Rockstar is giving away custom GTA V Xbox One and PS4 consoles

The attention is fast turning to Thanksgiving tomorrow and the shopping bonanza that is Black Friday a day later. But before you disappear, Rockstar is running a giveaway for a highly collectible couple of games consoles, and it doesn’t cost you anything to try and win one of them.

What Rockstar has done is to design its very own custom GTA V casing for the Xbox One and the PS4. Both use an exclusive black-on-black GTA V design including laser etching on micro perforated metal panels. The glossy green is painted onto the panels, and matched on the controller designs. It looks great, is very limited edition, and could be worth something a few years from now.

Entering to win one or both of the consoles couldn’t be simpler. For the PS4 just visit the Rockstar Games Facebook page and enter your details. For the Xbox One you need to head on over to the Rockstar Games Social Club instead.

If you’re not lucky enough to win one of the consoles, Rockstar is offering 10 runners-up prizes per console in the form of a Deluxe Prize Pack. They contain exclusive, new official GTA V gear and collectibles. The pack includes things like pin and sticker sets, a paper weight, mouse pad, T-shirts, and even an exclusive water bottle. Check out the image below for the full contents of the pack:

Some good points are made in the video, and you’d expect Rockstar to be kicking off its marketing machine right about now if the game was still launching before the holidays. But there’s been nothing new to talk about or look at since E3 in June. Recent news out of Rockstar has all been focused on GTA Online.

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, Rockstar will have to say one way or the other within the next month or so. We’ll either see advertising and a final release date announced, or we’ll get a press release explaining that the development team needs more time to get the three versions of the game ready. Hopefully it’s just a case of the game not launching until mid-November and Rockstar is putting the final touches to its inevitable marketing blitz.
