I know that people like 'things' but I'll admit I haven't bought a physical game for 8 years now (and I don't miss the disk faff). 😉

@SofaJockeyUKonly thing i disagree with is that they have found a way to sell you something you dont physically own.. a digital asset is nothing. people complained about when they were going to raise the price of video games to $80 USD and they actually did do that by not selling you something physical. saving them money in production. sheep will be sheep. i just want something physical of this edition.
Exactly right @iiBullFrog ,
Unfortunately then EA don't care to bother about all the trouble it is to design, produce, distribute and sell physical items like a gold-plated BF2042 Gold Edition case and DVD.
It could otherwise have been really cool with the "Ultimate Ultimate BF2042 Limited Edition" diskset version, being a shiny platinum hard-case with stylish BF silk prints and platinum discs inside with the game and all documentaries and media files, music and all.
But no, they just run it cheap.

You are showing your age @CyberDyme ! I've ditched all my game CDs and Music CDs after copying them to drives. I'm guessing you're 50+. I'm in my mid 60's, you have to roll with the times, and hopefully I don't need a collection of plastic to prove I'm a real fan.
Not sure where the "For the real fans" comes from.
Whilst I understand wanting something tangible to hold, a digital library is far more convenient.
I prefer disc versions, but it appears there won't be one for the Gold or Ultimate. I pre ordered the standard and will just purchase whatever content I will miss out on by not going digital.
Basically I'll just miss out on playing a few days earlier. Not a deal breaker for me.
