Want to buy gta v
Im about to buy the gta v premium online edition bundle, so my question is that if I buy this, I'm gonna install it on my laptop, I'm gonna buy a new pc later, so can i play from my new pc later on? Will I still have the benefits or the premium online version?

If you buy the game it will be bound to your Steam account forever just like any other Steam game. When you get your new PC, just sign into your account on there and install the game and you can continue playing.

Personally I would wait for a sale - GTA V is discounted fairly regularly and although it's about £25-$30 right now, you could easily pick it up for half that reduced. It was 50% off two weeks ago and chances are it'll be reduced again in the coming weeks if you aren't in a hurry.

Just to be abundantly clear here.

I play on all platforms, and use various online services. I have no particular bias towards one or another.

If you buy a game on Steam it is bound to YOUR ACCOUNT, not your hardware. Just like if you bought a game on PSN, and your PS4 went kaput, buying another PS4 would mean you just download your games again. It's exactly the same.

Before I retired a few years ago, I would use one hard drive to bung my current Steam games on and play them on one of my PCs at home, or at work. Same account, same games. Now I' just use the one laptop. Again though, different computer.

So now the other part of your question.

If you haven't played online GTA on the PS4, then it's very much another game in itself. It is utterly worth the money if you're into online play. More so on the PC, as while there's a whole host of daft things to do on the PS4 online, the PC will ALWAYS have the larger choice of mods for obvious reasons.

But I echo James' point here - wait for a sale.

GTA 5 on PC is a completely different experience to PS4. Better performance, better visuals and especially the mods can make this game so much better than the vanilla version.

Always a pleasure :)

And why are you copying my post and trying to pass it off as your own?

Also, you can refund the game if you are not satisfied with it for whatever reason you have.

Correction, you can TRY.

The point is you are free to do so, but you only have the automated refund if you fulfil the rule of 2 weeks/2 hours. Other than that, it's down to extenuating circumstance.

I'm only over egging the pudding on this because myths spread REALLY easily on here - look at how many posts on any thread are just nonsense people posting a for community badge that no longer exists as part of it.

I really should have put "try" on my comment because when I said "can", it makes it sound somewhat wrong. But thanks for correcting me, no offense intended.
