Grand Theft Auto 5 pre-orders detailed, second trailer incoming

Grand Theft Auto 5 is getting some kitschy keychains, travel brochures, and posters as pre-order bonuses. Stores will begin accepting pre-orders on Monday, and the game launches next spring.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has gotten a release window of spring 2013, and pre-orders will start next Monday. And like any big-budget release, Rockstar is offering some bits of swag in exchange for your promise to buy the game. Apparently early pre-orders will get photo viewer keychains.

You might recognize the kitschy keychain style from various tourist traps, but these show off the iconic locales of the fictional city Los Santos. IGN reports that at least four different keychains have been spotted, along with travel brochures. GameStop also has a double-sided poster as part of its goodies.

If you're less interested in bits and baubles and just want to see more of the game, don't worry; that's on the way soon too. A Rockstar spokesman said a second trailer is planned for release soon, but a power outage at its New York office due to Hurricane Sandy has made it hard to pin down a date. Stupid nature!

      I'm more interested in what they will be offering for their Limited Edition version. I like the Limited Edition for GTA IV and more than likely will pick up a Limited Edition for GTA V, not too interested in the pre-order bonuses. Can't wait to see the second trailer though. Hope everyone on the East Coast who was/is affected by the Sandy are hanging in there.

      You really have to hand it to Rockstar for managing the brand integrity of GTA in the way they have. We're over 10 years since the franchise broke out with GTA3, and every game in the series has felt like a legitimate creative, technical undertaking on their part. There are very few game series that can say the same.

      WTF is it with developers & cover art? Management: "Here's an idea, let's copy Borderlands!"
