The Vice City Collection of GTA VI Costa il Quattrovolte del Collector’s Box di Red Dead 2

Rockstar Games revealed the collection “Vice City”, a Special Edition of Grand Theft Auto VI with a price of $399.99 that does not include the game itself. Here is the official description from the Rockstar Games Store: The collection includes: - 15 cm statuette by Macca the Gator - Oakley® FrogskinsTM sunglasses in matt black with Prizm Sapphire lenses (GTA VI) - New Era® 9FORTY A-Frame Hat with Decorations Vice City Leonida - Macca the Gator pocket mirror - Cucchiaino da Vice City - Shaver wrench of Vice City - Shoulder bag Leonida Keys - Glasses Chunkee the Manatee - Custom Metal Pin Set Leonida Keys - Premium adhesives in storage bag - Double-sided poster showing the entire landscape Leonida Size / Size: Approximately 48,26 cm x 34,29 cm x 31,75 cm. The preorders are now available for the launch of November 19, although only for North America and Europe. Learn more about how to preorder the full edition in Asia, Latin America and Australia will be shared shortly; Rockstar also anticipated the imminent arrival of additional clothing and collectors in the store GTA VI. The collection boxes without the game are not new and Rockstar has inaugurated the modern version. The Collector's Box of Red Dead Redemption 2 cost $99.99 and was free of play, explaining that it was not a game edition but a separate accessory package that players could match the physical or digital version they wanted. Blizzard followed the same logic. Diablo IV's Limited Collector's Box cost $96.66 and was free to copy the game, even in-game objects, linked to the preorder of digital versions. Blizzard presented it as a way for players to match the digital editions they wanted with physical merchandising, and the box did not arrive until June 30, more than three weeks after the game was launched. The Mass Effect Legendary Cache of EA, released along with the legendary edition in May 2021, went even further along the same path: its focal point was a 1:1 scale replica of the wearable Shepard helmet, and included a steel case for the game but no download code. Considered all this, the price of the collection Vice City (about four times that of the Collector’s Box of Red Dead Redemption 2 or the Limited Collector’s Box of Diablo IV) is remarkably high. It also surpasses the prices of collectors released by Sony for its recent blockbusters, which cost $230 - $250 and at least included a digital copy of the game. If you go back to a generation, the contrast is even more marked: the Collector's Edition of Grand Theft Auto V debuted at "only" $149.99 in 2013 and a copy of the game was included. VERDETTO: CRITICO Il prezzo di questa collezione Vice City è semplicemente eccessivo. Quattro volte il costo della Collector’s Box di Red Dead 2 per un oggetto che non include il gioco stesso – e si fa appello a una serie TV ormai datata – è un segno di sbilanciamento palese. Blizzard e EA hanno dimostrato la stessa logica, offrendo pacchetti accessori separati per giochi lanciati senza includere il prodotto principale. Il fatto che Rockstar possa giustificare questa cifra con l’ispirazione a “Macca the Gator” non mitiga in alcun modo l'assurdità del prezzo, specialmente considerando la tendenza alla massimizzazione dei profitti nel settore videoludico. Resta da vedere se il successo di GTA VI giustificherà un simile investimento di denaro per una collezione che, a conti parziali, equivale a un biglietto aereo di classe business.
