Pre Order GTA 5 Starts Now – October 26, 2011

Can you believe this? We can’t. In fact I don’t think anyone else has broken this story. We feel that we’re the first to report the pre order Grand Theft Auto 5 has begun. How the heck can this happen? The official trailer release isn’t even until November 2, 2011! Well whatever the case you can now preorder GTA 5 at Amazon.com starting today. You can pre order for Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. No word on a PC version or a version made for tablets like the iPad. We’re certain all platforms will have a GTA 5 release.

So this puzzling development has us wondering one thing. When the heck is this game going to be released? I suppose it’s possible a spring 2012 release, but there are other video game release conflicts. Add to this the fact that recent video games have been having pre orders earlier and earlier. Is a year a stretch? Possible but we’re talking about #1 or #2 video game series on the planet.

Well we called it. It’s now the splash page on the Rockstar website. No, we didn’t make the image up. So there is nothing else to this day. It’s huge in that we have something solid. It also strongly indicates a Fall 2012 release date, likely in October 2012. E3 should have some amazing GTA 5 content. We don’t know the city just yet and heck we don’t even know the official name. We have the logo and the GTA 5 trailer date so let’s just rejoice those goodies for now!

It’s not GTA 5 buyt GTA 3 is coming to a tablet or phone near you!

There isn’t much news about GTA 5 these days, but there is some GTA news. This is amazing news! GTA 3 is being released onto the iOS and Android systems. That means your smartphone and or tablet will have Grand Theft Auto 3. How exciting is that? Pretty cool in our mind. Apparently it’s coming “later this fall” and said on the official website.

The list of current supported devices includes:

Apple iOS Devices: iPad 2, iPhone 4S
Android Phones: Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2
Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

How this GTA 3 Anniversary might mean GTA 5 news is coming? From a marketing perspective, releasing this GTA 3 on mobile devices will get the Grand Theft Auto series back in the press. The buzz for GTA will start up. If you think about it, there has been nothing exciting regarding this franchise for a long while. Getting back on the minds of gamers is what this move accomplishes. With the timing, it certainly makes sense if you believe that the Fall 2012 will be when GTA 5 is released. The timing is good, this game will be good, and now we just need something official about GTA 5. We hope that announcement comes on the heels of this mobile GTA game release.

Take-Two remain tight lipped about GTA 5 release date

There was an interesting Take-Two Q&A with Strauss Zelnick regarding company losses and future plans. No, the name GTA or Grand Theft Auto was not brought up in the discussion. However, what we can tell you is that Zelnick did say there are going to be some details coming out soon about “unannounced titles” which will be released in the upcoming fiscal year. At the same time Zelnick metioned that in the 2013 fiscal year, they have three new releases. Oddly enough he mentioned the names of those and they included BioShock Infinite, Spec Ops: The Line, and Borderlands 2.  So the 2013 fiscal year is from April 2012 to March 2013. See the void? There is a big gaping hole if you look at what was said. No main titles, no mention of GTA 5 at all? Surely to goodness they aren’t going to release GTA 5 in the twillight of the current PS3 and Xbox 360 life cycle. I am back leaning towards an early 2012 release date. I sense though that the lid is about to come off GTA 5 any week now. I’m sick of waiting. How about some details already?

GTA 5 in California – Kids Will Play!

There has been a court ruling in California recently that would have imposed a ban on selling violent video games to children. Nice try, but the courts said nope, not going to happen. In this case the children of California can have sleepless nights like the rest of us as we all await the GTA 5 release date.

Without question, Grand Theft Auto is a sure target of the crusaders against violent video games. Makes sense really but it get carried away. There are those folks claiming video games and violent video game affect behavior. It’s a debate that is endless and there is no hard evidence either way.

Is GTA 5 good for kids. No it isn’t. Will there be a “General” option? Not likely. How in the heck can you have GTA game that takes out the core gameplay? It’s fantasy. It’s a violent as you want it to be. It’s about being a criminal and how can you do that without a bit of good old violence? You can’t. GTA forever!

Sick of waiting for the GTA 5 release date and news?

To answer the question I say yes. We are for sure! The latest rumor we read is that the Official Xbox Magazine mentioned that GTA 5 news would be coming out in late summer 2011. Well that would mean within the next 3 weeks! Okay that would be rather nice!

Face it. There hasn’t been anything worthwhile come out regarding GTA 5 let alone a release date. It seems obvious that 2012 is the year. The only question that I really have right now is the life span of the current gaming consoles. If it’s a late 2012 GTA 5 release date then does it make sense? I just don’t see Rockstar wanting to have a game come out when the news headlines are all talking about PS4 and the next Xbox console. If those new consoles come in 2015, the GTA 5 should be safe. They better hurry up. GTA doesn’t want to compete with PS4 or Xbox 720 news that’s for sure.

GTA 5 Blog Launch!

We know that GTA 5 is coming in 2012. We also know that the leaks for GTA 5 are going to be coming fast and furious in the coming months. We also know that launching a blog will be the best way for us to keep up with the GTA trailers, screenshots and news. It’s going to be a huge game that’s for certain.

So the typical information is going to start leaking onto the internet any week now. First it will be things like the GTA 5 release date. That will be followed by some type of official word from Rockstar regarding GTA 5 location, release date and screenshots. The buzz should start about 8 months from launch which is why we think news is going to break any day now. Also expect early pre order GTA 5 listings to show up shortly after the official GTA 5 announcement.

So our blog is hopefully going to be your “go to source” for all things related to GTA 5.
