digital on PC and PS5 not sure which one I'm going to keep/cancel. I love PC but I've had enough with From PC bugs

I bought it PS5 physical cause it's what, $30 AU cheaper, but I'm considering dumping that so I can play immediately.

PS5 physical because I want my steelbook. Plus I like to own my games rather than a temporary license. Including having the right to do things like trade or resell.

Definitely digital but I'm not quite sure where yet. Leaning Series X for the New Zealand release time and the fact it would be free via Microsoft Rewards. Though if PC has DLSS and/or smoother, more stable optimized settings that would certainly be enticing. PS5 will no doubt have the most active console population for PvP/Invasions, which I love, so I haven't ruled it out either.

Good 'problem' to have, though. Hopefully Digital Foundry is able share their findings a few days before launch.

I buy physical always, unless it's a game I can game share to play co-op with my gf. This is one of those games, so $49.99 digital copy for XSX via NewEgg, $25 split between us.

PC digital. There is technically a PC physical edition, but it's a just a box with a Steam key and a few bits of tat that I'd look at once and never again.

Physical. Getting that sweet steelbook from Best Buy.

Also had some Best Buy gift cards so I got it for cheaper than I would have digitally anyways

PC, so I really have no choice but to go digital… Unless I'm trying to double dip solely to get the steel book.

whichever goes on sale first
I want to thank Newegg for pulling the xbox coupon code, so I can fight my urge to get carried away by the hype

Traded a couple games in for it so physical. Plus I like having the discs for games I love and I know I'm going to love Elden Ring.
