Will there be retail version or just a digital version ---

Too early to tell, but I presume both will exist, like previous Battlefield releases. ---

As of what I have read today, all copies will just have a Code whether you get the Box or not. ---

Mate of mine, with a internet connection bought a physical media copy of GTA5, which cost him more money and arrived 2 days after launch. He installed the game, and then directly on launch it told him there was like a 20Gb update to download before he could even play. How we laughed. My point: Physical Media is pretty much obsolete today. Retail Copies that are only activation codes are there mainly to cater for little Timmy’s Grandma, who like wrapping stuff up, because if you launch a game at the end of October, you expect it to be gifted a lot at Christmas. ---

That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Why would you buy a plastic box with no disc in it? EDIT: ProfanityFilterTooStronk Wasn’t even swearing… Another EDIT: Now it’s not even filtered. What is this madness? ---

With or without a disc, I do think some people are worried of using their credit cards on the interwebz. This is however a sign that digital products are slowly phasing out retail and physical products. A few more years and we might never see boxed copies of newer games. > [@No1StingerUserUK](#): > > EDIT: ProfanityFilterTooStronk Wasn’t even swearing… > > Another EDIT: Now it’s not even filtered.
