Not me, I've taken the week off to play it! sad I know! But I don't mind letterbox size packets anyway, but I would've thought a lot of people will just download it these days or go to midnight openings?

[Darren Bent]

I am waiting for my game and it should be here in 23.5 hours. Can't be arsed to go Tesco or whatever to pick it up just to play as I will have to keep noise down. I am not working at the moment due to floating week plus concussion :(

Amazon have actually been fined for breaking street date on this as they shipped on Friday with a do not deliver until 16/8 date on, and some have been delivered today, and some actually got them Saturday, hence Rockstar have kicked off and Amazon have been fined.

My duty , the youngest person is about 76, so I wont be getting any. If they send them like they do COD, theyre just standard Amazon packets

Grand Theft Auto 5 in Amazon embargo breach

Amazon.co.uk has delivered copies of the eagerly awaited Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA5) video game ahead of the official launch on Tuesday, breaching a strict embargo set by the games maker.

The many customers who had pre-ordered the title began receiving it on Saturday, and some have been quick to announce the fact via social media.

Rockstar North, the title's Scottish creator, is reportedly investigating but has yet to comment publicly.

Amazon was unavailable for comment.

Will Guyatt, spokesman for video and entertainment site IGN.com, told the BBC: "I got an early copy on Saturday, which I paid for myself, and was delighted on a personal level. But it's obviously going to cause problems for Rockstar.

"There are about 2,000 shops stocking the game ready for launch on Tuesday, so the number of people posting spoilers online is a bit sad", he said.
Grand Theft Auto 5 may turn out to be the most expensive video game ever made

Mr Guyatt said he had ordered his copy of the 18-rated violent crime game in March, but others in his office who had ordered it at a later date had not yet received their copies.

"This kind of thing has always happened in the games industry, but with the rise of social media a lot more people know about it now", Mr Guyatt said.

"I can't see what Rockstar can do about it."

Some retailers, such as Cex, have been selling pre-release copies of the game for up to £75, the BBC has learned, nearly double what other stores are planning to charge.

One Cex employee confirmed that there were 13 copies of the game available in a north London outlet, and 25 available in an east London store.

Audio leak

This is not the first pre-launch leak the games maker has had to cope with.

In August, Sony apologised to Rockstar after audio from the forthcoming title was leaked online.

Customers who had pre-ordered the game were allowed to download a "locked" version, but some were able to extract audio that revealed some of the plot lines.

The latest version of the best-selling video game replaces version 4, first released in 2008, with all the titles in the series selling more than 135 million copies.

A report in the Scotsman newspaper suggests the development costs for GTA5 could be in the region of £170m ($265m; 203m euros), making it one of the most expensive video games ever made.

The report anticipates that GTA5 could rake in £1bn in sales over its lifetime.

Such speculation has helped push the share price of Rockstar's owner Take-Two Interactive Software up by 65% over the past year.
