    Nothing against baldurs’s gate 3 (I’m super excited), but I really don’t get why you would pre-order something on PSN? Also, I want to see how good the port is and how well it runs!

    Games are usually 10€ more expensive than a physical copy and sometimes I can get my hands on a physical copy even a day early…

    One reason I can understand is slow internet, but the pre-load isn’t live yet.

      No physical copies being released in any region and zero plans to do so. I hope they reconsider down the line, but it does not seem like they will

        You are completely right with baldur’s gate 3 - I really wasn’t aware of the fact that there are no physical copies…

        But still, why would you pre-order?

      A lot of companies are offering early access with digital pre-orders these days. Pretty sure Diablo had 3 days before release date and so does BG3.

        Yeah, I saw that with the deluxe edition you geht 72h early access to act 1 - but that’s only with the deluxe edition…

        And sometimes you geht access to the closed beta, which is also a tactic I really don’t like…
