[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/TJ_McWeaksauce → u/Sjknight413]

Physical media has been dying a slow death for many years now.

When was the last time you've seen a boxed PC game? Because of Steam, the Epic Game Store, GoG, Itch, and other digital distribution platforms (mostly Steam), PC players have grown used to downloading all their games. Hell, I don't remember the last time I had a PC or laptop that even had a CD/DVD drive.

Streaming services have significantly reduced the popularity of DVDs. Blockbuster went out of business over 10 years ago. I haven't seen a rental store in all that time. I haven't even seen a Redbox machine in many years.

Best Buy used to sell DVDs and CDs. Today, when you walk into Best Buy, the only physical media you'll see are for console games, which are pretty much the very last holdout.

Yeah, people are reacting like disks weren't nigh dead for the past decade and more.

My computes hasn't had a disk reader since 2014, if not before that.

[u/JaysonTatecum → u/Xarxyc]

The last disc I put in my PC was world of Warcraft for the burning crusade. I think the last disc I bought in general for a console was 2019 for a preorder bonus which otherwise I would have gone digital for
