[Draugoth]

Q1, 2023?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

£20 shipping though, no thanks. I'd have grabbed the deluxe but that shipping price puts me right off.

 

[TVexperto]

100 euros including shipping yikes nope im out

 

[ManaByte]

The PC version comes with a DVD with the Steam key on it.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

That's a really cool collection for the price. Gonna be lots of double dipping.

All for $79.99 (not including expensive shipping!)

[Deft Beck]

Convenient timing for its inevitable sweep at TGA 2023 next month.

 

[struggler_guts]

Gatdam I almost never double dip or even get deluxe editions, but for 79.99 this is a steal!

 

[Gambit2483]

Because of course.

Anyone know if this is a limited release? This sounds limited.

 

[Mercador]

Playable on disk?? What year is it? I didn't know it was still possible the way the big games are coded.

 

[adamsapple]

Deluxe only? hmm..

 

[Tsaki]

The Series X copy is probably in 3 x BD-50 discs and the PS5 in 2 x BD-66.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Whoah, looks dope af! Will def grab it although I wonder if will get stocked at EU retailer partners as well.

Guess I'm answering myself XD. Physical release is exclusive to their store.

Also.

Great. Right now you can't even buy it because the server brings up an error message at checkout.

 

[Mr Moose]

20 shipping... No thanks.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

There's no need to rush your pre-order.

Because of course.

It's not. See above.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Btw, they're currently shipping to EU (including UK and Norway), US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand only.

If you're outside of these regions you can still get the CERO physical release from Amazon JP: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0CKBNFMVL/

 

[Outlier]

The PC version comes with a DVD with the Steam key on it.

So a Collectors Edition. lol

 

[Metnut]

Will probably be summer 2024 by the time I’m finally ready to dig into this beast. Will be a hard call if the digital is $40-$50 by then but the physical is $100 after shipping.

I almost always tend to go physical, but I’ll have to check on the pricing.

 

[kingwingin]

Thank god it’s not limited. Will definitely pick this up once I’m ready!

 

[LordCBH]

Sign me THE FUCK UP!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Physical Edition for Baldur's Gate III releases on Q1 2024.

Just now noticed, but that giant fucking USK rating logo on the PS5 copy is a major turn-off. WTF, Larian!? Just use the smaller PEGI for European copies and the ESRB one for NA copies.

 

[Zug]

No d20 ? Missed opportunity.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Is this a Larian store exclusive?

 

[XXL]

I would recommend buying it digitally.

But honestly, even with the high shipping cost it's still worth it.

It's literally one of the best games of all time and possibly the best game of all time, imo.

It's 100% the GOTG at very least.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

The PC version comes with a DVD with the Steam key on it.

boo
what a waste

full game should come on a thumb drive.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Is this a Larian store exclusive?

Yep. Though I still hope they'll do a standard physical release through retailers/amazon later on.

Whoah, looks dope af! Will def grab it although I wonder if will get stocked at EU retailer partners as well.

Tiago Rodrigues Can you add my post that's in the quote to your OP? Ty!

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Plus it's $80 with a high shipping fee? lolno

 

[Gambit2483]

I am highly doubting their stores capabilities. What if they got inundated with 50k+ orders? Orders would probably be backed up for months.

Clearly they are going this route to secure as much profit as possible but something tells me their production lines and logistics probably aren't set up for thousands and thousands of orders...but we'll see.

 

[Gaiff]

Already got it on have 300 hours on PC but I'll get the physical edition for it anyway.

 

[splattered]

They should have waited a little while longer as they worked on the Series S version... prob could have figured out how to get them all on single disc.

 

[Last Hearth]

So if I just burned my steamapps BG3 folder onto the disc, I would have my own physical edition. right?

 

[Sleepwalker]

Ah you know what, I've blown $100 on way worse stuff.

 

[Sleepwalker]

From steam I'm not sure, but from stores like GOG, absolutely.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Or a paper CD as Ducktales from ps3

 

[Calverz]

Ordered PC physical. No way im playing this on consoles lol

 

[Sleepwalker]

What? Pics lol

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Interesting! So Larian even went as far as contemplating shipping the PC physical release on USB sticks (among other delivery mechanisms).

 

[LegendOfKage]

If someone happens to know, what is the current file size of the PS5 version after the most recent updates?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

A retail store disc version will probably come later.

 

[Mythoclast]

Im wondering which version would hold the highest value on the long run?

 

[Quezacolt]

Hell yes, now i can finally get the game.

 

[fatmarco]

Im wondering which version would hold the highest value on the long run?

PC version is a dics with an installer which requires internet/ the game is downloaded, whereas the other two are physically downloadable from the disc, so I'd assume PS5 is the best bet.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Im wondering which version would hold the highest value on the long run?

I'd guess the Xbox version will have less copies sold, upping the rarity. Add the fact that it has three discs, something extremely abnormal for this gen.
