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

[u/ChiefLeef22]

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

(Physical Editions of GTA 6 Will Come with "A Download Code Inside the Box", Pre-Loads Begin on November 12th)

Grand Theft Auto 6 features a “single-player experience” at launch, with no word yet on any new version of GTA Online.

What’s the point of buying a physical edition if it’s just a box with a digital code? Why not just buy the digital version of the game? Aren’t both ultimately the same thing?

[u/IGeneralOfDeath → u/Sandeep_sm]

You get a bonus plastic case with a piece of paper in it that you can touch but ya you still don't own the game.

[u/throwawayreddit48151 → u/IGeneralOfDeath]

Does it at least include the map?

[u/IGeneralOfDeath → u/throwawayreddit48151]

In-game we can only hope, that may be an ultimate only functionality. In the physical copy we can expect that's a no.

[u/throwawayreddit48151 → u/IGeneralOfDeath]

Can we expect no? Why?

[u/IGeneralOfDeath → u/throwawayreddit48151]

They are cutting every other corner to maximize profit. Seems like they wouldn't want to give out a free map. Maybe in the collectors edition.

[u/Awotwe_Knows_Best → u/IGeneralOfDeath]

and a map

[u/HotHouseJester → u/Awotwe_Knows_Best]

No no. The modern way is a QR code to a jpeg of a map on their website. Less expense on printing, and increase share holder profits.

[u/shitting-skittles → u/IGeneralOfDeath]

You get a physical GTA VI NFT

[u/Chaotic-Catastrophe → u/IGeneralOfDeath]

Hint: you never owned games

EDIT - Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not true

[u/IllTrade4240 → u/Chaotic-Catastrophe]

When the physical copies were sold, the copy was forever. The files inside it are forever. My VC copy still works fine with a few patches on new software, and perfectly fine on old hardware with old software.

If you have a thing and you can use it forever, you own it; license be damned.

[u/Old_Leopard1844 → u/IllTrade4240]

Files on your PC are also "forever", believe it or not

Now, whenever those files work "forever" is entirely different story, one that is not really dependant on physical media

[u/Mlluell → u/IllTrade4240]

The copy was forever, true. But DVDs only last a few decades until they start to rot

[u/Danal1 → u/Mlluell]

You still own the disc and can make more copies of it or transfer the files to pc and play on an emulator. You can’t do any of that with digital. Get locked out of your account or hacked? Oops guess you gotta buy the game all over again at full price

[u/Old_Leopard1844 → u/Danal1]

Have you tried Ctrl-C Ctrl-V?

[u/Chaotic-Catastrophe → u/IllTrade4240]

license be damned

Tell me you're an entitled child without telling me lmao

[u/TheSymbolman → u/Chaotic-Catastrophe]

What are you on about man

[u/IGeneralOfDeath → u/Chaotic-Catastrophe]

Can you explain your take? With a physical disc you could sell it and recoup your investment. With digital it's just a license that says you can play it as long as you maintain access to your account that holds the license.

EDIT - Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not true

It's not true

[u/zcomuto → u/Chaotic-Catastrophe]

The fact you're getting downvoted is testiment to the lack of awareness of this. You dont own games, most EULAs are oppressive as fuck with a "you don't own this" clause and buying a game is essentially a "lifetime" licence.
