GTA 6 Collector's Box Is $400, Doesn't Include the Game

I’ll be sure to pay with a cheque that doesn’t include my signature.

I would love see what the “cost to produce” is for this…

All that crap and no game and they want 400 for it? gtfo. Not one thing in there is worth more than 50-100 as it is.

I hate to bring it up, but does anyone else remember when your GTA game came in a box and had a cool poster map with it?
Now to get that map you're being asked to $400 because it's bundled in with a bunch of worthless ***** but no copy of the game.

Plenty of mugs will rush out to buy this tat tho

Sunnys and hat are nice but not worth 350. Maybe if it had the limited vinyls aswell.

@Wiceheid And it probably doesn’t even fit in the (empty) game box!

They just testing the dummies 😂😂😂😂😂

Sign me up for exactly 0 copies pls

I get the no discs thing but I don’t think I’ll ever understand collectors editions not including the game.

Having said that, these will sell out…so I guess I understand.

I think the most expensive item in that collection is Oakley sunglasses which the cheapest one could cost around $130-170. The rest are cheap af items that i doubt all of them could cost $400 total.

The crazy thing is this collection doesn't even include the game. But R* understand their audience when they slap $80-100 for GTA 6. I bet someone will defend this sh*t like their life is on the line.

The Oakleys will be bumping the cost of this - they’ll be around £150-180 on their own.

Just work harder, you lazy lot. Get second jobs and you can one day have nice things.

I want literally nothing in that set. My heart did skip a beat when I saw the box/thumbnail. Then as I scrolled I felt it break. That's coming from someone who bought a set of Diablo 4 candles.

Yeah, the Oakley sunglasses are the most expensive thing in that box. There are Fortnite collab ones on the Oakley sight that go for like $220 right now, so definitely that.

Just a reminder to anyone who's blood pressures is skyrocketing: you are not obligated, required, or mandated by law to purchase this or anything else GTA related. You can look at this, just like I did, and go, "Nah, not for me" and move on with zero anxiety.

Also, what's with everyone's obsession with maps? They printed those things back in the day because in game maps kind of sucked. That isn't really a problem anymore.

Addendum: purchasing or not purchasing this also has no bearing on one's intelligence.

@JLSlone I'm glad that amongst the rubble, at least one sane view always manage to stand out

RDR2 fully sealed collector's boxes currently selling between £700 and £1000 on ebay in the last few months. That didn't have a game also.

Sub-head should read: Price $h itty

@JLSlone Thanks for the reminder that I'm allowed to have my own opinion. Very gracious of you to let everyone know which opinions we're supposed to have, though. It doesn't come across as pretentious at all.

@Can-You-Believe-Sith I mean for real

One of the worst collector editions I've seen.

@Wiceheid I hate to bring it up, but does anyone else remember when your GTA game came in a box and had a cool poster map with it?

• I just ran an experiment, those are all maps/manuals and guide-books, there is a literal stack of them. I have all of the original posters too. Now they all have to go back in each box.

If this doesn’t show the sorry state of gaming I’m not sure what will. At that price you don’t even get a digital code (which costs nothing to include) nevermind a physical disc. All that tat which can be bought for less than 100 bucks elsewhere and they still refuse to print a disk.

This is your future folks, enjoy it.

A collector's edition that doesn't include the game and the product images look like 3D renders, so who knows if the actual physical items will look this good in-person.

@8th_Observer about 100 dollars max including staff pay🤣 more than half that junk is most likely 3dD printed

I'm annoyed I don't have the option to buy these digitally somewhere at a significant markup.

@Uromastryx Apparently the sunglasses are from a luxury brand, so that’s probably half of the cost

400 for a load of cheap junk with gta logos on, nice!

To be fair, the Oakley Sunglasses could be a basic retail value of 150 EUR/USD and due to the GTA design easily more (and they don't seem to be a toy but real sunglasses). Yet, as a CE as a whole this is really sad, even though I personally do not mind CEs without a game (if it reflects in the pricing).

this games story will be so trash

These obnoxiously expensive collector's editions are made for YouTube content creators, not us peasants... we'll just sit and watch the unboxing videos.

@Onelastgo @Pat_trick I'm rereading my post and trying to find the part where I said no one was allowed to speak, should be censored, or can't have their own opinion.

If either of you could point to that part of my post, I'll be happy to reword it.

Also, the Middle East is far from the only place on Earth that pushes censorship or cultural conformity, so I'd love to know why they got singled out.

Excited for the game, I'm sure it will be great, but the nerve from these guys is getting hilarious. FF7 Revelation collector's edition includes a massive statue, the actual video GAME, a steel book, both story expansions, in game goodies, a soundtrack CD & hardcover artbook.

I don't mind taking the bait and buying this crap for very specific massive games but you better give me good crap if you want $300+. I'll give Square even more props now after seeing this

It looks hideous.

400 euros for this garbage is insulting, but expected from RockStar, which tries to milk normies as much as physically possible.

This collection of super-chintzy items will sell out too.

The last good collectors edition I ever bought was Yakuza 6 Song of Life, which came with two glasses (with dragon designs), whisky stones, themed coasters, a little artbook...oh yeah, and THE GAME.

The sunglasses and Gator figure i like, the rest not that much. But 400 is crazy for that box, 200 would be more like it.

@kungfumongoose go google it how much cost those Sunglasses in retail )

Love the glasses tbh. So close to clicking buy.... My 9 year old daughter stopped me. Says all you need to know

Nothing in there is worth that kind of money.
They sure know how to milk their fans 🤣

If I bought this I would have to use the shot glass to drown my sorrows and regrets....

This is so stupid. None of this is worth that price tag.

Anyone buying this should be put into care as they clearly can't make informed decisions if they do

400$ for a glorified lootcrate is diabolical

A fool and their money etc etc

I'm not certain all those items price add to 400$, do they?

Look at all those characters that I have no idea how they will show up in-game (P.S.: I was one of the very few who did not watch the extended look).

Nice. I'll probably pre order that ASAP if I can still get my hands on it

This stuff reminds me how old i am getting and maybe gta is for kids 🤣

Yet some people will get excited about this $400 box of crap.

@EYEBALL unfortunately that’s what it looks like

@nomither6 🤣

What is wrong with them? FFS. Just release the game on two discs with the map and manual like they always have. Make an event of it instead of manipulating and ruining such and anticipated release for so many people.

@Onelastgo well considering I've been alive since the 80s, you'd be a bit off on your assumption of my age.

Nothing in my post was condescending, just a reminder that you don't need to be stressed out about a thing you don't see value in. That's my opinion, obviously, but doesn't preclude others from having their own. I also don't think anything I said was condescending. For example, I didn't refer to anyone as "boy."

Spoon, mirror and razorblade??? 🤔😂

This is the garbage I picture in my brain when they say "physical games are bad for the environment".

Nah it's this crap. A disc is a few millimeter of plastic 5x5 inches inside a few millimeter of plastic that is 7x6 inches with a one sided 6x6 inches of paper with ink.

Next time you want to post about 'disc bad' just refrain from posting/talking...at all.

The fact that it doesnt include the game is so meta its hillarious.

$400 for that?? And not even the standard version of game is included?

@JLSlone 'You can look at this, just like I did, and go, "Nah, not for me".'

Well said! It's a free country right?

Just like how you can look at this and go, "Anyone who buys this should have the vote taken off them, and any sharp objects removed from their house"

Should sell a digital NFT version for the same price! Since people are okay with paying for digital games!

@Gremio108 sure, you're welcome to that opinion.

However, I would argue mine is more concerned with people stressing over something when they need not do so and yours is more "I'm so much smarter than others based on not purchasing this."

Feels like something old GTA would have once satirised at this point.

The Spoon, Mirror and Razor Blade is certainly a choice, and bang on theme.

The fact that there's no game is mind-boggling. I was expecting at the very least the "Code-In-A-Box", but not even that is in the box. Well I never buy Collector's Edition anyways.

Wow - off the bat maybe a map, the complete soundtrack, the best of Lazlow cd and perish the thought….the game itself.

@Ravix @SMJ The reason it’s $400 is b/c they forgot to list the 8-ball in the contents. 😎

@JLSlone I'm not saying 'I'm' more intelligent than them - I'm saying we all are! How could it be about me, I'd hardly need to be Albert Einstein to rank above these people in the brainiac stakes, they're spending 350 quid on a box with some sunglasses, stickers, pins and a spoon in it.

I could go down to my local car boot sale on Sunday morning and find a similar box of tat. If I offered the seller 350 quid for it, they'd smack me round the face for taking the mickey out of them

This is the king of tat in a box made for people who are so excited about GTAVI they want to pay money to show it!

Anyone buying this is a fool.

One of the worse collectors edition i have seen

@JLSlone I never said you were trying to censor anyone. I'm pointing out the irony of telling people they're free to have their own opinions while simultaneously lecturing them about how they should react to something.

You can absolutely have your opinion, and so can everyone else. That applies equally to people who think the criticism is perfectly reasonable.

That spoon and the razor? Really, Rockstar? XD

If I liked smoking, drinking and snorting id buy it.

@GirlVersusGame your mention of the Diablo candles actually made me laugh out loud. What do they smell of? Brimstone and broken mice (the peripheral not animal)?

@Glassneedles Plastic and battery acid, it's an LED. Always read the small print, I thought it was a proper candle.

I feel like we lost the plot, and I’m saying this as a big gta fan in general.

I (still) like Rockstar and I am looking forward to GTA VI. But this is too far out of balance. The stuff doesn't even have a stylish vibe. It feels like some marketing agency produced random stuff last minute to use as free gifts during a trade fair.

All these garbage worth 30 to 50 bucks, and they sell it for 400,

This is so lame, just increase the price and add a digital code.🤮 And this thing is full of junk not worth the asking price.🤮

Its all AliExpress junk.

Man, what the hell is this lol

This collector's edition with a game for $200 it would have been expensive, let alone this costing $400 without the game. That's insane.

The only thing from that isn't AliExpress trash is the Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses.

Maybe they're not including the game cuz it actually isn't very good....

The iron of the gaming industry saying we don’t need physical discs but then trying to sell us physical collectibles and vinyl is hilarious.

Some of the manuals, posters and guide-books.

Maps too of course, I think my favorite is Grand Theft Auto 3. I really like how they framed their manuals as local business guides, tourist books, and jammed both with world lore in the shape of radio stations, adverts, and media clippings. It does add to the world and I don't think there was much stopping them from putting together a tourist-guide for that new set.

@Kairuuu Or aliens stole their brains (from the future to cut-down on clutter)

That is an absurd amount of money for absolute tat and no game to boot.

They've really become the sort of corporation they've spent decades lampooning.

I'll buy the hat on the aftermarket for sure, but the rest of this is just garbage tbh

@GirlVersusGame I've now googled the candle and can see why you bought it, if it was me opening that I'd be very disappointed too. especially for the price!

@Glassneedles It's still not as bad as the day I unboxed that Metal Gear Solid set with Snake in a jar. I should have been angry but I couldn't stop laughing at how bad he looked. The marketing for the Diablo set was deceptive, they had the image of the reverse side of the same candle beside it so people thought they were getting two. The best Diablo merchandise I've bought were the excellent novels and the Stay a While and Listen book set, those were about the history of the game/Blizzard and were packed with interviews and really well researched.

@JoDoMac Probably end up on Ebay for $700 we live in and times and not two posters so its usefull and practical.

@dv_xedge So and now the other $250 the spoon $5, stickers $0.99 at the crap store, poster $9,99 and some crap that came from China.

As someone who wears prescription glasses they are all marked up a ton.
These sunglasses probably don't even cost $20 to produce and you pay a $110 markup for six letters on the side they don't even look that special.

@GirlVersusGame could you not return the Diablo merch? Don't you have a 30 day return policy?

I do love the statues of Blizzard they are stunning. I have a CE with a mask from Dishonored that looks fantastic. I think i bought it for €100 at the time I think with the game included in a steelcase with a disc inside how the times have changed.

This trend of collectors editions without the game included has to go. Seriously. Rockstar and any other devs/publishers who do this needs to get off whatever substance they are on.

@Flaming_Kaiser Did I say that all of this was a good deal or did I call it "really sad"? And for the record, they do not just cost $20 in production but yes, the glases surely do have a strong mark-up in general. I only compared it to retail sales prices, that's all.

Seen better quality items in a Happy Meal, no lie. This is an absolute embarrassment and if you can't see what Rockstar/T2 are pulling, there is no hope. The humiliation ritual continues.

When I first saw what was included and the price I literally laughed out loud, then I saw that it didn’t include the game and I was floored. You’d have to be mental to pay this much money what is mostly tat.

@LiamCroft @get2sammyb I think I speak for many here and would like to know what your take is on this, both the contents and price.

@dv_xedge Its a rippof $400 for some cheap plastic and no game its a joke and it not even nice stuff to look at.

I think 100% of this stuff had no value in nostalgia or as far collectibles go. It's random garbage in a box.
