How long until Pre-order/SE/CE content becomes DLC

[Happyness]

Rockstar will never stop puussyfooting around, they're acting like the good guys when they're just out for your money and almost that's it. If I were you I wouldn't get the CE sh*t, but in the end, it's your money pal. I just tried to give an advice.

[Eutyphro]

I personally hope people who didnt buy the CE or pre order it NEVER get access to the content that those of us who do.

why would you want to stop people from getting access to it?

Because he is a c*nt who just spent way too much money on a videogame?

[wwinterj]

 

Right now that content should be exclusive. They ARE entitled to it because that what the price and name of what they're buying entails.

The content is exclusive for several months. The swag however is what you're paying for with the high price tag. It's obvious why R* won't say if the in-game content is a timed exclusive as they want to sell these editions just as every other dev. If you are dumb enough to think the in-game content will be exclusive forever then congratulations you fit right into the people R* want to sell these editions to. If however you have half a brain cell you will see the many collectors editions of games with in game content that have been out and see that the in-game content is a timed exclusive. You are entitled to nothing as you are getting what you are paying for.

Exactly, dipsh*t. I'm getting it either way. Money is not the problem. I'm not arguing if whether or not they'll do this. I'm saying I would be pissed if they did. I fully expect them to do so. Doesn't mean I should be any less pissed off. Like you are so dumb f*ckingly suggesting. It's messed up for them to prey on people's ignorance. All that matters is they are putting a times exclusive in a limited, collectors edition and not telling people about it. It's moronic an illogical. Hey! Just like your arguments. You've got something in common. It's pretty simple. I don't know how you still fail to comprehend after all of these comments. You need to read more, friend. Goodbye.

What? I don't follow. I did not vote for that Mormon idiot Mitt Romney. You're gonna have to explain that one to me, friend.

It was just a joke man . You don't seem to be too fond of sharing and you give off a vibe that you're super worried about "exclusivity". I'm probably wrong though. So, my bad.

It's all good! But this has nothing to do with "sharing." I don't care if it's exclusive or not. I just want to KNOW if it's exclusive or not. Right now everything points to what should be exclusive content. Nowhere does it say that it's a timed exclusive. Right now, it's 150 USD and it's called a LIMITED, COLLECTORS edition. I don't see why I should expect any of what comes in that edition to be a timed exclusive. That would be stupid. I just want the facts. Plain and simple.

I see exactly where you're coming from. I think that Rockstar is in a tough spot. They obviously don't want to say that the content will be available later on because that would kill sales for the Special and Collector's editions. But then again, they don't wanna announce that they are exclusive only to the special editions, then go back on their word later on if they see an opportunity to make more money. I think that's why they are being as vague as possible when people ask them about it on twitter and Rockstar mouthoff and stuff like that.

[Eutyphro]

Oh, so you just don't want other people to have that content because you are a douchebag? Nice to have that cleared up.

Oh, poor you. You obviously can't read and for that, I pity you. But just in case I got it wrong ill try to explain it to you again. Read it this time, ok? I do NOT, I repeat DO NOT care if it is exclusive or not. I just want to KNOW if it is exclusive or not. Right now, yes. It should be exclusive CE content. It's 150 bucks and it's in a LIMITED, COLLECTORS edition. I don't think when collectors are looking for things to collect that they decide to collect something that will be availible to everyone. That would incredibly moronic and yet, that is exactly what your are suggesting for R* to do. They're buying a COLLECTORS edition. Not a TIMED collectors edition. Get that through your increasingly thick skull because I'm not fond of redundancy. I've been repeating myself for far too long. I just want the facts of what I am purchasing. I don't very much enjoy misleading labels. Call a spade a spade. I'm sick of all this bullsh*t and pussyfooting. Get it? Got it? Good. I'm done. Unless of course you have something new to bring to the table. But that I very much doubt considering you can't even read properly. What could you possibly offer on this subject? I suspect absolutely nothing. And yes, now I'm just ranting.

[Redwood Cigarettes]

 

What is up with all these arguments saying: "Hey! What if they can't afford the SE or CE? Or what if it's sold out?!" Am I the only one who finds those arguments ridiculous? If you can't afford it, then you don't get it. It's 150 dollars, the DLC should be exclusive and if not they should say if whether or not it's a timed exclusive. I'm going to be very pissed if it ends up being released later and R* doesn't tell us CE buyers. Right now, I should be expecting that DLC to be exclusive since I'm paying 150 bucks. We payed a large sum, we got there in time to pre-order before it was soled out, then we should get exclusive CE content. If you didn't or couldn't do those things, who's fault is that but your own? Why should CE buyers be punished by taking away our exclusive content that we payed a lot of money for, just so you can get it later because on you "Didn't have enough money!" Or "Didn't get there in time!" We payed a price that should equal exclusivity. You didn't. Why should you get it? It's called a COLLECTORS edition for f*cks sake. Not a "Timed" collectors edition. R* better do the right thing here.

I fail to see how you're being punished by letting others have the same content as you.

Because I'm paying for a COLLECTORS edition NOT, I repeat, NOT a TIMED collectors edition. I payed a price that should equal exclusivity, especially considering its called a collectors edition. These "others" didn't. Why should they get COLLECTORS edition content if they didn't pay the same price? I'm not even asking for it to remain exclusive, I just want R* to be up front about i,t if it is not. Right now it's a COLLECTORS edition. If it ends up not being just for the CE, then they need to tell us or change the name to TIMED collectors edition. Simple.

It just doesn't work like that I'm afraid.

 

You are getting Limited Edition physical content:

- Nu Era Snapback

- GTA V Safety Lock-Bag

- GTA V Key

- Steelbook

- GTA V Branded Box

 

Which people who are buying the standard edition are not getting.

 

You are also getting access to exclusive DLC months before anyone else.

(Based on my opinion at least, that Rockstar will release all DLC for everyone later. They have always done it in the past, why change now?)

Then they need to tell me that. Right now, nowhere does it say the physical stuff is exclusive but the digital stuff is a timed exclusive. Do not put timed exclusive DLC in a limited collectors edition. That makes no logical sense. If its in a limited, collectors edition it should obviously be exclusive to that edition. Like I said, I'm paying for a COLLECTORS edition. I don't think when collectors are looking for things to collect, that they collect items that can be owned by EVERYONE else. That is stupid.

 

 

If its in a limited, collectors edition it should obviously be exclusive to that edition

The content is theoretically 'exclusive to that edition' because no other boxed version comes packaged with that DLC.

But it doesn't mean that it won't be downloadable for others later on.

 

It still retains a collectible value because of the physical goods and the fact our special DLC will come on physical promo pieces of card with the codes printed on them .

(Something that buyers of the other editions won't ever get.)

 

So in the end you are still getting something which other people won't have because they'll never have the physical promo cards with DLC codes printed on them.

Are you f*ckin serious, man? That's one helluva f*ckin loophole and it definitely doesn't justify anything. I think we are all in agreeance that this is just a sh*tty situation for all parties involved. I just want the facts, damn it!

I hope it's a least 9 months. I think I could be happy with 9 months.

[Eutyphro]

I do NOT, I repeat DO NOT care if it is exclusive or not. I just want to KNOW if it is exclusive or not. Right now, yes. It should be exclusive CE content. It's 150 bucks and it's in a LIMITED, COLLECTORS edition. I don't think when collectors are looking for things to collect that they decide to collect something that will be availible to everyone.

I suspect absolutely nothing. And yes, now I'm just ranting.

The word 'collector' applies to the physical stuff, hence known as 'collectors items'. Downloadable content is very hard to unite into that term.

 

Making it so expensive, adding DLC, and not saying wether it is exclusive, is a way to rip off idiots, true. But everyone knows that even if they said it was exclusive, even that does not mean it's exclusive forever in R* lingo. The Xbox 360 DLC was also 'exclusive', until it came to PS3 and PC 6 months later.

 

I agree people are being ripped off by not getting information about exclusivity of the dlc, but that's just a way for more profit for R*. Corporations have no morals, obviously. They are just profit driven institutions.

 

It's silly to say people who didn't buy CE or SE shoudn't get DLC. For two reasons:

 

1. The term 'collectors item' doesn't apply to digital content in common speech.

2. Seeing the history of DLC in special editions by R*, we expect to be able to buy it later on. People who are under this assumption are being underinformed as well, which you seem to overlook.

Then it seems we just have a disagreement on the definitions of the words. Agree to disagree, I guess? We won't be able to change each others mind on the term collector and how it applies to DLC. Stalemate for now, I suppose.

[wwinterj]

 

I'm saying I would be pissed if they did.

 

You'll be pissed? That's great! It still won't change that it'll happen and won't make R* come out and say "in-game content is timed exclusive" as I'd have thought that's blatantly obvious. The rest of your posts just come across as a kid on the internet crying so I ignored most of it. Grow up, let your balls drop and then reply to me with a better post that provides better discussion.

Holy sh*t! Your childish ignorance is extremely tiring. You're the one who replyed to my "Internet crying," dipsh*t. Nobody asked you to. I was just expressing frustration at an annoying fact. Don't like it? Don't f*ckin dread it, moron. And definitely don't respond to it if it's so childish to you. What kind of brain dead retard would do that to themselves? When I see stupid sh*t I tend to avoid it like a mature adult. But I can clearly see now that you are no such thing. Jesus Christ, you're so dumb! I think we can both agree that you think what I am saying is pointless. True? OK, then f*ck-OFF. No ones asking you to respond, no one wants you to respond. I have no time for children arguing with people they are annoyed with. I will not stoop to your level. If you do decide to grow up, I'll be waiting. Until then!

Here's a cookie: for owning the other guy.

[GTAfan786]

It's just a timed exclusive. The physical content they are giving with the editions are the actual exclusives, while the in game features WILL soon be released onto the PSN store in a month or so, but not too long. Besides, we probably can already do these stuff in the game, it's a matter of unlocking the feature or actually looking for it.

[Durden]

I for one hope they don't. It gives us hardcore fans something to gloat about. Although, I feel that the eventual release of the DLC is inevitable. I just hope that some stuff will remain exclusive.

"Hardcore fan", there's no such thing as "hardcore fan" just because you pay more to a company with a stupid CE pack that has some digital content in it. There's nothing hardcore to that. You're a hardcore fan when you've played all GTAs from 1. IN MY /OPINION/

I'm not saying everyone who buys a CE is a hardcore fan. When I said "us" I was referring to the people that buy the CE because they are hardcore fans. A wealthy casual fan may buy V's CE.

 

Regarding exclusivity, I don't care if everything gets released later on. I love supporting R* as a business and so I will pay them a little extra because I am proud to be their customer.

 

May I ask why you're not getting the CE? Do you not appreciate GTA enough to warrant the CE, or do you just lack proper budgeting skills? And don't say because you won't support that evil day-1 DLC money-whoring bullsh*t because money-whoring schemes are not R*s style. If It were, we'd be counting down the days until GTA VII right now.

Because it isn't worth the extra cash.

 

Standard edition: $60.00

Special edition: $80.00

Collector edition: $150.00

 

You'll telling me its worth the extra cash? It isn't. I bought the Special edition ( First Special edition I ever bought ) just so I can support Rockstar like a true fan and not a brainless gamer.

Nope, you bought the SP because of all the cool, extra features it comes with. If you really cared about supporting R*, you'd buy the CE. I don't even wear hats, yet even I'm buying the CE. Why? Because I support R*. Something that you really don't seem to understand.

 

Hype outweighs our senses towards what's a good/bad deal. A smart consumer (such as you, according to your claims) that is really hyped & excited for GTAV may purchase the CE because of their sheer excitement for the game that drives them to be as close as possible to the game - picking up all the merchandise, even if its not useful. This is my situation. I'm a fairly smart consumer, yet I'm buying all the GTAV crap R* throw my way not because I'm a 'brainless gamer', but because I am that hyped. That's what hype does to people, and I'm sorry if you're too bitter to realize that.

I'm smart about my money. You may be right that I did indeed only got the special edition for the in game add ons. I would not spend $70 for a few cars and a garage. I won't even use the physical things. I rather wait for the DLC in a year and get the DLC for a dollar or two. That's smart thinking. Now if you're going to use everything in the collector edition then I understand you buying it but if you only want it for the in game add on then it is a stupid buy.

After reading all five pages, I'd like to give my two cents on this issue. I'll just start with my opinion about Rockstar giving this content out later on after release. NO. Why? To explain, lets compare buying one of the three editions of GTA V to buying a new car. Say you and I are going to buy a new Subaru Impreza WRX. Maybe you only have enough money to go for the standard WRX, so that is what you buy. Sure, it comes with all of the standard features like "performance" seats, Bluetooth hands-free phone/audio, and some other stuff, but it isn't quite as good as the WRX Limited, which is the model that I'm getting. It has leather seats, HID headlights, sport-designed gauges, GPS, a spoiler, and some other goodies. So because I'm spending more money, I'm getting a better product. Does that give you the right to sh*t your pants and demand that Subaru gives you the same features that the WRX Limited edition has, because you "just don't have the money" for it? Nope. You pay for what you get. I paid more, so I should get more. You paid less, so you should get less.

 

I truly have no idea why some of you whine and cry when Rockstar "cuts content" from the game to give it to people who pay more for that content. Oh, you don't have the money for it right now? Well that sucks for you. Don't expect companies to fill your hands with stuff you don't deserve when you throw your hand out saying that they aren't being fair when the offer extra content to those willing to spend extra.

Thank you god! Another human being on this form with a fully developed brain! I applaud you, sir. Couldn't have said it better myself.

You're wrong. They did it with RDR as well, and don't tell me that it's a different game because i know. But the did exactly the same thing. All the stuff is either already going to be in the game, but we might find it later on, or released as a DLC later on.

I'll laugh in your faces when Rockstar will release all the in-game content from the CE for a few bucks.

I'm wrong? I gave you my opinion. Nowhere in that post will you find the word "fact."

 

I disagree with the methods that game developers/publishers use to make money, like this. However, NOTHING that I paid extra for should be available to you, unless you paid the same amount of money as me for that content. Period. There are no if's, and's, or but's about it. The only way that the content could be sold off to people who didn't purchase special editions of the game should be a "Complete Edition". And that complete edition of the game shouldn't be available for at least two years.

 

Don't act like you are entitled to the bonus content without paying the extra fee.

You're the problem with the world today. You only care about if you pay more you should get more. Comparing a game to car is funny and I will not even respond about that. Lets compare Call of Duty to Grand Theft Auto. Call of Duty been doing this for years and they release their in game add ons to the public. You want to know why they do that? For extra cash. Why have a add on sit there and not make you any money? It's stupid. Even with that. Why f*ck around with more then half of your customers? That's why no company keeps a exclusive add on only for the special edition. It f*cks up your image and you lose money that you could of gain.

You'll find out later on. Meanwhile, keep your useless opinions to yourself because I've already told you, they've done the EXACT same thing with RDR. These editions contain features that are unlocked STRAIGHT AWAY, so people who have bought the normal edition have to unlock it in the game or have to look for the things. Or even if its not that, it's going to be released as DLC later on. Other businesses don't do this, EA and Activision actually take out the features from the game literally and re-sell it to their foolish customers without releasing it as DLC's later on.
