It seems that GTA V was available for pre-order on European PSN on October 2nd. The entry has been deleted, but the website gameplane.de managed to screenshot the download list on their PS4, which reveals, that GTA V may be released two weeks early für Sonys platform.
In addition another entry revealed that there will be more bonuses than just the already known MP Pre-Order Cash Bonus.
A Former Rockstar dev has revealed that they were making a GTA 5 DLC, but it was scrapped since GTA Online was such a "cash cow," though it wasn't a total waste as parts of it made its way to GTA Online.
What a damn shame. Sinfmgle player dlc could've been so dope but nope fk you single player guys.
Perfect reason why I'm against single player games having multiplayer attached. Eat up more resources
Honestly sucks they couldnt do something for SP dlc. It wouldnt hurt their bottom line at all to do.
GTA 5's story mode deserves more attention.
Sure the story mode which got a 97 metacritic isn't as bad as people think. Stupid ass article.
I think I did not see even one thought out piece by this site named tech4gamers yet. Nope..no approvals for this nonsense from me.
The only bad about it is that there isn't any more! Cancelled story dlc to make online stuff... But hopefully gta 6 will be a great adventure again.
A major story DLC for GTA V was canceled as a result of its online component, GTA Online, becoming a "cash cow", based on the latest report.
GTA 4 had stellar extra content. Kind of annoys me they really only pay mind to online elements with their games anymore. They have the money and manpower to offer both to players.
Yeah, they didn't make enough money to make a story DLC...CEO's had to get those bonuses...
If this is true, I see a sh**storm in the near future.

Though, if they want to bring it out a full two weeks early, Im not going to argue. I preordered it today via PSN... So I am ready to download it, whenever they upload it. :)
Does anyone know if there is going to be a upgrade program to upgrade my ps3 version to a ps4 version??
I hope it's true. I'll need more time to play Far Cry 4!
Could be. I copied this from the official Playstation Blog:
"Today, I’m excited to announce that if you pre-order Grand Theft Auto V from PlayStation Store by November 3rd, you’ll receive an additional $300K for Grand Theft Auto Online..."
November 3rd is one day before the rumored PS4 release date LOLL.
