There’s a new edition of Doom and Doom II that costs $666 and comes with all kinds of bonus items. These include a box that can actually run the FPS.

    This edition is available for Switch, PS5, Xbox > Series X/S and PC. The PC version, however, ships with a download code and not physical copies of both games. Preorders start on April 18 and end on May 18, with a release sometime after that.

    For 666$, no physical game copy for the PC ?

    I always find shitty when multiplatform deluxe limited editions are inferior on PC than on console, but here it’s even worse: Doom 2 is THE PC game.

      Most PCs don’t even have a disc drive anymore. And physical is way inferior to digital. Fuck swapping discs.

        A USB drive could easily be included.

        For that much money it should be a custom one shaped like a BFG or something!

        Some old floppy disks like the OG version would be a nice novelty, even if noone used them. EvE online did a thing like that for its 20th birthday box. They included a floppy disk with some old game data on it (I think it was part of an ARG, but I just had fun trying to read the data)

      Let’s not act like anybody on PC cares about discs anymore. Besides, there are a million ways you can play Doom at this point.

        The point was trying to make is that PC is often a second rate citizen in these collectors editions.

        My guess is that if you’re customer of these editions, you want a “beautiful” object full of goodies, and, as a collector item, you won’t open them or use it hem anyway.
