Standard Vs Special Edition?

Definitely worth it. However the price between the Special and Collector's is definitely NOT worth it.

If I would have gotten in early enough I would have pre-ordered the Collectors Edition which I think is also worth it.

This. I was going to buy the SE but neither GAME nor R* Warehouse could guarantee a release day delivery.

 

I'm happy with standard edition though smile.gif I'll just pass up on the physical items and wait for the DLC to be released for everyone else.

Hopefully all of the extra content will be available as DLC like what happened with red dead.

As stupid as it sounds, i just want to pilot the blimp mostly. I think a blueprint map would be cool as well as the extra bonus in game items included, but DAT BLIMP

The question is: Is it worth paying the Collectors Edition for just in-game content vs the Special Edition?

The steel book case and the blueprint map are worth it alone. The weapons and other items are frosting on the cake.

Alright i just pre-ordered my Special Edition. Can't wait for the 17th, it's going to be quite the wait but hopefully we will get some more pictures/video to pass the time

I only got the SE because I almost never buy any editions of games, with the exception of Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition. So, if you're not into buying them often, I would suggest getting it only because it's the last GTA for a very long time.

Don't go with what other people think. If you don't think it is worth it, don't buy it. The special edition contains a Collectible SteelBook with Exclusive Artwork, a Blueprint Map, Bonus Outfits and Tattoos, Special Ability Boost, Stunt Plane Trials and Additional Weapons. So, yeah, I would say it is worth it, but it's upto you.

Well, on Amazon the game is £34.99 for standard edition, compared to £54.99 on Rockstar warehouse. I only preordered the special edition due to there only being £10 difference on the warehouse site. Still getting the special, though. Steelbook cases are purty.

Definitely, it's the most popular decision right now next to the standard one. Those extras are definitely worth it dude!

CE or bust.

Me too, take no chances when it comes to V.

I preordered the standard edition and the hardback strategy guide. I would've liked the steel case and the blueprint map, but I figured the guide would be of more use to me. Though, I probably won't use it the first playthrough, I just wanna have it so I can know every detail about the game later on. All of my game cases are hidden on a shelf under my tv anyways. I would've also liked the faster special ability boost but it'll mean more to me when I complete the game without having that luxury.

Yeah it's worth it, the only think I don't like is the steelbook case since I've noticed they tend to dent very easy. Wish they would just package the normal copy with it since I'm gonna miss not having a traditional GTA cover.

In Australia it's $109 for the normal and $119 for the special ed.. so it's sort of a no brainer for me. That's rrp so you could probably find tha normal one $20 to $30 cheaper

 

Lol and if you think that price is high that's because games In Australia are overpriced.. considering the Aussie dollar is only buying $90 US now confused.gif
