Holy shit. Custom plates for both single player and GTA Online.

But jeez, the app is 450 megs.

love how the game looks

Also I called my local Gamestop and there's no truth to the early release. I figured as much but oh well.

The crew is sorta slowing down at 31. Join up at http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/dvdtalk if you haven't already. Zeidos is the only person who is hanging out at the Lieutenant level for treating it like the Rockstar Antisocial Club and not accepting my friend request. Again, I encourage everyone to friend everyone else in the comm, especially in the first two weeks when comparing stats on the single-player game is all we'll be able to do.

I said the people who joined up before the retail launch start off at Lieutanant (with an easy upgrade to Commissioner) and after midnight PST tonight I'm just gonna bump that down to instant Representative status w/ an easy upgrade to Lieutanant w/ friend request for the two weeks until GTA Online launches. Then I don't plan on doing any upgrades or whatever, I'll just let everyone else upgrade per the heirarchy. All of you who have joined up by the end of the tonight are basically mods anyway.

Also if you're on the fence due to my tyrannical ruling methods, you can join multiple crews.

I joined but since it required a 6 letter entry for a username I used my old Live ID: Rogbib

I joined. Will be playing on the 360.

Any comparisons yet PS3 vs 360? I'm leaning PS3 since I have a 60gb (vs 20gb) hdd.

I joined (ObligatoryName).
My PS3 tag is SPECIALporpoise

Sadly, ASSMAN was already taken as a license plate so I had to go with my second choice, GROUCHO.

Yeah, after finally completing the story in GTA IV earlier this year, my expectations for this one have been fully in check. I hope to be blown away, though!

So the license plates are exclusive to you? If so I'm pretty happy that i was able to get the one i wanted.

Are you able to walk into Gamestop tonight at midnight and buy it you didn't preorder?

I doubt it, Gamestop has been known to go all Assad on its customers for not following their every command.

Hear walmart might be easier to pick it up tonight.

I'd try Wal-Mart but I'm afraid most stores wouldn't hurry and put it out at midnight.

So the license plate you can only create one for? Is it unique?

If you can find the one haggard-looking employee within echo distance of the Wal-Mart electronics department at midnight and repeat the title of the game three or four times, they can reluctantly get you a copy out of a box even if it's not in the display yet.

Seems to be. I tried getting LWYRUP and THECAPN from Breaking Bad and they were taken. I didn't even bother trying OUTATIME, ECTO1 etc. I wanted the one I got anyway, I just had to figure out a way to bypass the censor.

How long does it take? to approve or deny your plates? and how many do you get?

You get one license plate and approval is instant.

No Android App

You get to customize the first car that Franklin starts out with via the iFruit app and it seems to just be kinda locked-in waiting for you to start the game. The license plate selection is part of the customization.

There's also a minigame in which you play with Chop the dog and try to boost his morale and teach him tricks and stuff.

I tried "ALLONSY" but it was taken. I tried "TARDIS" but "TARD" is a restricted word. I ended up going with "DRDAN", Dr. Dan being my college nickname.

I haven't figured out how you get money to buy things for the dog.

I got my license plate....
