Digital Deluxe vs Physical Copy

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion

My girlfriend and I have decided to go with Digital. For many reasons. So yeah, we’ve got our PS4 theme and everything on its way now. Lol.

Basically the only thing you miss out on with the digital copy is the CHANCE (I’ve seen it said as “while supplies last”) at getting a figurine with the game, a random one of five. So for a possible chance at one of five figurines you should pre-order the physical copy. For the extra skins, taunts, legendary gear and season pass I feel confident with the digital deluxe purchase myself.

I don’t know if it was intentionally this lopsided but gameplay wise all benefits come from the digital side.

Expect to see more of that. A retail presence doesn’t have the importance it used to and because there is no physical cost of goods on the digital version, the profit margin has to be considerably higher.

I didn’t consider that, makes a ton of sense. It’s like I paid $80 for access to programming - nothing tangible, all they had to do was let me download their files. Easy money for an easy experience I suppose although I often get hard copies for trade in purposes but I’m sure one day it simply won’t be worth it any more.

The only reason I want a physical copy with a deluxe upgrade is because I can get 20% OFF the game from Amazon for a physical copy. Then I’d save some dough.

I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be a digital deluxe "upgrade"
I’m just wanting some confirmation for this
I’m old-school when it comes to my media; physical or bust, if physical is an option

I’d do the same but 1. I paid my pre-order with cash; 2. The GameStop is about an hour away, and 3. I want one of those figures. 3.5. Old school gamer

I really wanted one of those figures either, untill I saw them… I’d rather not have any of those in my house. ;p

#58

If anything get the box set :stuck_out_tongue: good for a work desk

xp
I still wish I could get the digital bonus things with a physical game but whatever. If I have enough money, I can always buy a physical version. ;p

If there was an Attikus figure I’d have had a harder time deciding but again you don’t even know which one you’ll get. Check Amazon after release maybe someone will sell their figures.

#61

1 week until the game drops (YAY!!) but I still dunno if I can get the DIgital Deluxe version as a hard copy (or a hard copy with the digital deluxe bonuses). Or an option to “upgrade” or w.e

I just want the damn Physical copy AND Digital bonuses. :confused:

Hey @JoeKGBX, just checking to see if you have received any additional information on this yet?

Still no news, unfortunately. With launch quickly approaching, I doubt we’ll have anything concrete before then. Really sorry about that guys. Feel free to keep pinging this thread every so often and we’ll see where things go.

Well, the official website has some information relating to what is included in the Digital Deluxe Edition. And if you get the DDE you can still get the figures here.

@Misguided I don’t know what version of Battleborn I bought.
It was bought on Xbox One shop as a Bundle pack what ever that means.
So is there a way to find out what version I bought?
