This edition is available for Switch, PS5, Xbox > Series X/S and PC. The PC version, however, ships with a download code and not physical copies of both games. Preorders start on April 18 and end on May 18, with a release sometime after that.

For 666$, no physical game copy for the PC ?

I always find shitty when multiplatform deluxe limited editions are inferior on PC than on console, but here it's even worse: Doom 2 is THE PC game.

Most PCs don't even have a disc drive anymore. And physical is way inferior to digital. Fuck swapping discs.

A USB drive could easily be included.

For that much money it should be a custom one shaped like a BFG or something!

Some old floppy disks like the OG version would be a nice novelty, even if noone used them. EvE online did a thing like that for its 20th birthday box. They included a floppy disk with some old game data on it (I think it was part of an ARG, but I just had fun trying to read the data)

they included cassette tapes... not many folks have those either.

For $666 they could afford to ship a SD Card and an USB card reader.

Let's not act like anybody on PC cares about discs anymore. Besides, there are a million ways you can play Doom at this point.

The point was trying to make is that PC is often a second rate citizen in these collectors editions.

My guess is that if you're customer of these editions, you want a "beautiful" object full of goodies, and, as a collector item, you won't open them or use them anyway.

I guess this is the reason they started to make them without a version of game included these last few years.

could have put it on a usb drive for that much
