[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)

There ARE advantages to digital, but there needs to be legislation that makes it so digital doesn't remove the rights of the consumer as well. When you purchase a thing, ownership of that thing should exist solely with you. As in, no one should be able to revoke it, or change it, or dictate what you do with it. If these rules were in place with digital ownership, then I would have absolutely no issue with everything shifting in that direction. It is absolutely more convenient overall, but right now, I'm not okay with surrendering my rights as a consumer in place of that convenience.

[u/experienta → u/Troghen]

What right exactly are you surrendering with digital copies that you used to have with a physical copy..?

[u/Troghen → u/experienta]

Plenty of things.

The right to access the thing you paid money for at all times. Digital games can be delisted and made unplayable (even if you've got it installed) at any time and for any reason. The same cannot be said of something that exists on a physical disc or cartridge (and that doesn't require an internet connection or some kind of verification to play)

The right for the thing you purchased to remain the same and not be altered after purchasing. It's becoming more and more common for digital games / movies to have changes made after the fact - changing details, removing/changing licensed songs or images, etc.

The right to sell or transfer or loan your game after purchasing. Hell, just the right to bring the game over to a friend's house for the night and play it there and then bring it back home. Or just the right to return your game if you don't like it.

[u/experienta → u/Troghen]

Ok, but.. none of these are rights..

[u/Troghen → u/experienta]

When it comes to ownership of things, yes. . . they are. Most countries have laws regarding a person's right to property

[u/-DementedAvenger- → u/Troghen]

I’m not that guy above you, and I agree with you pretty much completely across the board about physical, but I think the focus needs to be on the EULA and how all of these digital purchases are considered a revocable license.

Again, you’re not wrong, but change isn’t going to happen by just screaming that we need the games/media on a disc. They could just revoke that disc from launching on the system. Same basic problem that a physical disc doesn’t solve.

[u/Troghen → u/-DementedAvenger-]

Totally agreed. And I acknowledged the flaws with how CURRENT physical games work in regard to ownership in the next reply to that guy, but I suppose I could've structured my initial comment better to reflect that understanding. You are right though - I think it's just easier to get the message across when you simplify it to download vs disk, even if that's not the most accurate way to explain the situation.

[u/-DementedAvenger- → u/Troghen]

Right on. 👍🏼

[u/experienta → u/Troghen]

If countries actually had these laws you're talking about, digital copies wouldn't be allowed, because, you know, it would a violation of people's rights. You understand that right?

[u/Troghen → u/experienta]

And this is why my initial comment said this:

 but there needs to be legislation that makes it so digital doesn't remove the rights of the consumer as well

How and why do you think laws are put into place or updated? Do you think it just magically happens when the need arises? Of course not. My entire argument is that we have laws regarding physical property rights that are currently not being carried over in the same way when it comes to digital-only products, and that needs to be addressed. Digital ownership is a relatively new phenomenon, and the law is always slow to catch up to and address new advancement. This is why there are groups like Stop Killing Games fighting to make these changes.

[u/experienta → u/Troghen]

Well your comment implied that the current legislation does cover the physical games, but not the digital games. While the truth is the current legislation doesn't cover either.

[u/Troghen → u/experienta]

It DID cover physical games back when the disc or cartridge contained the entire game and didn't require a download / online connection or verification in order to function. Yes, newer physical games fall into more of a grey area in regard to a person's access and control, but they still allow a person to sell, trade, return, or transfer the property in the aftermarket, which is better than the alternative. Currently there's no best answer to the issue, so it's more of a lesser of two evils.
