Special and Collectors Edition announced


Recommended Posts

149$ is around 100£

 

thats how much I expect the collectors edition to be

I expect £120.

 

Whenever video game prices are converted from dollars to pounds, us British get the raw end of the deal and end up paying more.

But I'd love it if it was just £100.

 

On the other hand, I don't know if this excites me enough. You're basically paying $150 for a cap and a bag and there isn't even an artbook which bums me out.

The price will fall as we get near to the release. No worries, Today $150 tomorrow $100 for Collectors edition.

 

I like the cap though Los Santos

 

would look really cool.

I'm going to buy it, but I won't be proud of doing so. It will be a compromise of my morals, basically making me a total hypocrite. But I don't want to be playing the game a month or so after getting it, and think "damn, I could have had a bunch of other stuff to play with, too..."

 

It certainly sucks. If GTA was anual or bi-anual, I wouldn't touch the special or collectors edditions (or even the pre-order). But it's going to be probably another 7 or so years until GTAVI, so I want to get as much as I can.

The only thing I care for out of all of this is flying the blimp. I guess I will have to cancel and pre order again which is dumb. Other than that I do like the other stuff except the 25% boost sh*t. But all this for $150 ill pass. I don't like it when ea does this with their games and I won't be changing just cause this is gta.

So.. the leaked info regarding special edition was right after all.

 

From now on, I will believe every plausible leaked info.

It's just been leaked that GTAV will be on N64.

haha.. I said every plausible leak of info.

 

Why would anyone go for a special edition... Collectors Edition is the real deal tbh. SE is just... cheap with cheats and all. Its like paying extra for an easier start to the game.

25% faster regen on special abilities is like the dumbest thing I've ever heard off. Actually I'm not intending to use them anyways but why do they have to make the game easier for people buying the Collectors edition?

Gonna buy it anyways although I have a bad feeling that there will be tons of DLC for this game which I HATE.

(the online thing sounds kinda fun though)

You don't have to cancel your pre order, Rockstar said anyone that has already pre ordered before this announcement will still get the blimp.

preorder bonuses are the only way to make your game stand out.

GTA V doesn't need pre-order bonuses to be bought.

 

On topic: Can I at least shoot the blimp down?

For us GTA fans it doesn't but for those who have never heard of GTAV before. Mainly Blind and Deaf people.

I've got a question for people less ignorant than me:

 

I'm willing to buy the PS3 version of the game and, once the pc version will be released (wich I think has high chances to happen) I'm gonna buy that and play only with that. Therefore I'd like to buy the cheapest edition of the game for the PS3, and spend money to get the "complete" version (A.K.A. collector's edition) on the pc. Now my concern is: from your previous experiences, is it likely that a complete version (with all the bonuses of the Collector's Edition) will be released on the pc, or is it not?

 

Yeah, I know pc version hasn't be announce yet, but let's just suppose it will eventually be released. Thank you!

Where did they say this? Did I miss it?

No blimp, stunt plane challenges, and a few custom cars for standard game? Are you f*cking kidding me? GTA IV wins.

Well, you get the blimp regardless of what edition it is, standard, special and collectors edition. This is prob to deter buying it used.

 

You are right about the Stunt plane and custom vehicles though, not in the standard edition. Like some others on here, there is a progressive and lingering bad taste, I can agree with the online bonuses being exclusive to special and collectors editions to an extent, however it seems to go a bit overboard though with the price jump from $79 to $149. I absolutely hate that they are including single player day 1 DLC, I never expected R* to do this.

 

In my opinion, they should at the very least have all the digital content with the special edition instead of splitting it up like they did. You are just paying for the Bag, the 'premium outer box' and the Hat with the $150 dollar collectors edition.

These pre-order bonuses are the ways to tell us "We'll price this game for $60, but we have other features that aren't part of the $60 purchase. These features aren't worth selling for $5 dollars DLCs, so we included them as pre-order bonus."

 

GTA V is already a big game and it seems unfair if we'll pay just $60 for it, right?

Rockstar has removed features from the game and will sell it later for ~$15. A part of it were put into these pre-order editions.

 

In other words, If Rockstar sells the game for $75, very few would buy it. So they set the price to $60, the standard.

The $15 wasn't just a price slash overall, they removed some OPTIONAL features for us to buy later on.

 

I don't even think GTA V merely costs $60 with the effort put into it.

Do we have € and £ prices yet?

According to my calculations

 

Collectors ($150) is £100 in UK

Special ($80) £53

Standard ($60) £40

You don't just convert $ to £, you have to take in to account VAT as well. Tax isn't included in the American prices.

 

It will probably be the same in £ as $, so were looking at £79.99 for the special edition.
