The listings do actually descend in price from there however, generally dropping down to above £200 in total. With Ragnarok, the only physical copies will be available in the bare-bones 'Standard Edition' (and a 'Launch Edition' that includes some free DLC).For example, if you head over to eBay UK right now, you'll see that there are numerous listings for Ragnarok's Jotnar Edition selling for well over £500. Forbidden West did come in a limited $70 to $80 'Special Edition,' though, which included a Steelbook, mini art book, and a disc-based copy of the game. February's release of Horizon Forbidden West featured a $199 Collector's Edition and a $229 'Regalla Edition' that were also full of physical bonuses but lacking in physical game discs. Leaving discs out of the priciest packages isn't a completely new move for Sony. Instead, they'll have to wait for physical receipt of their package and the 'printed voucher code' included inside, then start what could be a lengthy download, depending on their connection speed. Players who pre-order a Ragnarok Collector's Edition won't even be able to preload their digital copy of the game to play immediately on launch day. Otherwise, you're stuck with the digital download code that comes with the pricier special editions (while Sony hasn't announced pricing yet, similar Collector's Editions from Sony have run $200 and up in the past). If you want a copy of the game to put inside that case, you have to shell out an additional $60 or $70 for the physical Standard Edition of the game.

In this case, though, the PlayStation Blog specifically points out that there is 'no game disc included' with the Steelbook. The omission of a disc is especially odd given that both special editions include the kind of Steelbook display case you would usually use to store your game disc in style. But if you watched through that video, you might have noticed one conspicuous element missing: a physical copy of the game.

On Wednesday, Sony released an unboxing video highlighting all the bonuses included in the premium Collector's Edition and 'Jotnar Edition' of November's God of War Ragnarok. Enlarge / Don't be fooled by that Steelbook case-there's no physical disc to be found in this pricey bundle.
