Pre-Ordering Physical/Disk for BF 2042 Gold & Ultimate Editions

Hello,

I am trying to pre-order the Ultimate Edition of Battlefield 2042 for the PS5, but I cannot seem to find anywhere that is allowing preorders for a physical/disk version. Either if its a mom-and-pop retailer or big chains like BestBuy or GameStop, the only physical preorders they have for BF 2042 are for the Standard Edition. 

My question is, are there going to be physical/disk versions for the Gold & Ultimate editions, or are these editions of the game exclusive to digital storefronts and ownership only?

I can't imagine that to be the case: why would I be denied content for simply wanting to purchase a physical version of the game?

Thank you in advance,

Zumester

110% dude....I called Gamestop and told them to 'push' for those 2 (Gold n Ultimate) physical discs.

I pre-ordered the standard version disc for my PS5.....and will wait and see if the other 2 editions pop up with physical discs...then cancel and pre order those. 

If I have to miss out on a couple of minor things so I can have a disc, no problem. This game, as of now, seems to be bad-a@@ enough,  that I won't be missing out on the few perks with the gold n Ultimate. 🍺

I wonder if anyone else is as concerned with this... even reaching out to EA tech support has yielded nothing in terms of information or results.

Does having a disk reduce time necessary to download the game? If so, that’s an even bigger incentive to get the physical version.

Do the perks of the Gold and Ultimate editions still become purchasable at a later date? For example, if I bought standard and bought the perks of ultimate (mainly the battle pass), would I still be paying roughly the same amount?

Normally brick and mortar shops like Gamestop will just sell standard editions of the game -- If they do end up allowing you to pre-order Gold or Ultimate you'd actually just be buying Standard and getting some sort of code in the box/via email/on your receipt for you to punch in on your platform of choice.

While that's a viable option, I highly recommend just sticking with Standard and buying any upgrades directly from the online store -- EA doesn't have the smoothest track record when it comes to extra goodie entitlements...
