GTA$ for GTA Online
Red Dead Redemption 2: Standard Edition Digital Pre-Order: Get GTA$500,000
Red Dead Redemption 2: Special Edition Digital Pre-Order: Get GTA$1,000,000
Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition Digital Pre-Order: Get GTA$2,000,000
That's a lot of stuff to take in.. but I got to say, for people like me who prefer physical copies, this is pure bullshit. Digital pre-orders are getting so much better bonuses. Kinda shitty!
100% getting the Ultimate Edition, whether it's physical or digital is a tough decision to make. Collector's Box looks fancy as well.
Anyway, what do you guys think of the Editions and what are you getting? Tell me in the comments below!
