Or you could wait and buy it on the PC. It's not like EVERY OTHER GAME in the series was on the PC.

Wow, thanks Awdax, I've got an AMD 6770 and a Phenom quad core and I had pretty bad FPS even on lowest - this will probably at least let me run it on medium well. Thanks.

Also I'm not up-to-date on this stuff, is GTA V getting a PC port?

They probably will, they always have. Before someone brings up the whole Red Dead Redemption thing - the game's code was a horrible mess, on top of that it was a completely different branch from Rockstar - San Diego. Rockstar has always ported their GTA games, why should they stop now?

I'd rather get it on a console instead of having to wait six months or longer to play it and not have it spoiled, then just buy it again on the PC when it's on sale or something.

The problem is, the main GTA games have never done as great as console sales have gone. this is probably why they don't want to put the extra effort into porting it. Although they most likely still will.

Here's a comparison for IV:

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/7103/grand-theft-auto-iv/ -- Xbox360, 10.25m
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/7102/grand-theft-auto-iv/ -- PS3, 9.71m
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/25503/grand-theft-auto-iv/-- PC, .73m

Although that's still 730,000 sales, it's a lot harder to optimize games for PC with all the different hardware, which is why it's easier to make games for consoles.
