Console shortage warning ahead of GTA 6 release date

As we all know, GTA 6 is being released on the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S only, which means if you don't have a current gen console and you want to play the game, you'll have to buy one. But not only are they super expensive right now after repeated price rises (thanks, AI!), there are warnings that it may be hard to actually find a console.

The Game Business reports that a major games retailer has told it there won’t be enough consoles to meet demand over the Holiday period. Here's the quote:

Details

"We’ve been informed that because of the on-going issues around hardware component availability, we won’t be getting the units we want ahead of GTA. Demand will likely outstrip supply during the year end period."

The big GTA 6 price debate

To kick things off, let's run through how much GTA 6 costs. Rockstar has announced the GTA 6 Standard Edition costs $79.99, which amounts to a $10 increase on the standard price for a triple-A video game this generation. The Ultimate Edition, meanwhile, costs $99.99, and includes exclusive content. This has sparked a significant debate about the value of GTA 6, as well as the value of the content locked behind the Ultimate Edition. So, which edition of GTA 6 will you buy?
