Physical version available or digital only?
Back when ME3 was announced I pre-ordered that steel-case Collectors edition for PC, got the game there in my wardrobe so I don't have to redownload everything all over again..
Will Legendary Edit...

Nowadays, even physical PC releases don't come with the game on disc, but a product code. In some geographical regions with slow internet connections and/or data caps, discs may still be included.
Seriously? I've never seen a physical copy without a disk. I guess aussie net is too slow :P

The first 'fuss' over a download code in the box I remember was Metal Gear Solid V (2015) so this is not a new thing.
Games with a single 'installer' disc give an illusion of it being a physical copy, but it mostly isn't.
Couldn't comprehend the idea of having a PC without a BD-RW drive atleast, not sure why everyone makes a machine without them these days.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, but if they made an actual game disc and used say .. dual-layer BD? that has an absolute ton of space on it? it's not an impossible feat but I could see them sweeping the idea under the carpet because everything has to have Origin now (I despise DRM in all its forms, but you have to appease some evils I guess, I miss DOS ;_;.) for their library.
Not holding my breath for a disc release outside of consoles ofcourse, but getting some kind of confirmation of a yes/no from a EA/BioWare staff member would be nice.
Also yes, Auzzie internet is slow lol. I have unlimited monthly data with my provider but the speeds dude? ugh.. lucky to break 1.8MB/s for downloading anything. So if Legendary Edition was in actual fact 120GB atleast? have to do it over a few days if not a week as I don't leave my PC running when I'm either asleep or out of the house.

A sensible idea.
Though the lack of Blu-Ray as a PC standard means game publishers won't make or sell games withe that format.
I suspect the days of physical media are very much numbered. 🤨
