I give Rockstar a lot of crap for taking forever to get things out to the public, but I always highlight their good points as well. Rockstar gets their fans; they know that people are tired of waiting for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. They also know how to make the wait worthwhile. Back when the game was nearing release for the PS4 and Xbox One, I presented the question as to why console gamers would buy this game at full price and in many cases buy it again. Rockstar went a long way to make the San Andreas experience a fresh one for gamers. While the game content will be the same on PC that it was for those new consoles, Rockstar is dripping just a bit more honey to make up for the long wait PC gamers have had to endure.
If you pre-order Grand Theft Auto V via the Rockstar Warehouse by February 1, 2015 (15% deposit aka $9 USD), you will receive the one million dollar bonus previously given to console gamers (split 50/50 between story and online modes).
