Miami-Dade County has agreed a promotional package worth about $3.9 million: pink and blue lighting at Miami International Airport and on PortMiami's cranes, airport walkway displays and the game's gradient on traffic-signal boxes. The figure reportedly includes the "Welcome to Vice City" sign already on the Kaseya Center, and the deal has its critics locally.

Rockstar told Edge that GTA V's day length made the far more detailed world feel rushed, so days, nights, sunrises and sunsets were stretched. Traffic and the wider simulation were also slowed and roads made narrower. No exact day length has been given.

Stealing a supercar? Watch out for the tracker
According to the Edge preview, expensive recent cars can carry trackers that alert the police, so you have to shake off any pursuers before the drop-off. Older models open with basic tools, while newer ones need gear unlocked as the story goes on, and a phone app lists the cars fences are after.

Community: real buildings from a tiny Georgia town?
Map hunters say two buildings in one of the new Edge screenshots closely match real buildings in Gay, Georgia, a town of around a hundred people some 900 km from Miami. Some fans take it as a sign the map reaches into Georgia; others, GameGPU among them, see real architecture borrowed for fictional Leonida. Rockstar hasn't commented.
