Installed through the 7 DVDs yesterday. Took about an hour. Suprisingly, I had to use the DVD drive for the first time since I bought the computer in Sept 2013 even though I had received a number of CE boxes of Kickstarter games which also come with the DVDs.
Took another 6 hours to download the 5Gig data and 300mb patch at my usual 320kb/sec through Rockstar Social Club, played the game for like 1/2 hour before it's 2AM and I had to go to sleep for work. Which meant I had no problems with Social Club yesterday, probably a benefit of living on the other side of the globe while most of the other gamers are asleep.
They're saying the port's pretty good, 60 FPS consistently at high or max graphics settings. In my short playthrough, I didn't have any lag.
Retail box is at least pleasant and satisfying to the touch. Also comes with a big waxed paper map.
Oh and since I pre-ordered the shopkeeper gave me a $7 local dollar discount, which makes it 2 local dollars cheaper than buying on steam. Consider that a win since I get the box and the map and I pay less and I don't have to download 55gigs of data which will definitely take about 3 weeks.
