the 360 already. I won't buy it again.

[generic-user-name]

Yeah I doubt this is true and if it were to be true then why would they keep it a secret, Sony would shout that from the mountain tops.

[tee_bag242]

Why not release it early if it's ready. There's no point RS holding it back just to spare the other platforms feelings. Heck I'm still waiting for a PC release but you don't hear me jumping up and down.

[MajorGecko]

300k is about half a fully customed super car thats not uncluding the 400-900k you paid for the car enjoy roof top rumbles

[CertifiedGamer]

I am going to crumble gamers dreams when I show them these screen shots that are likely from how the PC build will end up, if not by rockstar then definitely by the mods. http://pinoytutorial.com/te...

[Chrusherx]

awesome!

[medabotds]

Never been a fan of console exclusive stuff no matter which side of the fence I'm on.
