Rockstar Support twitter have issued a statement: “For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch.”
So until Rockstar will issue further information regarding this problem, it is strongly advised not to touch the “player” disc.
In other news Robert W. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian claims that GTAV will net in over $1 billion sales during it’s first month.
“Given the significantly higher installed base of relevant console platforms at launch, greater sales concentration among the top video game franchises, and unprecedented pentup demand, we expect GTAV to outpace GTAIV sales, and generate roughly $1 billion in retail sales during the first month,” Sebastian stated in a note to investors earlier today.
GTAV reportedly cost over $266 million to make; more than James Cameron’s Avatar.
GTAIV shipped 3.6 million units on launch day alone back in April of 2008. The game ended the month with over 11 million units shipped, raking in nearly $900 million.
GTAV is set to launch at midnight tonight around the world. It will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3. GTA Online, the online component of GTAV, will will be available two weeks after GTAV’s launch.
Just a couple of more hours left to go.
