I play on both PS & Xbox, and I can confirm the only thing harder between the two platforms...is the weight of my teammates.

Juices confirmed

Who buys a PlayStation for shooters honestly?

Is it true that Heckfu backpacks have the density of a small Sun's core?

Don't worry jucies I'll carry you out of silver into semi pro. Onyx at the least.

So why is is in Off Topic now? Or should I assume I know why?

I still blame it on letting The Oddone take charge of one ill fated thread many moons ago.

Halo isn't a video game anymore, it's an experience.

See.

This is the most accurate answer.

"we're updating the LCE to include an actual disc. our bad"

I wish people would be so hyperbolic about things, "ignoring the fans!"

 

[Forerunner]

Just include a disk! Who cares if the CE is shipping before other copies. People are paying $250, might as well let them play a bit earlier.

Spoiler

I just want to play earlier. T_T

 

[Slightly Live]

Honestly surprised this place hasn't been locked. Dat erotic fan fic post.

 

[Haruko]

I'm one of the weird ones who is happy with the LCE as is, I guess. I'm all-digital this gen on the Xbone, and getting a steelbook to sit next to the old titles on the shelf is a nice bonus.

I do hope they give people a choice. I want the digital copy but understand many do not.

 

[Slightly Live]

The idea of shipping a CE early is stupid. Makes no sense have one SKU with an earlier release date.
The idea of a $250 SKU not coming with the game on a disc is even more stupid than that.

Yeah, considering how day-one patches, mandatory installs, and preloads are just going to become more and more common, having a physical disc becomes less and less beneficial.

Eh, I totally understand why people like having discs (in a lot of cases I do too) but personally I love the way 343 is doing the CE. I'm not getting it because I don't want any of the pther stuff, but with Destiny for example I like all the physical CE stuff but I hate that it's on a disc. Throwing in an empty steelbook complicates things though I guess.

It's tough to satisfy everyone though without making everything even more complicated by having a standard edition, a limited edition, and two nearly-but-not-quite-identical CEs.

The way I see it, if you are charging hundreds of >insert currency here<, you can afford to chuck in a disc that costs pennies.

 

[nillapuddin]

I for one will be really upset if they shoehorn a disc in now. I was really pleased when I found out it's digital.


I get a physical collectors item, I still get to play on launch night, I get a case for my collection, everyone wins.

What is the point of the disc? Is it just reducing bandwidth?

It's hard to sell a digital copy to gamestop, amigo.

Yeah, but "Collector's" editions aren't supposed to be targeted towards people likely to trade it in...

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Maybe throw a replica disc into that steelbook case, it's not like you can keep a cloud or online multiplayer based game to play offline years later.

I was happy with the week early, a steelbook for the shelf and digital myself. It would/will be cool to sort through everything in the CE while waiting for the official release. Now I sort of hope they actually give both digital and a real disc a week early. Pay bucks for early access and also become 1 week early real world gamma testers to the full release.

Spoiler

that one is for free

 

[Slightly Live]

Paying for the CE and getting the game early would cause Bungie scale bad PR.

Fair, but personally I value the convenience of a digital version vs having to deal with a disc.

 

[Poodlestrike]

This.

I can appreciate that some people still prefer physical, and the reasons why, but the LCE having a digital copy was actually a pretty big plus for me. Hope that whatever solution they cook up doesn't involve axing the BK edition w/ the code.

 

[User 73706]

well, i suppose now's a good a time as any to get started on my kickstarter for Promethean Nights: Book One of the Greg Twink Trilogy, detailing the depraved exploits of a spry young Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting and his spirit hijacker grizzled mentor Shadow-of-Sundered-Star

Options are always good.

I double dip buying the books digitally and physical, but only because books are cheap.

Isn't Forza 6 doing something like this? Buy the deluxe edition and you can play the game early, I believe.

#NoSuchThingAsBadPress, not that I believe that wholeheartedly.

Also Bungie had a ton of great and bad press over the years, they made out just fine. I think after MCC it's an easy PR spin that CE owners help test the final build and patches for public consumption. Also allow multiplayer streams etc but lock campaign out for that week. As in don't even allow CE owners access to play the campaign until midnight launch.
