Ryan Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 There's no way Rockstar and Take 2 are going to make an entirely separate and exclusive version of the game only marketed to EB Games in Australia. I call bullsh*t on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutoDriver Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Of course they will. Its called the Censored Edition. Oh snap! Could it be true though? In the PC speculation thread there was a lot of talk of "special editions" being listed on these websites. Now, I searched around and this was the items listed in the "special edition" SteelBook with exclusive artwork World map Stunt-planes challenges Online-store concessions Bonus outfits Bonus tattoos Special abilities booster Exclusive weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrcTOtheJ Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Of course they will. Its called the Censored Edition. LOL'd. Anyhow retailer/region exclusive editions...oh joy. Everything else about this game great, but to see this trend happening to GTAV...not to great. I'm sure it'll contain nothing groundbreaking but still. And odds are they'll make one for everywhere so I can't complain to badly I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiophile Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 If true it could be that steelbook version that's been floating about. Doubt it would be exclusive to them out of all people though EB Games is Gamestop. That's possibly what it means when it's said exclusive to EB games, the edition will be exclusive to all Gamestopt/EB Games stores across the world.

FutoDriver Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Doubt it would be exclusive to them out of all people though I don't think they mean region exclusive, rather it's the chosen store chain to carry the "exclusive" edition in that region.

wwinterj Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Doubt it would be exclusive to them out of all people though Could be in AUS but a different retailer in another country. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutoDriver Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I just hope the UK gets someone better than GAME to carry it. I know it's looking likely they will, but that will surely mean paying out the backside for this luxury edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Interesting, thanks for sharing. I don't think they mean region exclusive, rather it's the chosen store chain to carry the "exclusive" edition in that region. Right. Exclusive editions for select retailers (such as GameStop or EBGames) have been done in the past. It's been common over the years for Take-Two to hold private events for their retail partners around the world to showcase their upcoming games. EB Games in Oz is just the first to report on it, possibly because they're on the eastern side of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead At 4pm Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) All it could mean is that it comes with a shirt, hardcase, in game item, sticker or some other random pre order item. Not a completely different version of the game. And yes i finally came out from the shadows to post this haha.

While I agree I can understand GAME been the first choice as they are one of the very few high street retailers left. I just hope this doesn't include in game items and/or this means different retailers will be offering different in game items as that pisses me off to no end. We shall find out soon enough.

iiConTr0v3rSYx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Please, please, please! Don't make region based special editions, R*. Don't be like Ubisoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALMOST610 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 EBGames, f*ck them I'll never buy a game from them again, expensive rip offs. No Doubt they will be charging something like $200 for this special edition. Meanwhile it would be for sale overseas for half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call bullsh*t on this one. I never said an Exclusive version of the game....... its an exclusive Edition Set for GameStop/EBgames, Therefor it comes with Certain stuff. Some games at EB come with Selected DLC exclusive to them, they give you a code. where if i brought it from JB HIFI i would have to pay for it..

I rang a store within 40 minutes of that place and they said it was fine, they're the most laziest c*nts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly right R* wouldn't make a special edition of the game just for australians. This is the "wee man" syndrome rearing its ugly head. Hey Ryder15 - how many threads about this fantasy are you planning to make? So far this is two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's about time we got something back. People should understand EB games in Australia charges $120 as the standard new game price for major titles. This is the way it has been at most outlets for some time. Kmart, Big W, JB HiFi and other discount department stores can charge anywhere from $80-$120 depending on the title. Plus now we have R+18 rating. Maybe R* are rewarding us. In the past, R* have had to make an edited M+15 version for Australia. This will be our first full GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder15 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 when they say exclusive, i cannot stress this enough. The game will be the same, it will be like the special edition everyone will receive over seas exclusive to EBgames, so kmart target BigW JBhifi wont receive it. Make abit more sense?
