Grand Theft Auto V’s pre-load has gone live on the PlayStation 4 prior to the re-release’s launch next week, but a handful of users are complaining about problems tied to the early download. Apparently, for some, the file is prompting error codes ‘CE-37700-7’ or ‘CE-36249-4’, though we can’t seem to find a solution for the issue yet. If you’re having this setback, your best bet is probably to wait and see if it rights itself later in the day – or contact Sony support. We’ll keep you updated.
Assuming that you can pull down the title, you’ll also need to grab its launch day patch, which means that you’re going to be eating up a lot of bandwidth over the coming hours. Fortunately, the ability to download prior to release means that you should be ready by the time that the title unlocks on 18th November. Will you be returning to Los Santos next week, or did you have your fill of the sandbox on the PlayStation 3? Attempt to download in the comments section below.

I am absolutely shocked there are problems.
At this point you have to
While I'm waiting for the games to arrive, on problem free last gen.
I'm still waiting for DA:I pre-load to activate. Then I'm going to buy FarCry4 digital and pre-load that today. I'm buying GTA:V on disc.
@Punished_Boss_84 lol I like that animated bit (Gif? cant remember what there calld lol)
@Gamer83 lol Im sure that was sarcasm. It seems par for the course these days and its not just PlayStation. My X1 has had its fair share of game related issues/bugs.
Absolutely no issues downloading the game or the patch. The pre-order file for $1m cash gives an error but so far that's all. I assume it hasn't gone live on the store yet.
Not worried to much, I bought Destiny digitaly and I was online as soon as the countdown hit 0 with that game so hopefully i'll be spending my $1.000.000 at about 5 past midnight >
@WARDIE
No doubt it's across both consoles. I paid $60 to beta test Halo MCC for 343. Can't thank them enough for that.
@Punished_Boss_84 I learned last night that last gen is not quite so problem-free as I remember. 5 hours to down load Dead Island and Riptide. Nightmares.
@xMEADx No no, next gen downloads go lightning fast for me. I said LAST gen, as in I went back to PS3 for the night to play DEAD Island. Dont worry though, I understand your confusion! Haha
Yeah sorry man I just deleted it as your post went up :< I miss read
@Gamer83 exactly, there won't be any problems with the Monday evening PSN downtime circus either. Sony are beyond stupid, national holidays are Mondays and new games are mostly released on Tuesdays, idiots.
Let me go check on my preload status
Still nothing here, just the countdown time. ( I'm in California, US )
Same here GusCrevelari, except I'm EST (Toronto).
Apparently people in North America don't get to preload until 2pm.
Preloads for Europeans started last night (confirmed).
I got it, but it downloads only 606 MB ? Update file is actually bigger than the actual game. -.- Does someone knows why ?
Probably error ing out because everyone and their mother are trying to download this right now! So freaking excited!!!!!!!!
@GusCrevelari yeah it downloads the 600mb then u see it by ur other games and it downloads the rest in the background.
Mine downloaded just fine along with the patch.
@Totaldude911
No problems around my schedule, I might add.
Downloading games at those gas prices? Ha ha no.
once you download the 2 small files you need to select the game form the main lobby and press the options button and go to information to see the progress in the main file...for some reason that information is not showed in the downloads screen
@sikwitsheeo u go to the game press the options button then information then it should say how much u have pre-loaded
Mine finished downloading on my Ps4 Walks away flipping everybody off
I'm still trying to decide if I should buy digital or physical. I want to download it but I worry about network problems or errors like these that some people are having already.
If you buy digital on ps4 and then say your internet goes down, can you still play your game?
@tenderbeefcake of course.
Just not the online components for obvious reasons.
Why am i not surprised...
Just like to add that i'm glad the PS+ store has stuck to a reasonable price for GTA and not been tempted to stick an extra £10 on the price for good measure (as per usual), it's £55 on the store and £50 in the shops so an extra £5 and I dont have to actualy go anywhere to get it, a cool 1 mill in the bank AND I get to play at bang on midnight. I'd like to see them cheaper obviously as there's no disc so whats the cost to sony etc etc but for once I feel like I got a half decent deal from the PS store.
Sorry thats two decent deals this year from the PS store (won't mention the second) and before people think i'm sucking up i'd like to add that two decent deals in a year from the PS store is nowhere near good enough and heavily outnumbered by the sucky deals, but still the GTA package is a gooden for once
@Bally50 Sorry but I don't understand it. How can I see the the progress of the download? Florianopolis, Brazil.
@ifritzen press the options button when on ur home screen hovering over the game, then then go to information it says the amount u downloaded there
@Bally50 thanx!
