My son found out they were releasing the game at midnight last night, so we drove to the game store and there were at least 50 people in line outside.
What a stroke of luck when somebody we knew was at the front of the line and they called out to us. i walked up, handed 'em my prepaid receipt and after they claimed our copy we were outta there in about ten minutes :-)

I wanted to get this game myself, but alas it's only available on consoles. My favourite GTA is still London 1969 (which Rockstar now give away as a free download).

So maybe crime does pay.
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, announced Wednesday that their open-world opus Grand Theft Auto V raked in a staggering $800 million in its first 24 hours of availability. Not only is that a new high for both the GTA franchise and Take-Two, but it trounces previous record-holder Call of Duty Black Ops II, which managed to bring in $500 million in its first day of release last year.
Unsurprisingly, the suits were stoked.
“All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto V,” said Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry’s new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence.”
Unofficially, the $800 million mark makes GTA V the biggest day-one earner ever across all entertainment media. To put the number in context, current weekend box-office champ “The Avengers” earned $200 million in its first two days (though to be fair, comparing a $10 movie ticket to a $60 game isn't exactly apples to apples).

Four of Rockstar games divisions are based in Britain, Rockstar North was originally DMA Design and was the original creator of the GTA series. GTA V costs £47 in the UK (equivalent to $75.58 US Dollars).

I bought it Saturday and am 60% through it, Great Game.
There is one part where Cletus has Trevor go elk hunting and a mountain lion comes after Trevor so after it "wasted me once" I went back to the forest and shot it
