GTA 6 Release Date and the Death of Physical Discs

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
By the way, it is confirmed, for those of you that like me, still have a little bit of kid left in you that like to play video games, November 19th, it's official, PlayStation 5, Xbox, Rockstar Games, GTA 6

**Chris McMonigle** (0:18)
Really?

**Craig Carton** (0:19)
They've pushed it back so many times, that's so many years.
But the video, like the previews out, it looks awesome, and November 19th is the day where you're going to get it, which means for me, a little trip to Yardville, New Jersey, and a little store I like to call Video Express. And my guy Ben right there on Sunny Bray Boulevard. I'll be in line waiting.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:47)
GTA 6, it's the best place in Jersey.

**Craig Carton** (0:51)
If you're still like, you like to go to a Brickson Mortar store, it's an old school video game store, and Ben's a great guy. And my order's in.
You're not into that at all, are you? And your kids are too young probably for that. Although you can probably teach them how to grow up a little bit and let them start playing some GTA.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:10)
Hey baby, what's your name?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
I was gonna say. I have that guy dressed up in a Yankee t-shirt.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:18)
That's right. Hey baby, we service all Yankee fans in this white trash neighborhood.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:25)
They're not pixelated anymore either.

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
No, they look like real women by the way. Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
I'm fired up.

**Craig Carton** (1:31)
Yeah, me too. I'm pumped for it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:33)
I mean, I got into it a little bit when it was...

**Craig Carton** (1:35)
It's been so long.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:36)
Which one was the one...

**SPEAKER_4** (1:38)
It was Vice City.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:39)
Vice City, that was the big one. San Andreas.

**Craig Carton** (1:43)
Vice City was better.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
Vice City was the one I knew a little bit.

**Ben** (1:45)
They're all good, to be honest.

**Craig Carton** (1:47)
They're all good.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
I played a ball.

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
Yeah, that's right.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:51)
But Vice City had the great music when you were in the car. That old 80s music.

**Craig Carton** (1:55)
I think GTA V, what was the release date of 5?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:59)
I had it in 2013

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
2013, yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:01)
Wow, it's been that long?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:03)
And then...

**Craig Carton** (2:03)
13 years.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:05)
They still update the game, too, though, that one.

**Craig Carton** (2:07)
Yeah, but to be honest, I couldn't tell last time I put that in. I'm going to do it probably November 1st to just get the old thumb action back, to get myself back to the, you know, into the mix. But yeah, so November 19th, barring another delay.
But that would be the biggest Christmas gift, I think, of the season, don't you think?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:30)
I would think. Yeah, there's that.

**Craig Carton** (2:31)
So somebody better tell Ben, you better be holding me, one Ben.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:35)
You didn't talk to Ben already?

**Craig Carton** (2:37)
Um, I guess I could call him real quick. Let me just call him real quick. Good point. Good point.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:43)
I thought Ben should know.

**Craig Carton** (2:44)
I thought I just understood. Yeah. You know, I gotta call Ben before I forget. Hey, you're on the radio. Is that okay?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:51)
What's that buddy here on the radio?

**Craig Carton** (2:53)
Yeah. I'm live on the radio. Yeah. I got cursed. Yeah, no cursing. I just, it came apparent to me today that GTA 6 is coming out on November 19th. We good?

**Ben** (3:05)
It is. Well, basically, it's a code in a box or digital only. So I'll have to give you a code in a box. It's so stupid what they're doing.

**Craig Carton** (3:12)
Oh, no more disks at all?

**Ben** (3:14)
Well, not with GTA. No, they don't want anybody to own it. They basically want you to lease it so that at any time they control you.

**Craig Carton** (3:26)
So that way, I can't download the game to my system and play independent of being on their platform?

**Ben** (3:37)
Correct. But yes, you can download the game. You can download it via off their site or they're going to sell us a case with a digital code inside which is so stupid.

**Craig Carton** (3:48)
So in other words, if I want the case, which I don't give a rat's ass about, I can get right. Got it.
