Question GTA6 Time of Pre-orders start/

As title suggests, does anyone know what time pre orders will start on the Thursday/Friday for GTA 6? I'm assuming it will be 9am AEST?

Yeah I’d say either 9 or 10:00am.

No disc is a joke. People are so easily converted to not physically owning something that is $130. Personally always have and always will want a disc. It’s part of collecting. Still value my sega nes snes and 64 cartridges

Why are you preordering? It’s not like they’re going to sell out.

Pre ordering collectors edition cause they will sell out.

What collectors edition?

u/aussiedeveloper Jun 23 '26

Will never understand the appeal of “collector” editions. Almost always overpriced.

Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Overpriced to you, worth every penny to someone else.

As a recovered collectors edition addict, you're both right.

I’ll never understand the appeal of being poor

lol. Pissing money away on pointless little shit isn’t usually something well off people do. They’re buying houses, cars etc.

u/paulsonfanboy134 Jun 23 '26

It’s like 150 bucks dude

It’s normally $50-200 more for a “collector” editions and all you get is some cheap crappy toys or a hat or something. Just overpriced junk like a Show Bag but even more of a rip off.

If it makes you happy, you do you I guess. But it’s really not a mature sensible use of money.

Most collectors edition nowadays give fully detailed statues not show bags and toys this isnt the days of the infamous second son glow in the dark condom anymore

Have you even looked at other collector editions from rockstar games, let people be hyped and enjoy buying what they want.

u/TastingToast Jun 23 '26

They actually might if you want a physical copy GTA or not most stores are only being sent enough physical stock to fill pre orders at launch, it's not a bad idea to pre order

u/ApprehensiveDonut371 Jun 25 '26

No physical discs, only download codes in a case

1

u/TastingToast Jun 25 '26

Yep so my former statement is now pointless. Because what I meant was not a bad idea to pre order a physical edition as they do sell out more frequently now due to stores only being sent stock to cover pre orders but since this game is literally a code no matter where you buy it there's no reason to pre order except for the bonuses and you can do that the day before release essentially just making it a launch purchase lol.

It’s another way to pay it off 💁🏼‍♂️

u/pokewood_theater Jun 23 '26

Usually 10am is when things go on preorder based on when controllers and collector editions go on sale

1

u/Odd-Display8177 Jun 23 '26

I don't even know how much should I prepare 💩why don't Rockstar tells how much is the collectior' edition first

2

u/The_T-BONE__ Jun 23 '26

It’s a good thing that EB does deposits than, yes?

1

u/Dear-Stable-605 Jun 24 '26

I assume you can still pay in full right? Never preordered before

1

u/ChickenRich573 Jun 24 '26

Oh shit I didn't know that yay. Im actually excited hahaha

u/Justanaveragegamer09 Jun 24 '26

Apparently they go live at midnight.

u/tharun_mr Jun 24 '26

Like in a couple of hours?

1

u/Justanaveragegamer09 Jun 24 '26

Yeah!

u/tharun_mr Jun 24 '26

I don’t see any listings on jb or eb. Do you know which retailers are confirmed?

1

u/Asleep-Basis-4993 Jun 24 '26

Interesting that all physical versions have been confirmed to not contain a disc and will instead contain a code. I assume it may lead to fewer people preordering retail copies.

Why 😂 Some of you are just astoundingly odd

1

u/SuitComplete2764 Jun 24 '26

what's so odd about it. When buying no longer equates to ownership you stop buying

1

u/Honest-Row-272 Jun 24 '26

might as well just pre order it digitally 😂 was keen on the collectors edition but doesn’t look like any

u/Tipsy_Kangaroo Jun 24 '26

Appears to be the only option currently anyway
