GTA 6 is getting a $400 collector’s set filled with Vice City-themed goodies, but it won’t include a copy of the game.
The game hasn’t even come out yet, and I’m already sick of hearing about it…
I understand the sentiment, but I think paying attention to this stuff is important. Like it or not, they are a huge part of the zeitgeist and they can set trends. This is one I’d like to not see. It’s important this shit is reported on and pushed back against, hard.
Pushed back? By whom? This merch set will sell out and other IP owners are envious their franchises don’t have the same ridiculous traction.
I haven’t seen a single positive comment about this so far even in spaces dedicated for fans of GTA, but I also fully recognize that does not necessarily reflect the majority of consumers.
To be fair, no retail version of GTA 6 includes a copy of the game.
They’re rubbing it in now. Just let me buy a physical copy ffs. I lined up at midnight to get my copy of GTA 5 on the PS3.
The copy of GTA 6 you get when have games, unlimited games, but no games.
Yeah, well. I’ll 3D print you some GTA themed swag and put it in a box that also doesn’t include the game, except I’ll do it for $375. How about that?
Can’t wait to pirate this fucking game when a crack comes out. It’s not like anyone can actually own a copy.
It would be wise to run such things in a VM. I would expect Rockstar to post some editions of GTA6 on pirate sites themselves, except with some spyware attached.
You all not having a windoz-game-box and a linux for all serious stuff?
TIL that cheap fanny packs can apparently now be called “cross-body packs” in a vain effort to make us forget how uncool they are.
Honestly, I think it would’ve been better if they’d leaned into it as a retro 80s/90s thing and just called it a fanny pack. It’s already hideous, anyway.
Edit for clarification: There are things that I would happily and unironically call a “cross-body pack”. But IMO the picture on that website is of a fanny pack.
My tmnt one was cool in 1991
As a collector, it’s essentially over for me. I don’t know how many of us are out there that feel that way, but I used to spend a lot of money on games and now I’m going out of my way to not buy any anymore console games. Switch and their virtual cards can also suck it. If I can’t fire something up in 20 years and it can’t play a game, I might as well stick to PC, right? I spent 30 years building my library and owning my games. I guess being able to lend a game to a friend was costing them too much. The resale of used games were dollar signs that they felt belonged to them. Fuck it all.
That’s $570CAD for a bunch of rebranded Aliexpress tat.
I would be laughing if I didn’t know that this game will make sales and profit history.
And, I cannot stress this enough, doesn’t come with the game. Even though the game doesn’t have a disc version. They couldn’t even include a damn code.
image the reaction if a $400us collector bundle was the only way to get a physical disc.
A dream for scalpers. :D
The merch looks nice but not 400$ nice.
L M A O
Are there really that many people out there willing to part with $400 for a mismash of merchandise?
Someone just shelled out 1.2 million to name a porn star’s baby. $400 ain’t nothing to some people.
Just looked this up and for anyone wondering: The pornstar is Bonnie Blue and it was actually a gambling company that bought naming rights. The gambling company is naming the child after itself. Bonnie said she was going to look into the company, and as of now there is no evidence that the child has actually been named that. Gambling companies are doing lots of weird viral marketing lately, so it’s possible this whole thing was prearranged.
