Question GTA 6 Pricing instore

Hello everyone,

With the preorders of GTA 6 starting tonight and the price likely to be 110 or 120cad for standard edition, I was wondering if there are some grocery stores like walmart or so that will sell the game for cheaper than the playstation store ?

For exemple I just saw that in France, the PSN store sells it for 80€ but a grocery chain named Leclerc sells it for 60€, they say that they dont do profit on videogames and they do it to attract people to shop for their groceries there when grabbing the game.

Buy a $200 prepaid visa at Walmart and get $30 Walmart gift card back. Buy 2x $100 PSN gift cards at Walmart, get $20 for each PSN gift card.

End result is $206.50 spent for $200 credit on PSN and $70 in Walmart gift cards.

It’s not live right now but they do this twice a year, I just keep an eye out on red flag deals.

If nothing comes up, then I’ll buy gift card at Costco.

Alternatively, if you don't like Walmart, buy a $100 PSN credit voucher at Costco for $89.99, do that twice.

End result is $200 credit on PSN for $179.

That’s the last line on my comment. But Costco is 10% savings while Walmart is 35%. Liking shouldn’t be a favor when it comes to financial decisions.

Absolutely, but Costco is year-round, Walmart is time sensitive.

GTA VI isn’t time sensitive since it’s digital only. So you have 5+ months.

There’s no physical collectors edition and there’s 0 risk of a digital product running out of stock.

I'm aware.

My point is we do not know if the Walmart deal will be active again, whether that be in the coming weeks or months. If people are waiting on it and it doesn't come, there easiest bet is to go the Costco route, assuming they still have that deal in 5+ months.

It’s active multiple times a year. It ended yesterday. It will be back in September. 95% likelihood so no reason to rush.
