Pushing aside GTA 5 April Fools' teases, the release date has been confirmed to still be on September 17, so it's still a good five months away. But Xbox 360 players have a great reason to pre-order their copy now.

According to Computer and Video Games, Microsoft is offering 1600 MS Points free to those who will be pre-ordering the GTA 5 through the official Microsoft Store website.

The only catch is that the available pre-orders are only defined to be offered "while supplies" last, and the lucky few who do get their free MS points will be notified through email within 10 days of the game's shipping. The points will be valid until December 31 this year.

PS3 players should not fret, because Rockstar Warehouse also has an offer for pre-orders. As per its official website, a pre-order of the GTA 5 PS3 version will allow you free release day shipping, as well as a KIFFLOM tee. The offer is valid while supplies last, and applicable only to pre-orders in North America.

Jeff Wincott announced as GTA 5 voice actor

Last week, the official GTA 5 box art made waves first as a mural over Manhattan and finally as the full official release.

This week, the GTA 5 official Facebook page announced that Jeff Wincott will be a voice actor in GTA 5. His character was revealed to be a "Casey," but when asked for further details, Wincott replied that he was not allowed to talk about it.

Wincott played the role of Detective Frank Giambone in Night Heat, a crime drama TV series back in '89, and also had stints in One Tree Hill and Sons of Anarchy.

Hopefully, there will be more news on the characters that will be appearing for GTA 5. In the meantime, here's the latest official trailer from Rockstar Games.

Get the GTA Kubrick Collectibles

To try and appease the long wait, Rockstar Games has announced that its collection of GTA Trilogy Kubrick Collectibles is now available at the Rockstar Warehouse. In an announcement in the Rockstar Newswire, the stock includes San Andreas, which makes its first time debut at the warehouse and includes Carl "CJ" Johnson, Officer Tenpenny, Big Smoke, Ryder, and The Truth.

Vice City Kubrick Box set is also making a re-issue appearance for its 10th anniversary, with the set including Tommy Vercetti, Candy Suxxx, Lance Vance, Ricardo Diaz, and Ken Rosenberg.

GTA 3 is also on sale with only 200 pieces added to the originally 3,000 released worldwide. You can get 8-ball, Claude, Donald Love, Musty, and Salvatore Leone for this set.

According to Rockstar Games' official website, the collection is on a special sale for a limited time, wherein buyers can enjoy 15% slashed off the entire order of any of the aforementioned Kubrick box set--plus you'll get a Rockstar keychain as a bonus, too.

The sale lasts only until April 12, so act fast.
