So my aunt hit me up yesterday saying she wants to get me GTA 6 as a gift. Super nice of her, but she's never touched a controller in her life and I'm already sweating about how this is gonna go.

I'm on PS5, already pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition digitally because I wanted that Vintage Vice City Pack, but she's insisting on a physical copy to wrap up. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I also don't want her to get scammed or buy the wrong thing. She asked me what website to use and I froze. Like, do I tell her Amazon? GameStop? Some random key reseller that'll sell her a Steam code that doesn't even work because there's no PC version yet?

I know the Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate is $99.99, but I'm not sure she'd know the difference. I'm thinking maybe the simplest thing is to just tell her to grab a PlayStation Store gift card and I'll buy it myself, but she really wants to give me the box. We're all counting down to November 19th, and I'd hate for her excitement to turn into a headache.

Anyone else dealt with this? What's the easiest way to guide a non-gamer through buying GTA 6 without them getting ripped off or confused? I'm sure I'm not the only one with clueless relatives trying to do something nice.
