New-Gen Grand Theft Auto V Dated By Retailer

Priced too, but we'll ignore that.

 

The Xbox One, PS4 & PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V have been available for pre-order at various retailers for a couple of months now, with most holding a “provisional placeholder” or similar date of November. Today, however, it seems catalog giant Littlewoods know something a little more concrete, with their pre-order page holding a delivery date of November 14th.

Cara Delevingne, host of Non Stop Pop FM, teased an updated radio station lineup for the game earlier this week.

Nothing’s been confirmed just yet, and quite obviously that price of £70 isn’t going to be the best you’ll find, but we reckon this date is pretty spot on. If the title is dropping in November you can expect official word soon enough.

That's common pricing in the UK for far off games. They have a preorder policy where you are charged the lowest amount between your order and release, if they started too low there would be no way to increase it. By starting high they can then adjust their price once they have an official release date and other retailers have announced their prices.

Pretty much.

Placeholder prices are there as a precautionary measure for retailers - so they don't get stung by pricing; to which they have to honour if its in their pre-order policy. The game (in the UK) will probably be priced around the same as a full game, or (more likely) slightly lower than rrp at ~ £40.

What if during the preorder period someone exceedes the £40? Will they be refunded?

Of course, I dunno who would be daft enough to pay £70 for a game.

Think it largely depends on the retailer. But you would usually get charged for price the game costs at time of release. If not you can always cancel and reorder at the cheaper price (to lock your preorder), or order elsewhere



I'm betting this isn't accurate.
