Does it really only have a download code for the game and not an actual physical copy?? If that's the case MS dropped the ball IMO

Yep, no physical copy.

Ya no physical but you get it a week early

What about the limited edition does that come a week early too?

no

Have been eyeballing this for months at Best Buy. No physical copy = no buy.

This isn't a CE of a game, it's just a stand alone $250 statue.

I think the "digital code instead of the physical disc is not good" thing is the last thing consumers care about. At least Amazon showed that since it was ranking higher than the other 2 editions.

Thats....weird

OK so you get the pack a week early, but you don't get to play the game a week early? Seems bloody pointless. Who cares about getting the toys and memorabilia early when it's the game you'd want to have the privilege of playing early by paying large amounts of money for the extra special product.

As a collector's item a physical copy of the game should be an integral part of the product. If I was a true blue collector I'd be buying the collector's item and wanting to keep the game case and disc in mint condition by never opening it, and I would buy a separate copy of the game to actually play. And in that case getting it a week early means nothing at all.

Just don't get how the Limited edition does have a physical copy and the CE doesn't. I mean You are paying 250. You should get a physical copy of the game.
