Can't use the word "buy" if you can't actually buy the thing.

Bro, you don’t get it.

My preorder tells Rockstar that I am okay with them charging the most for the opportunity to rent the game from them while I pay them additional money for multiplayer. It also means that I can preload the game, because I have been conditioned to have 0 patience, and the thought of waiting to give Rockstar more of my time and money hurts me physically.

Let me have this bro. Please. If I spend the equivalent of a weeks worth of groceries on a game that is going to essentially be the same game as the last game, I can finally feel something for a brief moment.

Didn't forget, on PlayStation if you download (even pre-orders) you can't refund it!

So if you buy it and download it now, you don't have to deal with those pesky reviews.
