GTA 6 collector's edition will cost $400, will not include the game
GTA 6 collector's edition will cost $400, will not include the game Grant St. Maybe it's just a satire of horrible marketing practices, in true Grand Theft Auto fashion. If so, the just-unveiled GTA 6 Collector's Box is a punchline unfortunately made at our expense.
