Standard - £27.99

This might be the cheapest the standard and deluxe versions have been on our store.

EA's star wars cash cow, More content in demo's than in the standard version. The so called "ultimate version" is what the standard version should be.
It's evolve all over again.
heat for being cheapest price.

This "content" or lack off content is what has stopped me from purchasing. I know I'll probably enjoy it, but I won't enjoy feeling ripped off either.

Yeah it was. I'd pre ordered the deluxe but then won one of those sky bet accumulators so treated myself to the ultimate. Not won a bet since, or a round on Battlefront either :smile:

such a boring game. Shame as it looks great. £15 is the price it should be.

Paid £95 for std + season pass at release but I top up my wallet with O2 credit so it was more like £35 in real money.
This is a great price (heated) but I will echo others in it being a bit shallow on content. BF4 had 10 maps in the base game - 5 maps gets tired pretty quickly.

I gotthe Standard in the end, rather enjoying it (just played for a couple of hours) not at all bad for a very casual gamer like me, I think the graphics are really excellent, best looking game I have seen on my rarely used PS4.

Princedraven, yes they are exactly the same.
Donkeykonk, no extra content has been released yet so the amount of content available is the same on all of them. The best thing to do is buy the standard edition, if you enjoy it and are still playing when the first piece of dlc is released you can buy the season pass.

For some reason people would rather **** on it rather than give it a go. Truthfully it's a good game, good graphics, fun gameplay.
People are **** at the 'lack of content' and the amount the dlc costs. There's a lot planned an some free stuff as well.
Gamers are often way too self entitled when it comes to costs and fail to note that the cost of making these games is much higher than the cost of making say sonic, and they are still being charged similar figure or in some cases much less now ( I remember select SNES games costing £60+). If you take inflation into account a £35 1990 mega drive game should now retail for £100+. Knowing that gamers would never go for this and the rise of the second hand market, a new model for revenue needed to be developed with DLC. I get it I really do and would rather pay this premium to play a complete and compelling game that everyone turn to freemium / pay to win candy crush!
In short go buy it, play it have fun and don't listen to the haters who are complaining about a base game costing the same as a night in the pub despite having the potential to last hundreds of hours longer!

Just buy the standard edition. It is as good and has as much content as the others, minus the season pass dlc you will eventually get with the £75 option.
The deluxe edition give day 1 access to 3 weapons that you will otherwise unlock by playing the game. Other than that the deluxe edition gives you two exclusive character emotes, which basically make your character perform a preset animated dance/movement that is an almost useless feature with no benefit to the game.

28 Dec 15#113
So, maybe a silly question, but can't get my Xmas fuzzy head in gear, is buying the Deluxe game £32.99 + the season pass £39.99, total of £72.98 exactly the same as buying the ultimate for £74.99?
DonkeyKonk to PrinceDraven
28 Dec 15#114
I am insane in the membrane about what's the best way to buy it too. With all due respect to Scar_HeadFace what do folk recommend to someone who actually wants to buy it ? Is both Standard and Deluxe really low on content ?

Can folk advise then whether Deluxe or Ultimate is the best one to buy ?
Ultimate seems awfully expensive, but is Deluxe a waste of time ?
Scar_HeadFaced to DonkeyKonk
28 Dec 151#110
Deluxe gives you a few weapons, one of which is a mean pistol. You unlock all of them by playing so if you don't mind waiting, it's a waste of time. I wouldn't buy it. Ultimate includes the season pass, I don't know what other extras you get though. If you're not sure how much you'll play it just get the standard version, you can always pick up the season pass later.

28 Dec 15#109
I'll be in around the £9.99 mark, which won't be long as this game is just hype and is nowhere as good as previous Battlefield games.

The Star Wars posts always make me laugh, you see countless comments along the lines of "not enough content to justify the price" from people who don't even own the game. Care to share how you know there isn't enough content when you haven't played it? I played the EA access trial and loved it so much I bought the game. There are only 4-5 worlds but each has multiple maps and the amount of game modes is crazy, I've spent 20-30 hours just playing. For someone who fell out of love with multiplayer shooters after Modern Warfare 2 this offers something fresh and new. There could be more content, hopefully there will be (and lots of free stuff to boot!) but what IS there is brilliant in my humble opinion.

For a game getting destroyed I have put 50 hours into it. Very enjoyable shooter. If I got 50 hours out of most games I'd payed £40 for I'd be more than happy. I won't give in to the leeching practice of DLC though.

i have this game - i managed to get it for just over £18 from the US store a week or so ago so didn't waste much money but i am very disappointed with it, the single-player is useless and unless you play online constantly there is no way you will be able to get good enough to compete with this who do so just end up in a spiral of spawn and die.
having said that, some may like it, but i am very disappointed with the attitude this generation of releasing half a game for a very high price and expecting people to pay even more for what should have been included in the first place - i wish for the old days when you just bought a game and that was it, you had the game, enjoy it, now it seems like buying the game is just giving you the option to then pay more to buy the actual 'game'
ysdevil to chublet
27 Dec 15#98
It was always known there was little to none single player in this game, so you have no come back there.
While I also complain that the games today are based a different pay system, you have to remember the costs of games before this. At my reckoning, we are paying about half the price for games that we should be paying.
The likes of Sonic for the SMS or Megadrive, were £40, or in the £30's if you were lucky.
We're still paying the same price for games (or less with internet shopping).
They needed to look for new ways of getting money from gamers, as too many games are now free/cheap and use other ways make up the price.
Also games really drop in price quickly, compared to how they used to.
I don't like it, but the world has moved on. Would you pay £80 for a std game? Well, you might, but most gamers wouldn't.

I've had my ps4 for 2 years now and I've been so disappointed with the crap this so called next gen is churning out .. not to say there isn't any decent games but between the definitive edition's and the destiny's oh and having to pay to play online and the fudging downloading content take an eternity some times i rather wish I'd just stuck with my ps3 ... hopefully they don't ruin uncharted 4 .. rant over :-)

Not trying to stir things up but is this really a good deal seeing that you can never sell the game on when you get bored of it,and from what I've been reading that could be sooner rather than later.
Personally I thInk all this digital download stuff is a right rip off as from what I have seen on the PlayStation store,most of the games cost more to download than they do to buy a physical copy of which has a resale value.
These companies must love it that people are willing to pay the same amount and more for a game that they don't even have to supply on a disc,no box to supply and no shipping costs.For me to buy into this digital download revolution I would want to pay at least 50% less than a physical copy.

The reality is that the DLC maps are all made and ready to go, but to maintain interest in the game and generate more money they're kept off the final product to sell in the future. An awful industry practice that is even worse here as they seemed to have put the bare minimum in to class it as more than a demo.
People are also annoyed that this version is much more dumbed down than the previous iterations in the series and that it lacks any deep gameplay.
crazygoldfish
27 Dec 151#87
That's years away...... So for 27quid your complaining that it won't be supported in 2-3 years
Bf4 is still getting content released after 2 years, long after the paid dlc revenue has dried up. ( granted it was a broken mess to start ).

I presumed they were talking about actual gameplay opposed to time had with the game. It's a bit of a feat fully completing this game having it for only 10/11 days.

Ea are releasing more content for free and paid dlc, would you rather no game for another 6 to 9 months for a few more maps?.
all the game modes and maps were published up front prior to game launch.
Any fps multiplayer based game has limited content with paid dlc, not exactly a shocker

Would be heat for best price but as has been warned (I am putting this in capitals for any prospective purchasers):
IT IS STILL A RIP OFF, VERY LITTLE CONTENT, YOU WILL BE BORED OF IT IN A WEEK, THE 'DELUXE' ADDITION IS FOR MUGS, IF THE 'ULTIMATE' ADDITION WAS £35 IT WOULD BE OK, BUT IT'S NOT, DON'T BE TEMPTED, DON'T BE A MUG OR RIPPED OFF.

Good price for deluxe version. Game pretty average though
digital goods have a 14 day refund period that starts from the day of the transaction. The only exception is if the retailer gains your EXPRESS consent that you waiver your 14 day refund right if you download or start streaming the content within that 14 day period. Sony do not have a tick box or pop up where you physically click/select an option to acknowledge this before being able to click to download or stream thof content. Apple does, steam does, but not PSN.
Just google digital goods consumer rights.

Same here. Played the beta so much thinking it'd be a little taster of the full game. Turns out it's pretty much the full retail release minus a few maps, characters and weapons! Ended up playing it for 4-5 hours and just can't be bothered any more.
Rainbow 6 came with my GPU and sold it. Ended up playing the free weekend and then buying it. Much more fun... the TK'ers and CoD run and gunners are annoying though :disappointed:

I bought it on the U.S store for £24.99 from the deal a few days back, and it's largely my first foray into online multiplayer. I've not done any "anonymous" multiplayer gaming for almost a decade as I HATE being squawked **** at by 13 year old "joypad warriors".
I like it - it's fun, novel, and engaging for a player like me. Not worth it's RRP of £54.99GBP (no game is) - but for a late night gaming session, it's bob on. Heat for the price and not having to go through the U.S registration stuff like I did...

Love this game, but I only love it online, it would be a very poor and shallow (although gorgeous) game in "no mates" single player mode.
Worst aspect of this game though is buying the cheap one and starting with weak weapons. You can be on someone and firing at them, needing 3 or 4 shots to take them out, meanwhile, they react to your first shot and with their powerful weapon they take you out with one hit.

I would have got this if that shop to ps+ £5 credit was still on but that has unfortunately expired so till next time. However, with the quick decline in price for battlefront I can see that this game is not selling what everyone had hoped and price should keep going down.

A smidgen bit miffed as was drawn in at the xmas sale price a week ago and then it drops again. Not really surprised mind you. Lost a lot of respect for PSN after getting shafted by someone hacking my account and Sony behaving like cowboys - obvious tip, do no link Paypal or credit card to PSN!!!
As for the game, I have barely played it but my kids love it. They are 6 & 4 (local play only!) and fight each other on splitscreen daily - can't get enough of it. Has probably had more hours put into it in the last week then most other games I buy!!!

Then immediately on 27th Dec price dropped to th OP prices.
Absolute rip off sales activity that is usually reserved for selling settees and beds.
The Jan sale gave the impression that upon the expiry the price would return to the usual price.

I love this game, I'm **** at it mind you, but it's still a good laugh. Got to give heat as it's the cheapest price, I rather shamefully stumped up the full whack for the ultimate version on release... :disappointed:

Hot! I was skeptical about the game and all it's shortcomings, but if you are a fan of Star Wars, then this game is alot better than it deserves to be.

Good prices, glad to see the store starting to be a little less of a rip off

Remember if you get the most expensive option, you get a really good gun to start at level one
Good job.

How much is the season pass separately? £28 (about £23 if you can get credit cheap) is good for the base, but I think you'll really need premium this time

Anyone else notice it's still cheaper to buy separate elements than the ultimate edition.

This "content" or lack off content is what has stopped me from purchasing. I know I'll probably enjoy it, but I won't enjoy feeling ripped off either.
Opening post
Standard - £27.99
Deluxe - £32.99
Ultimate - £74.99
This might be the cheapest the standard and deluxe versions have been on our store.

This is a great price (heated) but I will echo others in it being a bit shallow on content. BF4 had 10 maps in the base game - 5 maps gets tired pretty quickly.
Still, voted hot because it is a great price currently!
Donkeykonk, no extra content has been released yet so the amount of content available is the same on all of them. The best thing to do is buy the standard edition, if you enjoy it and are still playing when the first piece of dlc is released you can buy the season pass.
People are **** at the 'lack of content' and the amount the dlc costs. There's a lot planned an some free stuff as well.
Gamers are often way too self entitled when it comes to costs and fail to note that the cost of making these games is much higher than the cost of making say sonic, and they are still being charged similar figure or in some cases much less now ( I remember select SNES games costing £60+). If you take inflation into account a £35 1990 mega drive game should now retail for £100+. Knowing that gamers would never go for this and the rise of the second hand market, a new model for revenue needed to be developed with DLC. I get it I really do and would rather pay this premium to play a complete and compelling game that everyone turn to freemium / pay to win candy crush!
In short go buy it, play it have fun and don't listen to the haters who are complaining about a base game costing the same as a night in the pub despite having the potential to last hundreds of hours longer!
EA shouldn't be rewarded for selling half a game. It'd need to be cheaper for heat from me.
The deluxe edition give day 1 access to 3 weapons that you will otherwise unlock by playing the game. Other than that the deluxe edition gives you two exclusive character emotes, which basically make your character perform a preset animated dance/movement that is an almost useless feature with no benefit to the game.
Ultimate seems awfully expensive, but is Deluxe a waste of time ?
How else do you spend time on a game other than playing it? :smile:
having said that, some may like it, but i am very disappointed with the attitude this generation of releasing half a game for a very high price and expecting people to pay even more for what should have been included in the first place - i wish for the old days when you just bought a game and that was it, you had the game, enjoy it, now it seems like buying the game is just giving you the option to then pay more to buy the actual 'game'
While I also complain that the games today are based a different pay system, you have to remember the costs of games before this. At my reckoning, we are paying about half the price for games that we should be paying.
The likes of Sonic for the SMS or Megadrive, were £40, or in the £30's if you were lucky.
We're still paying the same price for games (or less with internet shopping).
They needed to look for new ways of getting money from gamers, as too many games are now free/cheap and use other ways make up the price.
Also games really drop in price quickly, compared to how they used to.
I don't like it, but the world has moved on. Would you pay £80 for a std game? Well, you might, but most gamers wouldn't.
I'm still hoping they'll release a patch to play NFS 2015 ofline.
Personally I thInk all this digital download stuff is a right rip off as from what I have seen on the PlayStation store,most of the games cost more to download than they do to buy a physical copy of which has a resale value.
These companies must love it that people are willing to pay the same amount and more for a game that they don't even have to supply on a disc,no box to supply and no shipping costs.For me to buy into this digital download revolution I would want to pay at least 50% less than a physical copy.
Turn up the burn!
People are also annoyed that this version is much more dumbed down than the previous iterations in the series and that it lacks any deep gameplay.
Bf4 is still getting content released after 2 years, long after the paid dlc revenue has dried up. ( granted it was a broken mess to start ).
all the game modes and maps were published up front prior to game launch.
Any fps multiplayer based game has limited content with paid dlc, not exactly a shocker
Deluxe? Jesus they are ripping us off.
Rant over, cheers OP!
IT IS STILL A RIP OFF, VERY LITTLE CONTENT, YOU WILL BE BORED OF IT IN A WEEK, THE 'DELUXE' ADDITION IS FOR MUGS, IF THE 'ULTIMATE' ADDITION WAS £35 IT WOULD BE OK, BUT IT'S NOT, DON'T BE TEMPTED, DON'T BE A MUG OR RIPPED OFF.
Just google digital goods consumer rights.
Also I think they well in a few months
thanks..
If you rush on multiplayer you will get rinsed, did have some guy get around the back of my team though he got spotted 2 secs after he went out then the marker above his head dissapeared, he managed to kill a few of us, the swine.
I guess the novelty wore off for me pretty quickly.
Been playing rainbow six mostly, which is better imo.
Be aware this bf is not on par with the bf's on ps2.
Rainbow 6 came with my GPU and sold it. Ended up playing the free weekend and then buying it. Much more fun... the TK'ers and CoD run and gunners are annoying though :disappointed:
Also, poor form by Sony for having it "on offer" for last 2 weeks and then reducing it further... Glad I didn't bite last week
I like it - it's fun, novel, and engaging for a player like me. Not worth it's RRP of £54.99GBP (no game is) - but for a late night gaming session, it's bob on. Heat for the price and not having to go through the U.S registration stuff like I did...
Worst aspect of this game though is buying the cheap one and starting with weak weapons. You can be on someone and firing at them, needing 3 or 4 shots to take them out, meanwhile, they react to your first shot and with their powerful weapon they take you out with one hit.
As for the game, I have barely played it but my kids love it. They are 6 & 4 (local play only!) and fight each other on splitscreen daily - can't get enough of it. Has probably had more hours put into it in the last week then most other games I buy!!!
Then immediately on 27th Dec price dropped to th OP prices.
Absolute rip off sales activity that is usually reserved for selling settees and beds.
The Jan sale gave the impression that upon the expiry the price would return to the usual price.
Who would expect a sale item to be immediately cheaper upon sale expiry?
