Loving the thread. Currently waiting for my Switch P3/P4 plus the slip case to come in from LGR. I know that LGR sucks but I had to have the Persona physicals.

I also picked up a copy of P3 Reloaded for a decent price and got my FFVII Rebirth Deluxe … which I am not even opening since going to get PC version hopefully.

Nvm

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I almost exclusively buy physical. Everything here except Viva Pinata is pretty recent pickups:

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

There better be a Physical PS5 version for Dave.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

There better be a Physical PS5 version for Dave.

I think they will a few months after the game launches on PSN (it's currently slated for an April release).

My latest additions

Why 3 copies?

 

[Chastten]

New pick-ups from the past 2 months! added Unicorn Overlord to the collection yesterday, making it physical Switch game #144!

Love physical for various reasons and I'll always keep collecting Collector's Editions, but I'll proabably dial it back for the next gen. With Covid gone my game time has drastically decreased again so my backlog is getting pretty big right now.

 

[Kupfer]

Why 3 copies?

Quite a funny story, by mistake.

I bought the copy on the far left second-hand, but I was a bit hasty and didn't look closely. The game came from a library or used to be their property and they secured it with stickers on the disk and case. They also cut out the part between the front and back cover so that the game would have stood around on the shelf without a label.
I then put the cover back together with a photo editor and printed it out, it looks quite good, but when I tried to remove the sticker on the disk, I tore off the picture of the disk and exposed the first, white, layer.
I have no idea if the disk still works like this.
That fucked me up, which my girlfriend noticed and ordered me a new, intact version of the game a few weeks later as a surprise. Unknowingly Iof that I also happened to order a new version at the same time.
So now I have 1x zombie TTP, 1x gift TTP and 1x purchased TTP.

Collector's Edition for Omori (very good indie game, btw) has just been announced.

That is an EXTREMELY COOL pack-in.

Man, US copies of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade for the PS5 are insanely priced.

I thought it'd be nice to get a copy to put alongside Rebirth and Crisis Core, but they're going for $100+ on eBay. Guess the US release was super-duper limited.

Sorry to hear that, the game is like 30€ (~$33) in Europe. Maybe an import is worthwhile?

 

[simpatico]

I've gotten back into collecting old games. NES->PS2 gens. Anything after that I prefer digi. Too many games aren't playable in their best form directly off the disc, so there's less upside. But SNES cartridge vs emulator?? Shit son, cartridge all day and it's GOTTA be on a CRT.

And yet there are many that work wonderfully out of the box, even more than those that do not.
More info in the original post or directly on https://www.doesitplay.org/
This will be the case for the games listed here in particular, as most of them will only be released as disc versions several months after their digital release and are therefore already patched on the disc.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It looks like the upcoming Monster Hunter Stories Collection for PS4 will receive a physical release as well but only in Europe.

Grandia HD Collection which was announced earlier today will be getting a physical release through RLG on both PS4 and Xbox

Deluxe and collector’s editions of P3R have finally been shipping in SEA.

Wtf are they? Damn. Should have picked up one from Walmart months ago.. I almost did.

Just paid 41 bones for a physical copy of Pentiment. Talk about a game whose graphics will stand the test of time. Try CENTURIES.

Saw that, but I already have a Switch copy and not sure about giving more money to LRG.

Yeah, hate LRG, especially as I'm from Europe and importing from them is expensive. Just look at this.

It seriously pisses me off that they get so many distribution deals for the games I want to own and play.

Yep, I grudgingly ordered P3/P4 with Slipcase cover from them, didn’t have the ridiculous shipping fees and still feel like I shouldn’t have done it.

Totally understandable with P3P and P4G since It's hard to resist FOMO. I skipped their pre-orders, buuuut I do plan on snagging the P4G Switch version once it shows up in stock at VGP (they have a deal with LRG and stock some of their releases)

In retrospect I should have done the same, but I went dumb and wanted the dual slipcase cover.

VGP is a good seller but the custom fee risk is pretty high If you live in europe.

I think they fixed that maybe a year or so ago because I've ordered 5 times from them in the past 6 months and never had an issue with customs (I currently live in Spain).

After the whole community manager fiasco, I refuse to buy from LRG. I will just wait and get it on eBay. I don’t want them getting my money.

Will there be a Physical PS5 version of Dragonball FighterZ??

Also, not sure how the fuck I missed this announcement last week, but apparently Fan Gamer will be doing a retail physical release for Citizen Sleeper (Switch Only). Hyped af!

Citizen Sleeper getting physical release on Switch

Today, Fangamer announced that it’s producing a physical version of Citizen Sleeper. Although only a standard version is planned, it’ll come with several goodies.

Unless Switch 2 (or whatever it's called) has a similar format, I worry that the Switch will be my last physical set of games I purchase. Fortunately I'm getting of my most beloved games on the system, like most of the mainline Final Fantasy games, and now I got one another one of my all time favorites on it as well

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Kinda random, but it appears that LRG will be doing a physical release for Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

A Space For The Unbound, a very good indie adventure game with great pixel art from Indonesia, will be getting a physical release on PS5, PS4 and Switch at retail.

Almost missed it lol if it wasn't for friend of mine asking for my thoughts on the game. Needless to say I'll be getting it day one probably on the Switch.

 

[Kupfer]

Dorfromantik is now available for pre-order, be quick

According to the website, 9% of 4000 copies (i.e. less than 400) are still available

Got my preorder in for Pacific Drive Deluxe PS5. Really excited for this one. Big fan of survival and driving games, so it looks right up my alley.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Just saw this new listing at one of the specialist retailers I buy my physical games from.

Global indie publisher and distributor SelectaPlay is thrilled to announce that the special PlayStation 5 retail boxed edition of the first-person adventure game Inner Ashes is out today. This emotive title is available exclusively in Spain via specialist retailer GAME España, with other selected European and North American territories also stocking the physical edition*.

Adventure fans can grab the wonderful physical version of Inner Ashes, which encapsulates the games’ poignant messages. The specially designed sleeved box will include a printed artbook showcasing the game's artwork and a code to download the digital soundtrack of Henry’s emotional journey as well as the full physical version of the game.

Developed by Calathea Game Studio, Inner Ashes is a first-person narrative puzzle adventure game that invokes the daily struggles of Henry, a person living with early-onset Alzheimer’s. Henry must go on an introspective journey through two different realities on his quest to remember why he and his only daughter, Enid, have been estranged for so long.

Edit- Just blew the rest of my budget for the month on a physical copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance on the Switch. I'm going to give it a go!

P4G will be stocked soonish at VGP if you're interested in snagging a copy at a decent price. They ship internationally as well.

Good call, just ordered the Royal Edition for the PS4 because of your post.
I have the feeling it's getting more and more rare and now the game still is affordable.

 

[Kupfer]

For the German physical lovers, Media Markt / Saturn is currently offering The Witcher 3 Complete for the PS5 for €15.99 when you pick it up in store. It is listed at 19.99€, 4€ will be deducted in the shopping cart.
According to doesistplay.org no download is necessary and all DLC / game content is on the disc, with the exception of the armor of a thousand flowers set, which requires an internet connection for the reward menu in the main menu.
So far I only had the game digitally on the PS4 because it was outrageously cheap in a sale at some point.
With this version I can finally put the complete game on my shelf - nice.

 

[Deerock71]

So....heh...now I've gone over budget, and paid through the nose for a physical copy of Persona 4 for the Switch. With all these glorious RPGs, I may never need another system.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Oh shit, it looks like System Shock will be getting a physical release on PS5 and XSX. Totally missed the announcement!
