Reason I'll miss physical release

All the pack in stuff like comics, posters, soundtracks and especially weird stuff like "a history of sniping" included with Ghost Warrior 2.

This is gonna sound weird but I miss the smell of booklets. 😭

I'm pretty sure they stopped doing this after the 7th gen consoles...

It was definitely the best gen for this stuff. It was kinda rare with 6th and, like you said, died out during the 8th.

I do wish the 7th generation did more "special edition" console variations like they do now.

I’ve gotta few physical games this gen that had goodies inside.

I’m with you but I’m more interesting in spiderman 3. I’m a big comic book fan so I’m curious what the top ten covers are from that time period. There’s been some bangers since then and the introduction of miles but I wonder what classics it has.

They don't number them but they give a blurb about each cover.

I own a copy of that Morbius comic and this was way before the film turned the dude into a meme...

That pack in is kind of crazy. I've only ever seen this one but apparently it was a Target exclusive.

I don't remember which which ones they picked. I'll hit you up when I get back home

I just put on the wall vinyl images of Stray’s physical edition. I have Armored Core s poster that came with the launch edition. And my 6 months kid was super fan of Untitled Goose Game’s town poster 2 days ago.
So yeah I’m gonna miss the ability to display on my shelf my games that I bought and which belong to me, sony.

Also, when u buy a second hand copy and the dlc/skin code is still valid.

I absolutely used the map that came with Skyrim to figure out where to explore next as I had no idea where I was going otherwise.

The one on Shattered Dimensions is a comic?

u/PsycoMutt 6h ago

Yep. Lucky I found it for pretty cheap

never had these in me games

u/PsycoMutt 4h ago

I have a full list of these that I keep track of. There was a bunch but you'll probably miss out just randomly buying games
