GTA 5 to be digital only game?
"Speaking out loud might harm the relationship with retail partners, but the benefits have become too large to remain silent about the desire to go completely digital. The ultimate objective being to launch games faster, create continuous revenues on a title and simply to make more money.
"Will retail disappear from the picture? Of course not," he continued. "Retail will always remain an important channel to promote and distribute games. Retail has a strong hand to play when it comes to eyeballs and... boxes make a nice gift.
"Boxed games will not disappear, but what is in the box will. That is why the boxed GTA V version will contain a collectible piece of merchandise and a download code. No disc."
Would you be happy for GTA V to be a download only title, or do you still love having your games on a physical disc?
Tomorrow's debut GTA V trailer should finally reveal the much speculated about setting for the game, which is rumoured to be based on real-world Los Angeles.

think every1 is forgetting that if you have to redeem the game then therefore it is going to be a lot of gig to store it since installing GTA IV alone is 6gb so this is making people update xboxs to bigger memory 1's (reason they bought out 320gb xbox's?? :) so therefore they want us to spend more money again! D: but i will admit the GTA5 trailer looks AMAZING!!! :D

Its good but peoples internet is to slow and some people still have the 20 gb HDD so they should rethink bout doing this

There is a problem with this what about people with out HDD they will not be able To Play but then again that will probably be a way for console companies to make money People will need bigger storage and Bigger storage=More Cash For them

The gaming industry isn't ready for this kind of revolution just yet, why? Simple, a lot of countries in which these games sell highly, still have large regions where the internet speed is simply too low, and where HDD storage is a cost too high.
