I generally wait until the last minute as there are always deals online for anywhere between $10-30 off.

From what I've seen Rockstar doesn't seem to discount right before release...even steam sales don't seem to feature Rockstar games often

I don't believe that is true. I've seen gta4 featured many times as well as LA Noire and Bully.

Bully and gta 4 came out in 2008, and LA Noire in 2011. 6 and 3 years old... That's quite a bit of time. Obviously those are gonna be on sale after being out for so long.

Gta 5 won't be on sale for awhile after release.. I'm not sure what you meant by " wait til the last minute". If you mean waiting awhile then yes you'll be able to get it at a discounted price. If you mean last minute as in right before release I doubt you'll see a price drop.

This is just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt.

Has there been any more recent Rockstar games to compare against that are on PC?

My point is I don't preorder at full price, I should have specified that. I've gotten many games in the last week prior to release for between 20-50% off (most recent was titan fall for $30 and watch dogs for $35)

Gotcha.. I still don't see Rockstar discounting their pride and joy before the actual release date. But we will shall see. If it's discounted I'll cancel my preorder.
 
I personally can't wait for this. Been holding onto my X360 a wee bit longer to keep access to the game but this might be that turning point where I can get rid of it. With newer versions or re-mastered games coming out here in the near future for a few items. No point into holding onto them. Time to move forward.

Question is weather I will get it for the console or the PC. Undecided, but I know the mods for the PC have been great with GTA IV. Just not sure I want to deal with the hassle of it.

I would say pc. Probably higher resolution... More fps and more graphic options.. I doubt new consoles will run max graphic settings, with 1080p, and Maintain 60 fps. Not to mention 2560x1440. Although I don't know how beast your pc is....

Plus mods mods mods :D

I still see it for nearly half off purchasing elsewhere ;) Aside from the mistake that was BF4, I have not paid full price ON RELEASE for any modern titles. I'd be willing to bet this will be up at G2A and other sites for at least $20 off the regular retail price of $60. Similar sites will also have it for a heavily discounted price, just make sure the codes are not region locked and good to go ;)

Rockstar branding means nothing.

I would say PC as well with a heavy emphasis on if the port is done well or not. I believe I read that GTA5 on PS4 will be 1080p/60 and would surely look fantastic. The option of modding is nice though on the PC side (assuming it is available of course).
