  "account": "Grand Theft Auto VI, also known as GTA 6, is causing a frenzy among fans, but it appears that Amazon may not be the most reliable source to secure a copy. According to a post on Reddit, physical copies of the game are reportedly sold out on Amazon, although it's worth noting that the game is a digital-only release. The discrepancy lies in the fact that only the Xbox Series version is currently sold out, while the PS5 version can still be pre-ordered on Amazon. The reason behind this apparent shortage is that pre-orders via Amazon and other physical retailers will only result in a download code being sent, rather than a physical disc. While this may seem counterintuitive, given that the game is digital-only, it seems that Amazon has depleted its stock of Xbox boxes containing these download codes. As an alternative, gamers can pre-order GTA 6 directly from the Xbox digital storefront on their console, without the disappointment of an empty box on their shelf.",
