Will GTA 5 be on disk?

[melias24]

Like the title says, will GTA 5 be on disk for PC, as my internet would take 1 year to download via steam.

The size of games these days they should really start selling games on USB flash drives, they're super cheap and could be sold as like key-ring collectibles or something

 

Not everyone in the world can download 50 gigs in a reasonable amount of time.

Same here, 550Kb/s download, come at me brah

[HellaflushMcSwaggins]

I preordered the retail version anyway lol

2–4 GB drives are super cheap, but 64 GB ones are about 50% of the price of the game.

 

The ideal solution would just be ISPs that offered service on par with what was available in 2005, let alone in 2015.

They need to start the pre-load a week early for you to be able to play on launch.

Yeah, sucks to be me.

@OP, Yes. Check your local retailer.

I read somewhere that GTA V will only be as Digital Download in UK.

Don't know about other places nor if what I read wasn't a joke.

I've been saying this for years.

Don't most PC DVD releases only contain like 1 dvd and the steam code?

Not sure as i haven't bought a DVD since 2003.  But it would seem seeing how most games come with day one huge patches.. the DVD would be obsolete anyway and you would be downloading a ton anyway.

Nope, last game I bought physically (Advanced Warfare) came with 6 DVDs and a steam code to activate those disks.

So there will not be a digital way to buy it?

whats a disk???  :blink: isn't that something in your back that old people slip on???  :lol:

 

seriously though it should be like a legal requirement that ISP provide you with a minimum speed thats actually usable!! i live like 10 miles from anything in any direction yet BT (UK) have managed to roll out fibre to my village! spent 12 years having 1Mbps and waiting days to download games to having 39Mbps and it taking a couple of hours!!

Hell i even get 21Mbps on my mobile and thats not even on 4G/LTE!! before i had fibre id download all my games using my phone as a hotspot! 240gb of data in one month is my record  B) apparently that put me in the top 1% of all Three users! 

[ablangc]

Snip

 

 

HAHAHA!  I am currently setup that way.  I have my cell phone set up as a hot spot and then I have my Wireless router acting as a wireless bridge to stream the connection throughout the whole house.  I average about 250+ Gigs a month.

I bought GTA V on Steam, so I have to download it one way or the other. Damn 60 gbs? GTA V better look amazing. I might hard line my pc to my router to download this game, rather then rely on wireless.

unless you're using a wireless router from the late 1990s then download speeds between wireless and wired will make 0 difference. even the 802.11 protocol from 1997 had a transfer speed of 2Mbps and was upgraded to 11Mbps by 802.11b

 

current protocols of 802.11G having a transfer speed of 54Mbps and 802.11n being 300Mbps you'll be hard pressed to push either of those! unless you have 100Mbps the latter will be suffice.
