SO for Xbox the only big loss is really the Steam Tier rewards, the standard pre-order was like any other retailer, some have added bits or other items beyond what's stated on the site too. This means with Tier 3 unlocked Steam purchasers will get 2x Unique Vehicles (blue truck, green quad), a unique Title, total +10 inventory slots, 10 days XP boost, a copy of Rift, a lock box, and a discount on the season pass for as little as $60.
The Ultimate Edition is $150 and comes with a unique title AND all previous titles from other editions (standard 'Iron Demon', collector 'Badlands Drifter'), +5 inventory slots, 7 days XP AND 7 days Scrip boosts, Hydra Rocket Launcher, VBI Infiltrator outfit, 2x lock box (1 from UE + 1 from Season pass), 1200 bits (buy the bloody cars and slots if you want them!), Season Pass with the exclusive head gear (and that lock box). That is just the in-game content that is not all the physical stuff that comes with the UE as well...
So do I think we got robbed if we paid for UE on Xbox? Not one bit.
Do I think that a Steam purchase tosses all other PC retailers out the window? You betcha! However if a PC user wanted the physical goodies they have a tough call to make as they have to choose between that and the Steam purchase, which while potentially cheaper if you add DLC down the road without a pass will end up costing you $50 total (if you buy it all) so your out of pocket is still $110 and you get none of the physical goodies.
