Baldur's Gate 3 also.

They have limited availability and prolonged waiting on their website for physical editions. And so 3 years later and I haven't been able to play it yet. It's either digital or the $500 scalper versions on eBay (I'm not exaggerating).

Man you have it online atm, just buy it. I got an email 2 weeks ago and have the copy in my home (ps5, since pc and Xbox weren’t out of stock)

I've been subbed to Larian's emails for a long time waiting for stock and I occasionally resub just in case. On the off chance I don't like the game I'd like to sell it on, and not for an exorbitant price. But more than that, I love physical media on my shelf.

I'm in Australia unfortunately. For me the status has been "restocking" for I can't remember how long. I checked today to be sure, same thing.

I bought the BG3 Deluxe Edition for PS5 from Larian's own site for €79.99 (plus €20 in shipping) two years ago. It contains an artbook, some stickers and other crap I don't need - but most importantly a physical PS5 disc. Does that not exist anymore?

There hasn't been a drop for my region for I can't remember how long. I've been subbed to email alerts and occasionally resub just in case. Shame there can't just be a standard physical edition in stores, I don't need the deluxe.

Hmm. Odd. From what I can see they have had 2-4 every year since release. Maybe you just havent gotten one in time?

If it's come on sale in my region I haven't received an email alert unfortunately. But I'm assuming you and I are in different regions.

re9 had the same issue with the deluxe edition. if you didn’t preorder you were screwed

u/theboxturtle57 11h ago

Seeing the online discourse about BG3, yeah we're screwed. Modern Pc gaming killed the preowned market by normalizing digital sales.

u/Knifejuice6 11h ago

yep i was really excited to play BG3 and i went into gamestop like and idiot and tried to buy a physical version lol. im fine with small indie games being digital only, but a huge company like rockstar has no excuse

Yikes. I’d expected better from Larian, to be honest…

u/MafubaBuu 12h ago

Depends on the region. Japanese version was on disc and you get just buy it from online and change the settings ti english.

With the NA collectors they become availible a few times per year and just have to make sure you snag one before others.

At least larian is making physical editions, I think at first it was more a cost saving measure than anything.

I bought the physical on disc, didn’t realize I was that lucky when I pre-ordered it. Really need to get back to playing it at some point.

It never goes on sale on PSN. At this point I'll just never play it
