    Defiance Game Pre-Order Version Comparison
    I'm sure I've missed it somehow, but I can only find "bit's and pieces" of comparisons of the different versions of the game.

    Has anyone found a chart that shows what each version offers as compared to it's counterpart?

    For example, in specific I'd like to know which version will suit me better for the PC, the Collectors Edition for $99 or the Digital Deluxe version for $99?

    But I would have liked to see a side by side for the whole gammut of releases for each platform.

    I started making a spreadsheet up, but it just looks atrocious, I figured maybe somebody a little more creative than myself may have already done something like this (I hope).

    If not, I guess I'll finish digging and complete mine, but I know I'm running out of time to pre-order, sooo...

    I found this comparison as well:

    That's handy. I'd love to see that same page showing the digital editions tab (seems to be the physical edition selected on the top left).

    Indeed! I think they're supposed to have one on the official site but it's broken. When I click the buttons nothing happens.

    The Deluxe Digital gets the following:

    Collector's Outfit - Ark Infiltrator
    “Hydra” Rocket Launcher
    Rare VBI Sentinel Shield
    "+5" Inventory Space
    30-Day XP Boost
    30-Day Scrip Boost
    Unique Vehicle Color
    In-game title: Badlands Drifter

    The Collector's Edition is only available as a Physical edition. So for digital there is just Standard and Deluxe, everything else is a physical purchase.

    Thanks for that pic Cansada.

    I started making one similar to that, then I changed it to a spreadsheet that showed each same item on the same line. Unfortunately I just don't have a lot of time at the moment so it's kinda unfinished.
    I think I'm leaning towards the Digital Deluxe version at the moment, for the simple reason I just don't have any room in my office for more "decorative" items :(

    Though I'm a little irked that GameStop is the only one with the Ultimate Collectors edition, I really don't care for GameStop and never buy from them, besides, I already have the funds in my Amazon account, so that's where I'm getting it from.

    I liked it back in the "old days" when there was maybe one or two versions of a game, or one and a GOTY version, it was so much easier deciding which to get;
    or maybe I'm just getting old O.o

    I know I'll need to decide by this weekend, though I'm not worried about getting into the beta, already got that covered, but I don't want to hesitate and miss out on the digital swag ;P


    Regardless, I need to make up my mind...

    Official Blog Post regarding different versions
    Well, I came across the official blog post about the different versions, so I'll quote it here:

    Preorder Information and Answers

    Posted on: 02.01.2013

    We’ve had a lot of questions about our different editions and we want to lay out the information for you again. Listed below are all of our preorder options and accompanying images for each bundle.



    We have also started a Preorder FAQ in our forums where we will take direct questions and tracking down direct answers. You can directly get to the FAQ by clicking this link and we encourage you to head to the forums and ask us questions.

    You can choose from multiple game bundles, digital and physical, starting at USD $59.99: Standard, Collectors, and a very limited number of Ultimate editions. Each package allows players to delve deeper, and more quickly, into the persistent futuristic universe where the survival of Earth relies on your skills as an Ark Hunter leveling up in massive co-op battles and fierce multiplayer combat.

    Defiance is scheduled for release in April 2013, and can be pre-ordered online and at major games retailers in North America. Information about the European preorder will be available shortly. We have not released any information regarding our European Ultimate Edition, so please stay tuned for that!

    These are our digital preorder versions: You can preorder these at www.defiance.com/preorder or at the local online retailer of your choice. If you are having trouble finding an edition at your online retailer, contact us at Community@Defiance.com or message us at @defiancegame on Twitter for more help!



    Defiance Pre-Order ($59) Bonuses Include:

    Outlander outfit helps you blend in with the locals

    Retailer Exclusive pre-order weapon that gives you a leg up out of the gate

    Beta Invitation – get in the game early!

    +5 Increased inventory space – don’t leave home without it
    30-Day scrip boost – more everything!
    30-Day XP boost – level up faster!
    Lock Box – sweet random rewards!



    In addition to digital editions, we also have physical copies of the game you can preorder. You can pick these up both in stores and online. The major difference between these editions and the digital editions is that you will get a physical box with the game and goodies inside: you can pick these up at www.defiance.com/preorder as well as at the retailer of your choice (both in-store and on their online site!) Again, if you don’t see an edition at a store of your choosing, please contact the Community Team and we’ll help you out.



    NOTE: The European collector’s edition and the ultimate edition do not include the bonus DVD. These images are of the PC version but all versions are the same! There is no monthly subscription!



    Defiance Collector’s Edition ($99) includes the Digital Deluxe items and adds the following:

    Unique Defiance Collectors Box

    I ended up buying the Deluxe Digital Edition on Amazon.
    I'll be adding the Season Pass this weekend.
    The perks of the Amazon purchase was they've also added the pre-purchase bonus of $20 Amazon Instant Video Credit for movies, or tv shows (which includes the Defiance TV series).
    So plus one to Amazon for this.

    See you all this weekend in game regardless :P

    Is this the U.S. Amazon? I'm not seeing that bonus listed anywhere, but maybe I'm blind.

    Edit: Nevermind, I see it now on the PC physical copy, but it's not on the digital order.

    I'm preordering from here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/224600/
    They offered more digital stuff. I'm sure we can at least reach tier-1 before launch.

    I ended up getting the Amazon Digital Deluxe, and now have a Steam Standard edition (got it for my daughter, she's loving the game too :P ).

    I'll likely upgrade her to deluxe if she shows long term interest in it, heck I might even get her the season pass too ;)

    Oh, and as to the debate on the Amazon extra pre-order bonus, here it is verbatim:
    Quote:

    $20 Amazon Instant Video credit plus pre-order bonuses
    Pre-order "Defiance" for PC Download and get $20 Amazon Instant Video credit good towards the TV series premiering on April 16. Pre-order any digital download version of "Defiance" and get an Amazon-Exclusive Weapon ("The Plague Bringer") plus loads of other pre-order bonus content. Customers who pre-order will receive "The Outlander Outfit", Iron Demon In-game title, a 3-day XP boost, lock box, Beta invites, and more. Please note: the final PC Beta event starts March 22 at 8am PST and ends March 24 at 9pm PST. To redeem your code and get started follow these steps: 1. Create your account or log in with an existing Trion account at https://defiance.trionworlds.com, 2. Click the APPLY CODE tab, 3. Enter your Unique PC Beta Key in the Apply New Code field and click APPLY, 4. Keep an eye on your inbox for your invite email with instructions on how to download or update the beta client. The Amazon Instant Video Credit is only valid toward the Defiance TV series, and the credit will be delivered by April 16. The exclusive weapon code will be e-mailed within two business days after your order ships.
    Which does state towards the Defiance TV series, obviously this was updated, because originally it did say "pre-purchase bonus of $20 Amazon Instant Video Credit for movies, or tv shows (which includes the Defiance TV series)"; just like I originally posted, as I had copied and pasted it here to begin with. So they changed it, which I do understand. No harm done.

    It's irrelevant really, I fully intended on using it towards the show anyway.

    Game versions, bonuses and prices
    Hi Everyone :)

    I've worked out this spreadsheet with different game versions, bonuses and prices.
    Hope you find it useful.

    Please note that it is for the PC version (but it should be indicative of consoles as well).

    This is the game version I'm going for:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Defiance-Ult.../dp/B00B4QD17I
    (Although not so interested in all the merchandise).

    And on a further note, I might also get the pre-order Digital Deluxe upgrade on Steam (upgrade only, for 19.99EUR) and thereby getting (almost) all available extra content.
    http://store.steampowered.com/app/224600/

    Mark

    Thanks for the effort, but I couldn't open it. Is it saved as a Google document? Is it Open Office? I got a message that the document needed to be rebuilt, at least that's the message I got on my work computer.
