It is official GAMESTOP has cancelled all physical copies of both games. What pisses me off is they didnt tell us I had to find out myself. Gamestop appologized and gave me a $50 giftcard and full game refunds.

sorry just got off the phone with GAMESTOP corporate office. They said it is the fault of the developer. I told them it really sucks that they did not even inform the employees. I contacted EA games and they said it is not them.

If you want to verify my info please feel free to call GAMESTOP. Ask them to pull it up.

Also you will notice all physical copies of the game have been removed from [Gamestop.com](http://Gamestop.com)

sorry this is for PC.

Do not take my word for it. Call your local GAMESTOP and ask them to look it up. Or go to [Gamestop.com](http://Gamestop.com) and look it up. You will see they only will be selling the digital copy.

Also go to this very site [battlefield.com](http://battlefield.com). Under preorders you will see it also has been removed there.

Who cares? The physical copy of BF1 is probably just an empty box with a CD Key in it so you can download the game from origin.

Well that has been known for a while… all “physical” copies since BF3 have been boxes with an origin code inside. There have been actual disk copies, but those are few and far between, and only part of the game is on it, the rest gets downloaded

Im old school. I like having the disc. When you dl it from ORigin it is even stated you do not own the game so they COULD cancel it on you. With a physical copy they can not. I have had the physical copy of all the BF games back to 1942. I go ttthe discs and like that. OH well.

I do admit I never have done digital copies and do not know anything about it. I just do not feel secure.

I tend to be old school as well. About many things in life. But we’re forced to adapt here. There isn’t a way to get it on disc. Those days are over. Time to take of our rose colored glasses and accept things for the way they are now ☹

I asled one of my younger (22y I think) coworkers where the cd aisle went at best buy and I almost got laughed out of the office.

First of all, a physical copy does NOT supercede TOS. They can still cancel the game / servers on you at any time even with a physical copy. Second, digital is safer than physical (can’t really be stolen, if so, easy to get back), doesn’t force you to line up for hours to purchase the game, costs the company less money, and has less of an impact on the environment.

If you actually think physical copies are better than digital, your mind is in the dark ages. Wake up

I’m confused, I pre-ordered the physical disc, early enlister deluxe for PS4 do I need to contact Gamestop or something? Can I still get the physical copy from Gamestop for PS4 as normal, or do I have to get it somewhere else?
