Grand Theft Auto V goes on sale in Spain – report

Remember the days when getting hold of a game early was as easy as popping down to your local indie? These are not those days.

Unless you’re Spanish. A report on the Spanish version of Gamereactor reckons that a number of chains have put the game on sale today.

The validity of these claims can’t be verified, although a picture of said game on said Spanish shelves has been posted on NeoGaf. Discussions about its Photoshoppedness are ongoing.

Closer to home, members of the PlayStation Europe forum are getting very cross indeed about the game’s failure to become available for pre-load today as previously promised by PSN.

The thread comes complete with statements such as If they give us false information I will take legal proceeding against them” so do enjoy the carnage.

Elsewhere on the internet punters are vigorously debating whether Amazon’s dispatch emails mean they’ll get their game tomorrow even though past experience suggests that either Royal Mail or Amazon will safely keep hold of the discs until the day before release.
