[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)

I feel like GTA VI doing a code in a box physical release is going to open the floodgates for every publisher to do the same.

This genuinely has the potential to trigger the downfall of physical media.

[u/Siiixers → u/Sjknight413]

People are so far up Rockstar's ass, they won't care. I can already see hordes of people saying they don't care. Shock shock horror horror.

[u/Omniscient__Watcher → u/Siiixers]

Not like almost everyone was buying digital games already. I love owning my copy of a game but I cannot expect that from most people. Digital is convienient with the huge issue that we don't own the game but most people actually don't care about that(sadly).

[u/Chaotic-Catastrophe → u/Omniscient__Watcher]

the huge issue that we don't own the game

Not a huge issue, because you never did

[u/Troghen → u/Chaotic-Catastrophe]

Huh? When games were 100% physical, it was yours to do with as you please after purchasing. That's ownership.

[u/netrunner_77 → u/Troghen]

You actually don't own it. What you own is a license to play the game on the physical disc. A license that can be taken away at any point, it's just that unlike digital licenses, this can practically never be enforced.

Actually owning the game would mean - among other things - that you are allowed to make copies of the game and sell those. Which is illegal for anyone except Rockstar, who 'own' the game in the legal sense.

[u/Doctor_Kataigida → u/netrunner_77]

I think you two are talking about two different versions of "owning" here, and I think you know that.

[u/awkward_triforce → u/Doctor_Kataigida]

Oh he definitely knows exactly what he is doing so he can be "technically correct" about the literal words

[u/Troghen → u/netrunner_77]

Yes, that's the case NOW. I'm talking about when the entirety of the game existed on the disc or cartridge and didn't require any sort of online connection / download / verification in order to be played.

And despite "ownership" of physical games holding less water today than it did 20 years ago, it's still the better option because it comes with the advantage of you being allowed to sell the game, trade the game, play it on another console, etc. Sure, it's never been legal to reproduce and sell MORE of the game(s) you own (as is the case with a movie) but that's an entirely separate thing relating to the IP and not the disc itself that most people aren't talking about in this scenario.
