wha? exclusive disk collectors edition? lol, that makes even less sense. They are still selling collectors edition xbox versions it just comes with a digital version
Collector's Editions for Ubisoft games on Xbox are now digital only (PlayStation versions still offer physical or digital) [UK]

That doesn't make any sense when they offer the base game as a disc.

Oh, is there? Well that changes my take on it I guess. Well hell, as an aside...is the base Xbox version on a non UHD then? That actually kinda sucks a bit for a Series X user, I suppose. Not a huge difference, but still.
Wasn't suggesting they had, just a potential marketing shift from the current one with Xbox...
... that is clearly not the case. Thanks, hadn't appreciated/noticed that.
I'm happy with this (as a PS4, future PS5) owner. Even with Ghost of Tsushima I wanted digital code for the game and just the items in CE. Sometimes I'd like to choose whether or not I want a physical or digital variation of the game.
Sucks that Xbox players won't even have the option to choose.

They're only making this change with the collectors edition.
It's Smart Delivery so Series X users who buy a disc based version were in theory always going to be downloading the entire game anyways.
You could just buy figures and whatever yourself. Those figures are rarely exclusive to the CE.
Can't think of many. Spiderman PS4 statue you can buy, Leon from RE2 can buy, Jill from RE3 recently started being sold. Square Enix often use Play Arts Kai figures which are widely available.
Posted in a later thread.
Fuck forcing digital on anyone especially on a collectors edition. The stragest part is why it´s Xbox only also? Dont they even have the marketing for Valhalla?
If this is some don´t want to pay fot he limited print costs it´s really nice seeing that MS warchest that people always talk about surely is being put to good use.

Just make the collectors editions their own SKU with no game then people can buy whatever version(physical, digital, PS5, Series X etc) they want.
EA had it right with the Mirrors Edge Catalyst collectors edition.
Just start doing that again.

Whether it's a partial or full download, it's a big fat turn-off if you buy games on disc to actually.. get the game on disc rather than download.
I gave up discs long ago and still buy collectors editions (like Destiny Shadowkeep and Beyond Light). I'm fine with this.
It's honestly pretty stupid, they should've just sold the collectors edition minus the DLC/Code altogether and give an appropriate price that doesn't include that cost so people can buy whatever they want separately (digital/disc), keep the fancy case in the Collectors Edition. Either that or just let people choose disc/digital when they purchase, that shouldn't be a problem these days.
I get that. Once we finally move past Xbox One versions, then those discs will be just the Series X version but we got a year+ to go for that.
Retailers can't. Publishers can.
This change is due to the publisher than the retailer.
Could be that Sony toughened the situation? Because that seems to be the only real reason I could figure out.
Dont think so, seeing as the Shinobi tweet above said that PS owners can choose to get either digital code or physical.
It's something Ubisoft dictated than any of the two console makers I think.
I mean, yeah. Didn't Capcom publish that out of the physical sales of their video games last year, less than 10% was Xbox? I wouldn't be too surprised if Ubisoft was seeing something similar. Plus, it gets them ahead of the Series S likely lacking a disc drive.
I personally don't like this move, but I can see the business logic of it.
Until we see if other publishers are doing the same thing, we can't really say since right now it's isolated to just Ubi.
I actually like the option to get a collector's edition with the disc and a download code instead. All i really want are the physical goodies that come with the CE.
Then I am having to buy second hand off ebay or something, a lot of times at a mark up. It's just not worth the hassle.
This is a best of both worlds solution for PlayStation. As a digital only guy, I'm more likely to buy a CE that features a digital code, but I don't want the choice of physical taken away from my physical brethren.
I usually only buy these because of the Steelbooks so if they go digital only on PS at some point guess I'm done buying CEs from Ubi.
But I thought that was Sony doing that?? By releasing an all digital PS5??
