    Interesting if that is true and GTA fans are crazy or is it just some artificial drama to create additional “hype” around the game and sell some consoles at overprice.

      It’s scalpers. Literally the first sentence in the article.

      “PS5 Pro consoles have all but vanished from major US retailers in the wake of GTA 6’s extended Netflix reveal, with third-party sellers on Amazon and Walmart charging as much as $1,300 for units that normally go for $899.”

        That fucking stupid, do the scalpers know that the GTA VI won’t be on the 5 but the 6? And do what they want I have PS5 and even if I didn’t wouldn’t buy another one. Hell the one I have now is in its original box and put away.

            By “6”, maybe Fred means the 5 Pro?

            I don’t see why it wouldn’t come to the base PS5 though, albeit with lower graphics.

            I was told this was not going be available on the 5. So what are you talking about? Did Rockstar change the release date or something? I didn’t think it was coming out for at least other year or two.

            Doesn’t matter fuck Rockstar will not pay 100 dollars for a video game.

                Really when did all that change? What is the price? Because just months ago Rockstar was doubling down on the hundred dollar price tag. Is still not going have disc or did that change too?

                  I believe the regular version will be $70. It’s releasing as digital only but they did say they might print actual discs later on. They’re probably trying to show down piracy I’m guessing.

                    Well 70 dollars for game that won’t have physical copy of no fucking way. I am not 100% against digital only. I own tons of Steam Games and bought games from the Playstation store. Hell my PS5 game with Spiderman 2 pre installed. But not going pay full price for it.
