sounds stupid but you just know people will buy it anyway lol.
I actually prefer this. I share accounts with my brother. We take turns buying games and i also like to collect these editions. Before i had to buy the game again digital if i purchased CE's. Now I can just wait a few years for the physical games to go on sale a grab it for $5 or so.

I hate this. I mean, I get that some people would want the collector's items but still have the game digitally, but why not make one edition with the physical game and one without it then? I would personally never buy this. I mean, I wouldn't anyway as I know those items will just end up collecting dust (I've done it a few times, although never these mega editions), but not having the actual game included makes it very easy.

That would mean at least 3 versions of each collectors editions. 1 PS4 version with disc, 1 PS5 version with disc and 1 PS5 version without disc.
Makes zero sense when you can just include a code which can be used for all versions without any issues. As a PC gamer I haven't even bought any discs for a decade. Don't even have a disc drive anymore.

You know my gut reaction was being annoyed - but you're absolutely right, I totally forgot they make digital only PS5 -- and I couldn't see them including both, -- so this actually, begrudgingly, makes the most sense.

Yeah they should increase the price another $50 for people that want it.
Shame really. But I'm not collector anyway

Well, I still buy big releases on disc, partly because it's cheaper (new releases are ridiculously expensive on the PS Store in Sweden), partly because I'm old and like having a physical collection. So buying this big physical collector's edition but NOT getting a physical copy of the actual game is just all kinds of fucked up to me.
Some of you legit channel DORY like nobodies bidness. Go read your original comment. Your whinging that the CE isn't a complete package when clearly it is, and it is immediately obvious given the PS5 SKU's why it doesn't come with a physical disc a disc that someone can easily obtain because - again - the CE comes with a code instead of an actual game disc which would have pushed the cost of the CE up.
. . .also, CLEARLY people want this as the thing has already sold out.
Pre-ordered the collector's edition as I really want the mjolnir.
No disc indeed sucks tho, but I guess I can live with the empty steelbook as I display them on the wall like this.
That FC6 case is fantastic. I wonder if that is Giancarlo's handwriting.

I find it expensive since basically is a plastic hammer a and the other stuff is useless ,. The Horizon collectors edition is far superior.
But both share the no disc trending ...do not get why they put just the case.
Honestly I expected something better for this game , specially since could end a saga ,. The fate of Kratos is o the table.

I do say it is incomplete. I said I never commented about cost, supply or anything else in your post. I also never said people don’t want it either. I only speak for myself. So again, the fuck are you on about? Going to move the goal post every time you reply?

I am a huge physical fan.
I do however understand their position since both Xbox and Sony have a digital only console so I can't fault them for it.

Go back and read your original comment mate.

I said, very specifically, outside of the context of a “collectors edition” that people would not go buy a plastic god of war hammer on its own for $200 and I 100% stand by that.

So people buying this expensive shit can pawn the case for 50€ on eBay.

When was the last time ultra CE was not a blotted box full of plastic crap to highlight your virgin status?

These editions are pure shame: a physical edition for collectors, including a STEELBOOK, with no physical game at an insane price.
SONY: put this hammer deep where it belongs.

What time is it?
True. It's amazing the love and care that Working Designs put into their releases. It's amazing that we went from that to Halo cat helmets.
I'll be interested to know what EA game this started with. I remember the £200 Halo Collectors edition in 2015 having no disc and that kicking up a storm. We should pressure them to offer a disc in exchange for the collectors edition digital code in the same way.

Ah when people say "no game" I mean not even a copy of the game physical or digital. They sell you the collectors edition stuff and then you have to go and buy the game separately on top. Their excuse is this way they only have to make one collectors edition set and then you just pick the correct platform of the game yourself. The issue is that these CE's without a game cost the same as the ones that used to include a game for a platform... so people where not happy.
I believe EA started that with Battielfield 1 in 2016, Mass Effect Andromeda soon followed.

Stop buying them and they’ll stop doing it. They exploit gamer OCD. And people can’t resist.

No thanks. I'm gonna get a disc version.
Oh I see. For what it's worth this includes the digital PS4 and PS5 copy.

Could have just had the retailer either hand you a download code or a copy of the game when you pick it up.

I loved Witcher 2’s CE where you got currency from the game, dice from the mini game, a good sized art book, and a statue bust. I have a bunch of maps from Rockstar’s base game. I still have the Dragon Age cloth map. A lot of those maps I don’t know how to display, so they’re just a stack of cool maps.
Oh yeah and a deck of Witcher 2 themed cards, a strategy guide, the making of, and the soundtrack. Anymore they highlight the figure and that’s about it.

I would rather have the disc tbh but it's not going to stop me.
I've been waiting for this impatiently ever since the ending of 2018.

Imagine spending $200+ for a toy hammer and trinkets that will never be used ....
Everyone is entitled to spending their money on what they want but its no wonder companies keep taking advantage of customers. Its crazy that this actually sold out and going for scalper prices.

They sell a digital version and a disc version instead of being assholes?
