Rockstar Games has announced a limited-edition collector's box for Grand Theft Auto VI priced at £349 or $400. The 11-piece collection features Vice City-themed merchandise, including custom sunglasses and figurines, but does not include a copy of the game. Pre-orders are currently open, with shipping scheduled for November 19.
Selling high-priced collector's boxes without the base game has become a standard industry practice, but it exposes a rift between pure product promotion and consumer expectations. While lifestyle and product outlets showcase the physical collectibles for dedicated collectors, regional gaming coverage underscores growing pushback when high costs are paired with omitted core products.
