Defiance Game Pre-Order Version Comparison

[Captain Jack]

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...

Well, they have their digital deluxe features listed here: http://www.defiance.com/en/pre-order/pc

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...

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.
