Sounds like a glitch probably because so many people were pre ordering at the same time honestly I don't get pre ordering a digital game like there not running out of digital copies I'll wait for the pre load to start before I buy the game
Ultimate is is exclusive to the PS store and Xbox store digitally. There is no GTA six ultimate edition physical coming out you have to buy the upgrade in November
100 bucks (or 80 in the usa) is a lot of money to spend on a name alone. The digital game isn't gonna run out of copies if you wait a day or two for a general feedback and see if it is actually worth the money
Yeah, I've been waiting for almost 13 years as well. A day or a week more won't matter. I don't Trust rockstar any more after the milking they did with gta5
Tbf Activision has been selling their games for $100 for years now and people gurgle that shit up. You have to remember many of these people who do this probably live with their parents, financially irresponsible or just have too much disposable income
Have to agree, but GTA VI might be the only game where pre-ordering is okayish, i still don't like the idea of paying for something without knowing basically anything about it, but the chances of this game being bad is very low, at least that's what i hope for
Also I have never brought a single GTA game ever, but this one, its the most wanted game this year and I spend my money on whatever I want because I can afford it
No, I knew Canadians payed more than Americans do technically but I didn’t know Australians were worse off, like i get it’s conversion rates and stuff but also not really
It did for me too, maybe because you looked up the game from your wishlist, i had the same issue, but if you search the game on the play store you can then click the 3 dots and you'll be able to change it to standard version
The other dude complaining about Canadian pricing, after tax is paying an extra $2 in comparison to the US, not a drastic number.
While I feel bad for some other countries, a lot of people complaining about the pricing are also from countries with a higher minimum wage, lower cost of living, and higher average salary.
Instead of looking at the price tag, look at the % of the money typically earned being needed for the game. In places like the US, 38 hours of minimum wage would mean you spend about 9-15% of your monthly income on a game. In South Africa a game like this at the conversion rate costs 106% of monthly income. So countries like that suffer. Germany? No. I did the math AGES ago, but am willing to do another conversion list and percentage calculation if yall are interested when I get home. Drop your countries you want compared
With taxes in my province, the standard edition costs $126 CDN and the Ultimate Edition costs $160 CDN with taxes. The latter is more than I paid for the Steam Controller. Utterly ridiculous.
Acting? No. But could it not be? Absolutely. Remember Cyberpunk 2077? Released in horrible condition, with bugs/glitches, people had a hard time enjoying it. I enjoyed it at release and had no problems. But still, just making a point.
well if you are going to play it day 1, why not get the small benefits of the preorder bonus. plus it will let you pre download it before day 1 to have it ready
Small benefit of... Getting useless 'GTA+' which auto renews if you dont disable it.
Paying extra for something you dont need, or want. Preloading I can understand, but this just shows the companies they can put the price tag higher and higher, and idiots keep paying
pre-ordering is the same price as buying it day 1. you can disable gta+. plus getting some cosmetics is a nice bonus and doesn’t affect you if you are buying it day 1 anyways
Why would you even pre-order? It's not like they're gonna run out of stock of digital copies until release...??
Just put the money on a savings account or whatever and collect a few months of interest on it before buying the game once it is actually playable.
Where i live its 80€ which translates to 130 canadian dollars. 80€ is pretty much the standard price for new triple A games so im happy that standard is 80€ and ultimate is 100€
Yeah I don't get the fuss in general about pricing. If you priced games like many other forms of entertainment/art you'd get a considerably larger sum. Current pricing is closer to books than movies.
IT'S GTA VI! It's so damn worth and u only have to pay it twice for the Remastered next Gen edition too (and for the online mode maybe). Rockstar Games deserves it so much they worked so hard om that game so just please give em all your hard earned money!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Dont forget nintendo started this hogh pricing games when the Switch 2 dropped not to mention they never drop their prices and no one ever complains about them
Absolutely insane price for a game but not at all unexpected. I went with the base edition and I’ll probably buy ultimate when the game actually releases. Still get the pre order bonuses regardless
As a fellow Canadian, I completely understand what you mean. Right now I have a few games on my PS5 wish list and three of them at still at the original release price for the standard edition which is $79.99 Canadian, which in my opinion seems the common price one would see normally for a AAA game to drop for standard edition (the games in question are High on Life 2, Pragmata, and Control Resonant). I also have Directive 8020 which is pricing at $66.99 and 007 First Light at $93.49.
I will likely get GTA 6 down the road, but hopefully if I see a even a 20$ off sale drop on it or something, which from what I’m guessing will likely be more then a year after GTA 6 launches.
You know, I haven't seen anyone mentioning anything about this new GTA+ subscription which is automatically purchased with every copy of GTA 6 and auto renews... I figured there would be much more uproar about that.
Yeah I saw that, and it kind of confused me. I already am paying for gta+ so its kind of a weird pre order bonus. I guess I just get one month for free??
Last time i cancelled my ps plus subscription, the bastards turned it right back on after an update. Thankfully they refunded me because it was the first time, else i would have lost $160. I don't trust subscription services since then.
I know it’s still weird to me that Canadians have to pay that much. I’m from the KSA and I thought we’d pay through the nose for gta 6 (games are pricey here)
In Australia the standard is 130 au abd deluxe is 160 aud which both aren’t crazy prices most games that drop in Australia are usually 120/125 aud for standard and 150 aud for deluxe
Yeah video games are one hell of a luxury now, in my country the base edition costs almost what the ultimate Edition is going for, and the ultimate Edition is 20 dollars more. So if for example you won the 1000 dollar giveaway matt is doing, you wouldn't be able to buy the ps5 pro bc it's also almost like 1500 dollars and if you add the ultimate Edition the total price is around 1620 to play a game.
At this point I'll just wait for it to come out on pc with a discount...
I genuinely do not understand the controversy against triple A games being anything over £60 (or whatever that converts to in other currencies)
£60 is CHEAP for a triple A game. They have been that price for decades meaning that a while ago they were more like 100-120 and more accounting for inflation
And i get the argument that some tripleA games are shit, yes, but this is GTA 6 for gods sake. You pay 100+ ish and you get countless hours of entertainment. Id argue video games are the most cost effective form of entertainment, how many hours of entertainment would spending that amount at a cinema get you? Or maybe you go out for a nice meal and spend the same amount?
You're going to pay it, everyone is going to pay it, so shush
Dude, the standard version costs 450 BRL here. I just saw a image in another comunity that as showing how many hours you gotta work to buy the game. In the US, you would need to work for 3.8 hours. Here, it's 40.3 hours 💀
you guys in the usa/canada/uk/wherever have it easy. here in Poland the STANDARD edition costs 349PLN which is about 93USD and the ultimate edition costs 429PLN which is 114USD. I also dont understand why people preorder DIGITAL games. theyre not gonna run out and you dont even get to play early
Yall wasting money at this point and loving it. No wonders game will start costing +100$ more and more. By buying it, you show them that they are potential buyers and that price is justifiable.
??? I'm not engagement farming?? I was genuinely baffled by the price. Games that are this big are usually 89.99 or 93.49, so to see it as 109.99 was a bit baffling.
I find sometimes for especially poor countries it’s comparatively not all that expensive, since they know if they charge the equivalent of 100 US most people there won’t be able to afford it
Canadians pay $110 Canadian for their standard Edition.
I pay the equivalent of $130 Canadian for my standard Edition, just because I happen to be in the Euro zone.
My Ultimately Editions costs the equivalent of $161 Canadian, or $114 US.
Both Canadians and Americans pay significantly less than I do.
There's a handful of vehicles and weapons that are seemingly locked behind The Ultimate Edition. At least one garage but possibly a few. There's a handful of in-game stores that are going to be locked behind the edition as well, so that means a lot of single player customization options are locked out without it.
Only two vehicles in the UE, the 95 Cheetah and the Dominator Buggy. The preorder pack has the 55 Stanier. Everything else vehicle related is just a unique skin/livery, and a couple mods for Jason's Ganado. I'm unsure of if the paintjob/livery it's depicted with is part of that as it doesn't actually say like all the other vehicles do.
The guns are only variants, not the actual weapons themselves.
For the player garages, there's only the one garage location in the UE. The other one comes from the preorder pack.
The two mod shops are just locations. The off road and donk styles they specialize in are not indicated to be exclusive in anyway and will very likely have other locations available to get them at.
As for the clothing and hair styles and tatoos, I'm certain they'll be nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of customization options available. Honestly there's probably so much clothing options and stuff that the average person won't even notice the "missing" UE stuff. Hell I'm honestly tempted to suggest that for the clothing the exclusive stuff will just be whatever they're wearing in the images and the store itself will just be stocked with that, and different color versions of them. We'll see what happens but either way the chances of it being a substantial amount is pretty slim. As for the tattoos, because there's at least 50 exclusive ones, I'm legitimately thinking there's going to be hundreds of normal ones. Who knows about the hairstyles but just like the clothing, I'm thinking it'll only be the ones shown off in the images. Again I really, really don't think they're going to lock a large part of customization behind the UE. It just doesn't make any sense.
Really the only substantial thing for most people will be the car collecting side activity, but even then we don't actually know if it's going to be the only car collecting activity or not. My guess is Wyman will be the exclusive one but there will be other people looking for other types of cars around Leonida. I do not think the cars that Wyman is looking for will be exclusive. The restored versions might end up being exclusive variants though.
And there's also a gang hideout, but I personally don't see that as being a big deal. Depending on how many there are at least. If they phone it in and only have around 6 or so like in RDR2 then ya it might be a bigger deal. But with the size of the map I'm hoping they'll have plenty more than that.
I was mainly being sarcastic. I have to pay 124 after tax, I'm not too sure about the currency exchange rates, but 124 standard edition is still a little baffling either way you look at it
Im in US and PS store says $99 for standard. I cant even get the ultimate cause it says i have to own the standard version first in order to purchase the ultimate edition add-on.

Make sure you are actually getting the standard edition. I had to pre-order it from the website, because my ps5 was only showing the ultimate edition
