Video Games Plus, a gaming retailer based out of Canada, and an independent gaming retailer known as Loot Box Gaming have both stated that they won't be selling GTA 6.

Not huge retailers in the grand scheme of things, but interesting to see at least some taking a stand especially when they are almost certainly losing out on money by doing so.

300GB apparently. So not far off. Especially with SSD prices these days.

    Blame the people wanting to be able to see every flies asshole. Textures get huge fast.

    It is. But I don't think it's any more weird than photo realistic horse balls that seem to have been all the rage a short while ago.

    Not surprised they're large, mostly because the asset sizes are dictated by what screen resolution people play (yeah, 1440p fomo) and how big their monitors are (27" or bust), and how often they stream or make screenshots.

    Man, they should offer disc anyway so gen-z can experience the "please insert disc 2 and press continue" while installing.

    It'll be the Windows 95 14-disk floppy set all over again, but this time with 18 DVDs

    I see you were also traumatized by the floppy release. Lol

    I had pre-ordered the CD release from Babbage's, and went to pick that up. Being that I was only 15, I had to get a ride, and it was also 45 min each way, so this wasn't exactly easy for me.

    When I got home, I still hadn't realized they gave me the wrong one and cracked it open to see the horror. Said screw it, I wasn't going to be able to go back anytime soon and installed it for the next hour or more.

    Luckily, because this was pre-activation key (we remember those days, right? ... right??), when I took it back, they apologized and gave me the right one without much problem.

    Only installed once from 14 floppies, but it still was terrible.

    Isn’t a series S as low as 256gb?

    That tells me the game needs to be under that

    I have a Series S and the usable storage is around the 360GB mark.

    I'm not going to buy GTA6 but imagine having to dedicate your whole console to 1 game :(
