I hate physical collector's editions that don't include a physical copy of the game. Will get the standard physical.

Yeah.. wtf is that garbage. For so much money and not even a disc.

What would happen to PS5 Digital console owners if they ordered a collector's edition that came with a disc?

A digital code can be used by both Disc and Digital console owners.
A disc can only be used by Disc console owners.

Venom looks massive. I sense an epic set piece during that battle.

 

[ManaByte]

“Venom is black, you like Venom don’t you?!?”

 

[DeepEnigma]

“Venom is black, you like Venom don’t you?!?”

Explain.

 

[poodaddy]

Jesus Christ where do I preorder the statue edition. Give it to me. Give it now.

 

[ManaByte]

Explain.

He publicly shamed his racist toddler on Twitter once, and used that same line but with Batman instead of Venom.

Ah yes, I remember that. Threw his 4 year old under the bus for his own insecurities and clout gain over "shit that never happened for $1,000, Alex." What a douchebag.

 

[GymWolf]

Nice, hopefully we get a release date for the ps5 version they are keeping hided.

 

[SportsFan581]

Venom is a giant in this one.

Looks fun though, good to get a solid release date for it.

 

[Salz01]

Kind of was hoping or thinking there would be a playable Gwen.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This game is going to be massive for Sony/Insomniac.
‘SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE’ - Biggest Domestic Opening of 2023 so far

 

[PlayedStation]

Ahhh, with my birthday being 8 days later this game will be the perfect gift.

 

[sendit]

It’s going to be fun referencing the Spiderman 2 graphic thread once this releases.

If that's their choice Sony should make a separate digital only version of this CE, I'm sure they would be happy to own this statue and steelbook as 3D models in Playstation Stars gallery. No more pointless clutter for them and more friendly to environment.

 

[oji-san]

So you are fighting Venom and not only using its powers, thats good.

 

[hussar16]

IL buy if graphics improve

OK final game will be 4K with full RT and 120fps, prepare your money.

They can buy the digital deluxe edition, they made their choice. Or Sony could also produce a proper physical collector's edition.

Or, you can sell the digital code and buy a disc version to go in the case.

Most publishers have been doing this for these CE's the past two gens, mainly this one. It stinks, but it is what it is.

You know, it would be better in that case if the collector's edition didn't include a game at all (and was correspondingly cheaper), and then you could choose to buy whatever version of the game you want. Ragnarök did this I think? I will admit that I thought that was stupid too, but having only the digital version of the game in a physical collector's edition is stupider.

A few did that. I think RDR2 had a box without the game, D4 recently. A handful of others.

I don't thing they're as attractive as with a game, however. Code or not. But as others have said, if you have a digital console, but want the collector's stuff, you still can have a game since the code works on both, a disc does not.

Yeah, but I bought a disc drive PS5 so that I could buy physical games for it.

I get it. Maybe trade with someone.

Or we should start a thread for these situations where people will do each other a solid and trade if they were going to buy digital anyways.

I'm just gonna buy the standard physical edition, don't really need more statues and crap lol. I just think it's a pretty dumb way to do it!

 

[R6Rider]

Fucking hell, I wish they did normal Steelbook editions.

Seems they always lock it behind the collector editions now.

 

[mckmas8808]

Yeah dude looks 15-20 feet tall.

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

No physical disc is crazy

 

[MALpractice311]

Isn't this weird that they decided not to reveal release date in their home show but then announce a few days later in a less hyped showcase?

It really is. Plus all those other third party games that are getting additional trailers and demos in different showcases. I really don't under Sony's strategy with that showcase. Where were their other first party studios? If they got rid of all the duplicative third party trailers, they would have had a ton of time for in-depth previews. The only way Sony's showcase makes any sense is if they decided they only wanted to show games that had hard release dates between now and April/May 2024.

I don't care for fps 30 is fine or even 40 fps.

 

[Dr.brain64]

Super hyped!

 

[Icymanipulator]

The statue looks so good… damn

 

[Gambit2483]

Fucking hell, I wish they did normal Steelbook editions.

It's insane they make you Pay extra for a steelbook....with NO DISC to put in it.

My theory is they are taking advantage of collectors and physical owners. They want to force them to double dip. Buy the collectors edition then the standard to get an actual disc.

If that's the case then that's scummy af

 

[Topher]

Skins in the Digital Deluxe Edition cannot be unlocked in the regular edition.



Is that typical?

I think so. I imagine they'll have a digital deluxe upgrade fee of $10 at some point to get them. I'm probably doing the DDE. Sure beats $10 for a soundtrack and art book like other games.

 

[EverydayBeast]

First of all, people with digital wont have a clue what coverart or statues are. One thing I’ll never forget about the first Spider-Man is the city.
