Pre order DLC question

Amberlover

Hello.

So there seems to be much confusion online regarding the following...

We're huge fans and very excited and we're trying to pre-order physical copies of JPE and receive the extra 5 dinosaurs.

The digital version has these but the physical copies for the same exact price doesnt confirm the same pre-order bonus.

We can't imagine that fans paying the same price who are already being penalised with a month delay are also ineligible for the day one dlc....

Can someone please confirm how paying customers of the physical copies wishing to make preorders claim the same DLC as their digital cousins etc.

Or are these 5 dinos free dlc later for all or will physical copy pre-order customers have to pay on day one for the DLC ? (which digital customers received for free a month prior). (Please don't say that...).

Thanks

From what I have seen online the physical copy cost just as much as the digital deluxe version that comes with the 5 Dinosaurs. You can preorder the physical copy now and it costs $60. But you won't get it till July 3rd. I would say since the physical version costs as much as the digital deluxe it will come with the 5 extra Dinosaurs.

Those 5 deluxe dinos will not be free dlc for those who bought only the base game, it will be paid dlc.
In worst case scenario you can buy the deluxe dinosaurs dlc if they are not included in the physical copy but I also think they will be included.

From my understanding is that there will only be the regular edition for Hard copies, if you want the Deluxe you have to get the digital edition (Not sure why anyone would want to wait though, physical copies are almost dead)

Correct the Deluxe Edition is not available on hard copy only digital download, Which to be honest is miles better as you don't have to worry about your disc drive mangling your discs. [haha]

If that's so wouldn't the physical version cost as much as the regular download version, which would be $55? The digital deluxe version is $60 with the 5 Dinosaurs. Gamestop has the physical version up for pre-order and it's $60.

I would say yes but in today's gaming market the price of a hard copy game is less than a digital release not including collectors editions of course I live in the United Kingdom and the standard release of the game on the Playstation store is £50 where as the physical release of the game I have found on Amazon for £44.99.

I am still jealous, I live in Canada and here the Deluxe edition with tax was 98$

Inflation in Canada must be terrible. In America we don't have to pay taxes when we shop online. Some states are do have taxes though if the store has a physical presence in the state. I believe my state is one of them.

Thanks to all who replied.

Do we have this 100% confirmed ?

If so this is kind of... disgusting :?

If this info is true then the digital game is releasing early for a film tie in (which is bad enough for physical sales) and charging more for something which costs substantially less.
Nothing to distribute , market , produce , display etc and actually puts people out of work who sell games and work in the industries that physically make them.

The digital version cannot be resold and in my country thebdigital choice basic consumer rights of resale and ownership.

Also we can't display digital on the side.

Also digital can be altered by the devs and regardless if we like the alterations or they break the game we can't roll back while on physical we can.

So all of the above would be bad enough but it be a choice as digital also has benefits....

But... by only adding these dinosaurs as a pre-order bonus on digital..It's like a bribe which is denied to physical media customers .

That means we're being punished for our choice and out choice has been removed of we want the free dlc.

The fact that preorder for digital is an oxymoron which makes no sense and has legitimate function.

Also this isn't just cosmetics which we'd get understand. This is gamplay DLC which has been already made and removed as the game is to raise these dinosaurs. We're buying jpe to raise ingame dinos...not scramble around with pre-order to earn them.

Overall this is deeply troubling.

As fans who support the franchise and the game and the devs we're shocked that even if we pre-order the physical edition we will be treated as 2nd class customers undeserving of the digital bonus.

Not everyone has the choice to choose digital so we feel this is a form of passive discrimination in our opinions.

This isn't fun or cool or fair....the three cornerstones of Frontier games. The devs made a point of saying rhere would be no microtranactions of shady paymodels but this is literally a move from the mobile playbook and the last mobile Jurassic world game was freemium disgrace.

We ask that physical media customers are not discriminated against and are entititled to the same bonus via a DLC code we can request from devs if not our distributor.

For fans who don't agree ..at least you have that choice (and you didnt have to preorder digital to get it!) but that won't change the facts that physical media customers can't acquire a pre-order bonus while digital customers can :(

Would be great to get comfirmation of this. I have heard so many statments from that the physical copy won't get the option of the delux edition stuff, it will get the option, to it includes it anyway. Would be great to know. Surely we should know by now. Would rather have a physical copy but had decided that I would go for the digital delux edition for the extra dinos and get it so much earlier now I am back to being unsure.

Well, I guess if you're willing to wait 1 month for the physical copy then you can wait a coupe of extra days to see if is reported to have the deluxe dinos. If it does, then wait more for shipment, if not then order the digital version. The deluxe digital will still be available, it's only the pre-order vehicles that you would miss, but most don't seem to care about them, and they won't (presumably) be in the physical version.

Funnily enough that is my current plan. Am not fussed about the pre-order vehicles so am more than prepared to wait. Also I can see some gameplay footage first before commiting. Its just whether or not I break and buy it in the time between physical vs digital release, because I havent been this excited for a game in a while.

We're obvuously upset we have to wait and upset that we then seemingly have to buy the DLC dinos we wanted on top ...after being made to wait. It's like the puublisher is punishing us twice !?

As said a DLC free code for those dinos for physical customers who waited and or preordered would be appreciated....

I think you are honestly overreacting a bit. I am not sure if you were aware that physical is only for ps4 and xbox one. 0c isn't getting a physical copy

You probably haven't got a clue how digital copy sales work do you?
Regardless of what platform they bring this out, they will have to pay a set fee for every copy sold on Steam (PC), Microsoft (Xbox One) and Sony (PS4).
Or did you think the money goes all to the Developer?

And about the rest of your rant, you also have the option to just buy the digital copy, instead of a physical one, so don't give us that discrimination speach.

That's what I call blown way out of proportion the skins for the ranger jeep and helicopter and the five dinosaurs are for the Deluxe Edition edition of the game frontier isn't favouring one person over the next this has being a thing in games for some time,

And what's to say that frontier won't release a physical version of the Deluxe Edition before release?

If I had a dime for every person who complained and cried over not getting a pre order bonus for not pre ordering the Deluxe version to begin with I'd be rich,

So save the crying and complaining for Reddit much appreciated.

They confirmed it a while ago that there was only a regular edition physical release.
