Microsoft is paying for the added items? If so,then high five to the guys at Microsoft for hooking up the people who purchased the collectors edition.
Witcher 3 Collector's Edition getting exclusive physical content on XB1 [CDP Comment]
- Thread starter ShogunDarius
- Start date
Well, yeah, but we're talking about the physical collector's edition and obviously things that are entirely digital can't be included. Also, no reason to include things you can't use in a console. My point is that they have been doing exclusive content for a while now, even since The Witcher 2. True, they own GOG, but it's still exclusive content, for a cheaper price, even if you take away the games included. So they never really lied about parity. The Witcher 2 on GOG and Steam were different in terms of pre-order content and the same happened when they announced pre-order bonus for The Witcher 3, even before this. They obviously meant game parity, not the different editions available for each platform.

Ok, I'm getting this, sorry Batman
Sure it is. They aren't going to say that though, certainly not in a press release. Maybe they'll address it at some point in a less formal place. However, what other motive is there? I doubt they are doing this because they really wanted to give Xbox owners a little something extra.
MS def thinks its going to attract somebody, otherwise they wouldn't be paying for it. I'm willing to bet that MS really wanted in-game exclusives and CDPR resisted, and this is the compromise we end up with. You're still getting exactly what was promised to you in the PC CE, the only difference today is that Xbox owners get a couple extra toys.

She should respect what you want to use your money on mate. If its from the shared account then.. yeah, probably would not buy something like this, but if your money sorely, she should appreciate the nerdy part of you.
PC version gets the Playstation content as well. As did Watchdogs I believe.
Married to a non-gamer.
If you are pooling your finances together and If you haven't done this yet - work out a budget where you each get to funnel a percentage of your shared pay into a discretionary account.
No bitchin aloud or allowed about what you use your funds for. Same goes with what she buys with her money - in fact feign super interest and let her make her own stupid purchases.
With all that has been going on i wouldnt be surprised if even that 1080p, turns out to change in the future. (Ps4 version)
CD Project certainly has lost some of its "we treat gamers equally" aura...

They already don't. The GOG version of the game is gonna include a bunch of stuff that console gamers won't get, stuff Steam users won't even get. That's all digital knick knacks though, kind of like this. The actual game is going to be the same for everyone which is the implication I'm sure the quote is going for.
I still think that the Collectors edition should have parity just because it's decent chunk of money.

So PC and PS4 pay the same for the collectors edition but receive less? That's kinda shitty.
If you don't have love for the board/card game community that's fine but it hurts so bad man. It's so painful... At least let us BUY the extra stuff! I'd pay $100 for it!

I can deal without physical goodies let them have it.
They're still treating us equally and didn't break the promise of parity, because they meant game parity. Like I said before, The Witcher 2 was already the same thing, so nothing has really changed.

That's gotta be rough for people who like that kinda thing. I've never been a fan of paying extra for what is to me, useless clutter.

Meh, as long as it is not in-game content I am not really concerned. It sucks for those who value that sort of thing more though.

nice way to spend money MS exclusive cloth BS. Meanwhile Sony is funding first party games.

Gamestop used to (they still might) hand out physical content pre-order bonuses too. This is really no different.
Wasn't there some Alien exclusive pre-order in-game content that got a lot of flack as well?

I don't know why people took that parity promise so serious. I mean, everyone has seen the NVIDIA wolf, right? That was before we saw a first gameplay trailer.

That is one of my ultimate fears, and its why I'm still alone. Finding a woman who plays video games is the hardest challenge in my life.

As a PS4 owner, I could give two shits about the cloth map. But I'm sure the PC guys are not happy.

I'm okay with this. If they want to put more swag in the xbone collector's edition, that's cool. It is all the in-game content that I'm worried about.
In the end, it doesn't really matter to me, since if there is even a chance that a game might have DLC, I just wait until a complete edition is released anyway.

CD Projekt is known for releasing a free upgrade one year after the release, including a lot of fixes, optimizations and hours of new content. It's called "Enhanced Edition". You won't have to wait for it, because it will be free for anyone that will have The Witcher 3. Sure, you can wait, but they don't release paid DLC.

Gaming girlfriends are highly overrated.
I didn't appreciate playing games by myself until I dated a girl that loved video games. She wanted to be there when I played single player games (so I had to practically play by her schedule because she didn't want to miss any of the story), and she was a nightmare armchair gamer, constantly telling me to do this or that. Then she'd want me to watch her play games, and she was TERRIBLE. At all genres.
Although that is a worse case scenario.

This is... incredibly annoying to say the least.
CDPR were the last developers I trusted. Because of that, I preordered my CE the first day they were available and I'm a huge fan of gadgets (loved the good ol' Ultima times, when a normal copy had so much stuff inside, often cloth maps). I'm very disappointed that they betrayed my trust and sold out to ms.

At least it isn't in-game content... but as someone who has pre-ordered the PC CE, it's a little annoying.
I don't really get why this is happening though, I don't see what Microsoft stands to gain from presumably paying someone off to add this stuff in when it's something that's going to sell out almost immediately anyway.
