Selfridges opens a GTA VI shop in London

Selfridges opened a GTA VI shop at its Oxford Street flagship in London on Monday 9 November, VGC and Insider Gaming report. The store's own website calls it "World exclusive: Vice City at Selfridges". The front of the building is lit in the game's colours, and since late October one of its twelve Christmas windows has been dedicated to Vice City.

The range has more than 60 items, and VGC counts over half of them as sold only at Selfridges. Prices run from £5 for a shot glass to £2,500 for a Goodtime State varsity jacket. In-game brands feature too: a Vice City Manatees football helmet costs £450 and a Burger Shot apron £250.

Demand outran the stock within hours. Almost 100,000 people joined the online queue, and by 09:40 GMT Insider Gaming reported that nearly all the exclusive pieces had sold out. Rockstar has not posted about the shop on its Newswire. For everyone outside London, the official GTA VI collection stays at the Rockstar Store. The game launches on 19 November, and pre-load opens on 10 November.
