As a physical collector I am still not too happy about this, obviously restricted on my platform of choice. Considering the price as well (charged the same with less items) and with the effect of devaluing my CE.

FU M$!

I hadn't spotted that until now, and that is some proper bullshit right there.

I don't know what to do tbh, I've had the PS4 version preordered since it was announced and so it's at £120 for me but for the extra £20 I could get a couple of extras that I think I'd quite want but for a platform that I plain don't like so far.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to start anything with any fanboys, I have both consoles, I just happen to personally dislike the Xbone for quite a few reasons in my experience with both so far compared to one another and so I've been buying all the multi-plats on PS4.


Their pathetic excuse is here I spotted after searching it.
You're damned fucking right it betrays your values, or are they too quick to forget all the utter horseshit MS tried to force on the Xbone about DRM whilst CDProjekt go on all the bloody time about GOG and DRM-free.
It's a disgrace and whatever person decided to go with MS should be fucking ashamed, as should all of CDProjekt for so easily forgetting all that they claim to hold dear when the smell of extra cash hits them.

This has properly pissed me off actually after seeing their response; what makes it all the worse is when you see the responses from others in other places and they make out that you're in the wrong because you actually give a shit and can see that this is a bad thing on a larger scale. The thing is, it's like these people have no foresight or are too willfully ignorant or apparently just plain stupid whenever things like this happens in that they're so happy to defend a company dropping its values for some extra cash and treat it as one tiny, little incident that obviously you're over-reacting to or you're 'butthurt' about, yet seemingly unlike them, you are viewing it as a bigger picture, seeing hypocrisy or a company hiding behind, bluntly, bullshit technicalities (like CDProjekt here saying about the digital items being not restricted whilst thinking that absolves them for fundamentally compromising their principals in another way) or anything like that and being disgusted and cringing to your core because in the end, it doesn't matter what you play on, little shitty things build and end up screwing everybody.


EDIT:
And just to be crystal clear, even if this was the other way about where the PS4 was getting extra content, or even PC, my reaction would still have been the exact same.

Just a update with the guide on amazon is now cheaper than the paperback @ £13.59

Those that haven't purchased it should get it now! Other that do have it with Amazon will get it with the pre-order price promise.

just used flubit too (UK only) and got another 10% off ** only till 12 midday if others using flubit!**, did the same with the FFX/X2 PS4 remaster - result!

Was debating to get the XB1 edition and sell off the game but like you too I got it for a low price (PC Version). Plus I would be supporting M$ and this sort of practices Will get the extras off ebay when it pops.

But I do understand from the developers point of view M$ has marketed the hell out of it (not like the games needs it) so CDR needs to give something back and to do that they had to shaft one area which unfortunately is us collectors. People complained on the forums in regards to this point that there will be no disparity between versions per CDR but most people defending this are just getting the game (no DLC disparity) but I would love to see the $h!tstorm if something happened to the standard edition (which more people are getting) compared to the CE which is all priced the same.

Thanks a lot mate. That's an unbelievable price. The only problem is that the cost of shipping to my country is too expensive and just not worth it anymore.

I think it would be hard to determine statue quality without being up close, really depends who makes both also

As for the witcher art book they have made a bit of extra b effort but I wonder if it is the top tier as if there is another more limited version it voids the extra effort

Even though I own x1 I also think it's quite a raw deal to give item exclusivity to one platforn

What's the size and how many pages is this book in the CE? Looks like Watch Dogs HB game guide thickness in the pic but something tells me this is not the case.

Pre-ordered! Mine is quite cheap compared to other CE guides thanks to amazon uk's pre-order price promise. Love these guide personally especially for the art and hardcover treatment. Best cover treatment though that pops to mine is the FFXIII-2 Piggieback guide.

Pic for those that are interested

SO you will get the Grimoire as long as we pre order the withcer 3 ce guide from amazon.co.uk?

I believe it the same with amazon.com - the pic above is hotlinked from amazon.com

the same pic is on amazon.co.uk - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...ilpage_o02_s00

Think I have it for £15.66. it's like 28USD at the momnet I think and £19.99 in the UK while £17.86 on the bookdepository. But for £15, a bargain with 586 pages plus the bonuses and e-guide!

and mine = mind in my other post, long day for me =/
