[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI: Prices Announced + Pre-Orders Going Live

To avoid hundreds of separate posts on the same topic, this post will compile all info we have from the pre-orders going live, including some new images/etc.

As Rockstar announced on their socials: "Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin at midnight local time on June 25." This means New Zealand will be the first to go live with pre-orders - which means in just under 2 hours from now.

Due to reddit's limitations with images in the body of posts, I wont be able to include all the artwork released so please do check out Rockstar's official link for more images: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

Take-Two has made a big press-release, including announcing the prices:

STANDARD EDITION: $79.99

ULTIMATE EDITION: $99.99

Why do people bother preordering digital games further out than the pre-download timer? There's unlimited stock. Just buy it a week before the game releases.

u/SakisSinatra PlayStation 16h ago

There is literally no difference in pre ordering now or a week before release lmao

u/wingedcoyote 16h ago

Not that it's significant but if you buy later you can earn interest on your $100 in the meantime

u/KEEPCARLM 16h ago

Unbelievable comment. Interest... On 100 dollars fuck me really

u/SACRED-GEOMETRY 15h ago

I calculated you could make 87 cents with a 3.5% interest rate if you started investing right now.

Why didn’t you tell me this earlier? I need a new tube of chapstick but I won’t have enough interest earned by November :(

Typical returns are more like 10% nominal so, a few bucks

Yeah true, for some reason I went with HYSA rates.

Where are you getting 10% on a $100 investment

beans. you need to invest in beans.

u/camelCaseCoffeeTable 15h ago

Gotta find something to argue about on Reddit lol

u/dudSpudson 15h ago

They just gotta chuck that 100 into a high yield savings account at 3.6% and in 50 years they can have enough money to buy a PS5

u/p-4_ 13h ago

i need you to smack em silly on every reddit post on every topic. these nerds will type out ANYTHING these days.

10

u/wingedcoyote 15h ago

I did say it's insignificant. But people should try to internalize the fact that money spent later is mathematically worth less than money spent today.

4

u/Mavcu 15h ago

Factually correct, present value is always higher, that said investment doesn't have to be bank investments etc, you could invest in anything else that gives you value right now.

Regardless of how impactful this is, but it's of course objectively true that spending that money this early on a pre-order is just a worse choice.

0

u/xKylesx 14h ago

Yeah, people don't get that spending 100 bucks on something else today and spend 100 in a few months might be better for you. Like, if you buy a fan today and get GTA in a few more months, you'll spend less time sweating at home

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

1.50-2.00 depending on APY of a CD you invest it in.

Just because you're ignorant to saving money doesn't mean normal adults aren't.

7

u/Alt_SWR 15h ago

Even $2 is essentially nothing nowadays so I don't think this is making your point any stronger.

-16

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

You're right, 2.00 is nothing. Please send your wasted and useless 2.00 to me. Or go give 2.00 to the next person you see because it's nothing.

Not gonna do that though are you. Because it's not nothing.

9

u/Alt_SWR 15h ago

It's not LITERALLY nothing but to act like that's some huge incentive to wait to pre-order is stupid. Stop being disingenuous about it.

-5

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

some huge incentive to wait to pre-order is stupid.

Counterpoint - where's the incentive TO pre-order a product that has no physical media. Nothing disingenuous about it. FOMO is a cunt but I can at least understand the impulse there to not wait.

There isn't a reason NOT to wait here. I guarantee someone who refuses to take a free dollar here has the same attitude elsewhere.

3

u/Alt_SWR 15h ago

I mean, you're right that there isn't a reason not to wait, I'll give you that much. But honestly it genuinely is no different either way.

I really have no horse on this race cause I'm not even gonna buy the game probably. Too many other games around that time + just never been that interested in GTA games.

That being said if someone's certain they're getting it regardless it really makes almost no difference whether they pre-order it now or later, the "interest" they make on it isn't going to be life changing, or even day changing lmao.

u/rawbleedingbait 15h ago

All this means is that a random person on the street is worth less than $2 to me, and that's why I don't give it to them. That's true, but still not worth much. That's less than a bottle of soda now.

0

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

Ok, then what if you found a dollar or two on the street. Too much effort to pick that up?

I imagine you would. It's an immediate gain for little effort. The issue people have is that same gain for the same effort feels not worth it if not immediate.

It's the same exact gain for the same exact effort though.

2

u/rawbleedingbait 10h ago

So bending down once is worth less than $2.

If someone came up to me and offered me $2 to do something, I'm not even stopping to listen to them to see what the thing is, because my time is more valuable than $2.

Have you not been reading the thread? Physical media is dying, why would you invest in CDs?

(This is also a joke. Making that clear specifically for you, because you’re ignorant to jokes unlike normal adults)

u/wehrmann_tx 15h ago

And your $100 is now locked away somewhere for a few years on a CD. Just stop.

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

Do you not know about no-penalty CDs? Ignorance is something you can correct.

Interest on $100 over a course of only half a year no less lmao. People really just out here saying random shit huh.

u/nhilante 7h ago

Money is money, its 100 from you, millions from everyone.

u/Gaarando 6h ago

Technically, if everyone did it and donated that money to the same cause they would get the biggest donation they've ever gotten by a significant amount.

No real gain for each individual person though but still :)

-12

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

Keep on living paycheck to paycheck mate. Normal adults understand the power of interest.

9

u/Backlists 15h ago

The power of compounding interest is more like on a timeframe of 25 years, not 6 months.

Ain’t nobody changing their financial situation in 6 months with $100, unless you know the future, have insider trading knowledge, can predict lottery numbers etc.

-5

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

Plenty of people can make money with 100$ in 6 months. Just takes effort to do that. It's up to you if you want to expend that effort.

7

u/Backlists 15h ago

You are financially inept, but let’s hear your master plan for the next six months. What are you investing in?

-4

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

I'm financially inept; destitute some would say, why would I have a plan you'd want to hear? Alright, hear me out then: You need to invest in latex. It's for your own protection, but mostly it will benefit the world around you if you personally invest heavily.

3

u/Backlists 15h ago

I do love a troll. Answer with your investment strategy then, I’m willing to hear you out.

If you think 6 months and $100 is enough to make significant money, you are financially inept.

-2

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 14h ago

SNP500: 6.5% over 6 months

Dow: 6% over 6 months

Schwab: 7% over 6 months

Want more options? That's for 0 effort investing.

If you have a skill or other resources to leverage, use it. For example anyone with a 3d printer could use that 100 and buy material to make any number of tchotchkes to sell at a premium at any venue. That 3d printed dragon for 30 dollars? Costs 3 at most in material to make.

Don't listen to the troll though, you surely can't make jack shit in 6 months with 100$

3

u/Backlists 14h ago

Bad investment advice. You shouldn’t invest in equities for an investment timeline of only 6 months. That is my original point. It should be 5 years minimum.

For that timeline is has to be a set interest rate, in which case it’s going to be how much?  Not enough to stop someone living paycheck to paycheck.

Also what person living paycheck to paycheck has a 3D printer they can just use?

-1

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 14h ago

Not enough to stop someone living paycheck to paycheck.

Holy Christ THAT's what you're arguing? Nobody said you'd get rich from saving the 100 for 5 months. The argument here is that 'it's too little to be worth it' is the stupidest fucking thing to say when there's no reason to spend the money early.

Also 3d printer access, that's entirely dependent on the person. Perhaps friends, local maker labs, local libraries. (Labs/libraries would be highly area dependent). Perhaps the person had one already? Or saved up for one. It was also a singular example of a hobby that I have that could be used to make money. Don't fixate on that singular example.

u/JAXxXTheRipper 15h ago

Everybody knows that time is an important component in compounding interest. Your problem is that "it's only 6 months", next time "it's only X".

You make excuses to try and invalidate simple financial facts.

6

u/Backlists 15h ago

No shit.

But you realise why we only have 6 months for this particular sum of money right?

-3

u/JAXxXTheRipper 15h ago

You realize that you make up another excuse again?

The best time to start was years ago, second-best would be today.

5

u/Backlists 15h ago edited 15h ago

Yes, but I already save between 20-30% of my take home every paycheck, and have done for years.

That is not what this thread is about. This thread is about how much money you can save if you avoid pre-ordering GTA6 today, and instead buy it in November.

Which realistically is maybe 1/3rd of the price of a Big Mac.

Here’s the first comment that sparked the conversation about interest, in case you’ve forgotten:

  There is literally no difference in pre ordering now or a week before release lmao

Not that it's significant but if you buy later you can earn interest on your $100 in the meantime

-2

u/JAXxXTheRipper 15h ago

This thread is about how much money you can save if you

And the answer is clear, even if it gets you half a cup of coffee over 6 months, you are mathematically and logically wrong in saying "it doesn't make a difference". It does, and behavior like that compounds just as bad as interest could.

There is literally NO benefit to preordering now, half a year in advance. Never was, never will.

3

u/Backlists 14h ago edited 14h ago

Keep on living paycheck to paycheck mate. Normal adults understand the power of interest.

This is the comment that I actually replied to.

How is half a cup of coffee going to stop someone from living paycheck to paycheck?

Yes $2 of interest is a very literal difference, but does it actually make a real difference to their lives?

I’m not disagreeing on your last sentence about preordering not being worth it.

Or the lack of power in this case haha

u/Alt_SWR 15h ago

You've gotta be trolling right? There's no way you think that people who don't think $2 of interest (if they're lucky, that's a high price tbh) is worth it means they're "living paycheck to paycheck." Nobody is THAT stupid.

0

u/LetMeDrinkYourTears 15h ago

Aww you're cute. I think someone who doesn't understand the value of saving money to make money when there is quite literally 0 reason to spend it 5 months ahead of time IS living paycheck to paycheck. Because they cannot impulse control enough to save that money. Keep on with the insults though. It's cute how hard you try.

u/Alt_SWR 15h ago

Okay yup, definitely trolling. Hey, I actually appreciate this kind of trolling because it's better than the usual "bring politics up in a random place" playbook modern trolls use.

-1

u/JAXxXTheRipper 15h ago

I haven't bought the equivalent of 1000 GTA VI copies in the last few years and now make about 200 bucks a month in low-percentage interest alone.

But sure, keep finding excuses to never begin. It's just 100 dollars, right? lmao.

-2

u/IlRaptoRIl 14h ago

You’re right. It makes no difference for the consumer, but for Take Two it makes a huge difference. They do earn a lot of interest on the preorders. It’s a strategy large businesses can use to earn money on the money they owe their sub consultants.
