    finally i can actually pay for the hookers instead of just killing them

    • -3

      Its not real money.

      Lucky your not in jail yet 😅

    • Did you do something random to hookers right after you killed them?

    • You can do it in-game now too!

  • +3

    Do people still play this game? and are hackers are still very present?
    its very annoying to log in and find every 2nd player has a bulletproof car,

    • +5

      Go buy yourself and armoured car then instead of complaining online

      • +13

        I can't afford an armoured car…thats why I am here on ozbargain.

    • +12

      Bulletproof cars can still be destroyed by explosives. I think you mean invincible cars.

      • +3

        yep invincible, driving all up in my grill.

    • +2

      They deal with the hackers in waves.. So you'll go through periods where it's rare to see one for a couple of months, and then they all start showing up again.

      I mainly race in it these days, and the hackers don't really impact on my playing of the game.

  • +14

    250k isn't much at all. I haven't touched this game for a while and the extremely long load times is the thing that is keeping me away.

    • I hear running it off an SSD helps to a small degree (although a lot of loading is done by connecting to their server)

      • +2

        I know but that's not it unfortunately because I have it installed on an M2 SSD which has speeds up to 2.5GB/s and still encounter those issues.

        • Well that's unfortunate

          It's obviously the connection to the server that's the problem for you :/

  • +4

    Awwww, no Xbox 360 love :(

    • +9

      Awwww, no PS3 love :(

      • +4

        Awwww, no Atari love :(

        • +3

          No C64 either :|

        • +1

          no love ?

        • Considering they are celebrating 3 years of GTA Online, and the only consoles it's been available on for that long are PS3 and 360, I think it's pretty reasonable to expect they would be included the offer.

          I'm not sure what argument you have for Atari being included, but I'd love to hear it ;)

        • @clarkey: ummmm… I'm pretty sure atari and ps4 pro are from the same era if this trailer is anything to go by..

  • +1

    Wow $250,000. So rich. Good old virtual game currency.

    • +3

      1 billion is 10x max cash how were you close

    • +10

      This is for online where there are no stocks

  • Whats the population like on this game havnt played it since 2013

    • On PC, 55k concurrent players yesterday according to steam spy: https://steamspy.com/app/271590

      • and that's only counting people who bought it on Steam. Everyone who bought retail or digital literally anywhere else outside of Steam does not count on those Steam stats since they get a rockstar social club key.

  • +4

    if only the title stopped at Free 250K.

    • +33

      I can send you $250k, but it's coming from overseas, so you just need to pay the $6,000 taxes in order to be able to do that. If you're interested, please send me a copy of your Driver's Licence, and a copy of your Credit Card (front and back)

      • +12

        oh wow I knew this internet thingy would pay for itself one day!!!

      • +8

        Nigeria?

      • +5

        I'll be honest, I WAS very interested, until I realised that you're not of any noble lineage (a prince, etc). As such, I cannot trust your legitimacy, and will not be taking you up on your most generous offer.

  • I remember the glitch to get free money. Still works if you dont update?

  • +2

    damn I have it on PS3 :(

  • +4

    I don't have a maze account can they just deposit into my westpac account?

  • Weighing free virtual money against potential 5gb+ update and 10 minute loading screen..

    • Word.

    • +2

      If you have Liberal NBN that'll only take 3 weeks to download.

  • +3

    My inner OzBargain is telling me to endure the 6(?) disc installation process and watching the loading screen from the clouds for what amounts to a single heist's worth of $$ or just forget and move on from this game…

  • +1

    Purchased this way back when dse was still alive.

    Put it in recently and the fun i had was makng the extra 8 gb of free space for all the updates.

    Adsl 2 is so much awesome

    • Yeah I was lucky to get it for $20 for XB1 in the clearance sales. Value still hasn't dropped below that!

      • +1

        Picked mine up for $10 also diablo 3 expansion pack, skyrim with all dlcs and another game i cant remember what it is… all 10 bucks each.

    • +2

      It's the new part of the Governments MTM NBN….FTTE - Fibre To The Exchange…congratulations you now have NBN

    • +11

      Because currency in online mode costs real money. So getting it for free = saving real life money.

    • If you're like me and love the game but haven't logged in since Forza 3 came out, it's very welcome! It saves either in-game time grinding, or purchasing shark cards.. So it's money / time saved.

  • Don't even play the online anymore with all the hackers… occasionally I'll play the story mode.

  • Jesus Christ has it already been three years? Time really does fly :o

    • Release Date: 14 Apr, 2015

      For the PC version which is what I have it on. I don't really know if I count the 360/PS3 releases as they play a lot differently to the XB1/PS4/PC release.

  • "…and to commemorate three years of GTA V, we're continuing to award absolutely no DLC whatsoever. We're concentrating on Red Dead Redemption 2 now so get over it."

    • +3

      Bikies DLC came out only a month ago didn't it?

      And that's not bad, DLC 3 years after release, and for free! Name another company that does that these days?!

      • +2

        I'm talking about GTA V the single player game, as opposed to GTA Online which seems to get new DLC every 72hrs :D

      • Diablo 3.

        • Sweet! How did you get Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls free?

        • @rompastompa: It has received tonnes of DLC other than Reaper of Souls? DLC =/= Expansion

  • Looks like I'll be disabling all the mods to get it.

  • +1

    Haven't played since 360 days. Just checked my account online and I have 30m still sitting there

  • +2

    No Love for PS3?

  • what can 250k do for? Can't even get the color of the freaking yacht

    • You pick one of the most expensive examples in the game, GG.

  • The Halloween update will have 30% off certain vehicles and other items from past DLC.

  • Anyone decent on ps4 and keen for a battle?

  • I stopped playing since i can never afford all the fancy new toys lol

  • Thinking of upgrading all my vehicles in the garage with this free cash.
    Have 8 cars and 2 bikes lying around:)

  • +3

    Game load screen and floating in the sky simulator 2016

  • Lots of bitching in here about this game. For those who haven't played in some time, the experience has improved markedly over recent times. The loading between races is still more than most games, but if that's all you have against it than its your loss

  • Did anyone have issues getting back in their online profile after a lengthy hiatus from playing GTAV?

  • Where's the money for ps3 players. Stuff you rockstar.

    Still lots of ppl with the old gen consoles. You have forgotten all your supporters that gets you to this day
