PlayStation announced Tuesday the arrival of a new “Grand Theft Auto V” bundle and a custom audio mode for the PS3.
According to a blog on the PlayStation website, the bundle will be $299 and include “a 500GB Playstation 3, a Blu-ray copy of Grand Theft Auto V and a 30-day PlayStation Plus trial membership.” The bundle will be available the same day as the game, September 17.
In addition to the bundle, gamers can also pick up a custom, Grand Theft Auto V Pulse—Elite Edition headset on September 17 as well.
According to the blog post, the headset has a look and feel specifically geared towards the fifth installment of “Grand Theft Auto.” The headset will be $179.99.
Accompanying the headset is new custom audio that amplifies sound at the most exciting parts of the game such as explosions and car wrecks. The new audio mode can be downloaded for free courtesy of the Pulse—Elite Manager App.
“GTA V” made headlines after it was announced the game will not be available on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. However, Take Two Studios CEO Strauss Zelnick said this wouldn’t be an issue, according to MCV.
“Grand Theft Auto V is the most highly anticipated release of our biggest franchise," said Zelnick. "It features the largest, most dynamic and most diverse open world Rockstar Games has yet created. The installed base of current generation consoles is estimated to be in excess of 120 million, and most of those consumers have been waiting for Grand Theft Auto V for years. Therefore, we expect there to be enormous consumer demand for Grand Theft Auto V regardless of when the next-generation consoles are released."
The rumor mill recently buzzed over a fan-made map that was said to reveal how the game would actually look. However, many believed the map was a fake.
“Grand Theft Auto V” is available for pre-order at $499.
