gtav-logo-1105

Those who plan on pre-ordering Grand Theft Auto 5 and like t-shirts, should consider dropping cash via the Rockstar Warehouse. Why? Because you’ll get a t-shirt featuring the in-game cult Kifflom scrawled across the front of it. The back reads: “The Tract Is Not Yet Written.” The shirt is only available to those in North America, but likely those outside the region can find one on eBay sometime after the game launches.

Grand Theft Auto 5 pre-orders for £30 at Tesco

20121123_gta_5_grand_theft_auto_v

SavyGamer has spotted a discount code allowing you to pre-order Grand Theft Auto 5 at Tesco for just £30 including delivery, well below the £45 standard for high-profile new releases. The UK retail market regularly enters a bloody brawl over major launches as specialist and independent stores struggle to match the deep discounts of large chains. GTA5′s release date isn’t till northern spring 2013, but the battle has apparently begun.

Update: According to GetUpKidAK, a price change means you’ll need to purchase a second item to get the discount.

Thanks, CVG.
