"Grand Theft Auto 5 fans have been advised to purchase the PS3 retail version over the PSN digital download. Downloading the game from the PlayStation Store not only comes at a high price, according to Eurogamer, but also with delayed textures and pop-in.      &amp;quot;Cutting rapidly across several areas, the digital version has ground textures popping in half a second late - plus delays in the drawing of shadow maps and objects like grass,&amp;quot; reads the report. &amp;quot;For the disc release, these issues don&amp;#039;t manifest to nearly the same extent, with the odd delay in rendering a plant or chair being the worst we see during several retrials.  &amp;quot;As compared to playing the 360 release with both discs installed to its HDD, the digital PS3 release isn&amp;#039;t quite as nefarious with its object draw - but it&amp;#039;s enough to take you out of the moment.&amp;quot; The issues are &amp;quot;less glaring&amp;quot; when playing with a Western Digital 500GB HDD PS3, but the report ultimately advises sticking to the Blu-ray version.  The same site previously advised purchasing the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto 5 over its Xbox 360 counterpart for the best possible performance. GTA 5 is out now on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and has become the fastest-selling game in UK history. The game received over two million mentions on Twitter in a 24-hour period surrounding its release, and has been tipped by bookmakers to become one of the biggest-selling games of all time. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s GTA 5 review Watch a trailer for GTA 5 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
