Tricky situation.

I bought GTA V in stores as a physical copy on release day (it has 7 discs) and my new rig doesn't have an optical drive because come on it's almost 2016 and who on earth still uses an optica....so yeah.

Sooooo...I don't wanna buy an optical drive because of one game. So what do I do now? Is there a way to download it?

What do you mean?

[SeriouslyMikey]

Everyone has optical drives laying around, I'm sure.

The CD code should register with Rockstar Social Club and will be able to download it through there.

 

And hey! I still use an optical drive. How on earth would you rip CDs if not with an optical drive. 

[Cookiemonstahr]

yeah okay but can I download it using my own rockstar games account  cuz I used the code on it. Like on Origin?

[OfficialJsP]

You are underestimating how many people still use optical drives.

Just get external optical drive. And plug it using USB.

[Cookiemonstahr]

Im downloading it from social club lol

[Miguel Batista]

I bought a 10€ optical drive because my internet sucks where I am and dlding windows was not an option. Now it lays unplugged...

Get a usb one though. Having ro open the case to reconnect it is a pain in my behind.

[Tech_Dreamer]

just borrow one for temporary use from one of your friends if possible, or just flat out buy a bluray writter  that can read dvd as well

>Buys an optical disk

>asks who uses optical drives in this age

gg

 

Buy a cheap one external one from Ebay or someplace. If you have a friend with a disk drive on their computer, you could try and copy the disk from there and mount the iso onto a fake drive on your computer... Not sure how legal it is...

[Cookiemonstahr]

Thx guys but took roughly an hour to download it from socialclub. I was told it couldnt be downloaded.

*facepalm* JEEEESUS, learn more about a game before going out and buying. And have you ever seen the steam front-page?

yeah, no I didn't. That's a single phrase and a nod to neatysquid's tag. And you know, a joke.
