Don't really care for something I'll probably never touch, let alone use. this. 70 dollars more for a cap and bag... the only thing I would like about the CE is that you feel badass to have one If you want to look at it from a business perspective, get your hands on a GTA V CE, sell it for the same 149+ 89 = that way you can sell it and get the SE for free FREE GTA V SE you know what? Ill pre order CE and SE and will decide in october which one ill cancel. probably ill change my mind then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Hellraiser Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Pre-order my Collector's Edition at my local GameStop yesterday. If the numbers are that limited everywhere, then I can probably look forward to being mugged on Sept. 17th at the midnight launch for my Collector's Edition.. lol.

bmg1001 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Another quick tip (mainly for U.S. and GameStop customers): If you already preordered the standard GTA V but want to upgrade to the Special or Collectors edition, do it fast! According to the sales clerk I talked to at GameStop, since GTA V is a popular game, they will only be allowing people to upgrade their preorder for a few more days, if any Collector's Edition pre-order slots are empty of course. Also, the Standard Edtion pre-order amount is $5 and the CE version is $25, but you only need to pay 20 extra since you gave 5 originally, so be prepared to shell out some extra cash. Just an FYI.

Durden Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hey Hviterg, you should also add another tip to your OP: Even if you don't have the money, or are waiting for a possible next-gen port, or if you're not sure if you want the CE yet, just pre-order the CE anyways ($5 minimum), and you can cancel your pre-order, downgrade it, switch console versions (eg PS3 to PS4), and/or you can pay the rest later if you decide you do infact want the CE. Because of this, I recommend everyone to pre-order the CE ASAP if they're so much as considering the CE. You have nothing to lose - you can only gain.

Good tips man! I'm not sure what the current "stock" "order" status is for CE in the U.S, but hopefully there are still enough to go around for the biggest fans!

Is it really only 5dollars minimum? In Norway you have to pay a deposit of 50kroners(5euros) for the regular version, and 100kroners(10euros) for all CE/SE.

Hvitdverg Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I think CE will be unavailable everywhere when the game is released. How much do you think will people pay for a CE edition then? At least enough to make back the money you payed for CE, and if you are a good business man, you get him to buy you the SE ontop of that. Yes, you should order two. Have your friend/buyer pay for the CE he is buying from you, and a SE for yourself. I actually think this is a good idea, somebody should follow trough Edited May 25, 2013 by Hvitdverg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusRIP Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yep, Australia is SOLD OUT completely. I called up EB Games at about 3:30pm Friday. So it would have sold out very fast, similar to what the OP described. I heard there was only 19 to go around us aussies. Best selling game of all time?

Best selling game of all time? 19? that is sick man! #GTAGIRL69, The sole purpose of this OP, was to inform fellow members that the CE is extremly limited. Most people planed on waiting before pre-ordering, that is why I knew it would be a good idea to inform everyone that many stores are sold out, after only one day! There is no, "Que"/"what". You understand what I'm saying. Did someone not treat you properly while you were visiting at Gamestop? Is this why you show such strong negativity towards the company and it's employee's ?

I wonder where else this policy is in effect. I want to know if my EG Games is in the minority or the majority... Nonetheless, you still have several options to move around your pre-order how you want to. Cancel + refund, downgrade, pay later, switch platform, etc... And that's all that really matters.

spiritman23 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I pre-ordered two of the CE a half-hour after my Gamestop was open. I was told also that I was the first person to pre-order it. So I thought that was neat since that has never happened to me. Congratulations man! well deserved Thanks. I thought it was neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
