    The game itself is great, but the advertising for this limited edition version is somewhat suspect. The box says you get the full game download for the PS5 along with the PS4 game disc. I bought this thinking I would be able to download the full digital version for my PS5 and also get to use the disc version on my PS4. Unfortunately it is just the PS5 upgrade version. You need to use the PS4 disc in the PS5 in order to play on that console. If I had to do it over again, I would have purchased both the PS4 and PS5 standard versions instead.

    If you have a ps5. Don’t get unless you want to risk your voucher not working for you to get the updated ps5 version. I had troubleshooted the issue and everything and basically got a shrug. Do yourself a favor and just buy the standees ps5 addiction unless you still have the ps4

    What's the point of pre-ordering??

    The game is great and my son loves it. But what's the point of pre-ordering it 2 months in advance if it's going to show up 4 days late? Best Buy really dropped the ball on this release, but not the first time I've received stuff late from them. From now on I'll be getting my pre-orders from Gamestop or Target. They've never let me down.

    The digtal code did not work then Playstaion applied a free digtal code to my sons account that wasn't really free so we ended up paying for the game twice, and yes we have complained to Sony and PS but nothing has been done. What a way to rip off people.

    Impossible to stay on line with all the server issues. Players disappear from your inventory after you collect them. Conquest is glitch and can’t complete west affinity map. Stick to show 20

    Upgrade code to PS5 does not work and Best Buy told me I have to take it up with the developer. $100 down the drain.

    The game itself is great. However the service at the store was terrible. I pre order the game and it's not ready on the day it comes out. I went in and got the $99 version of the game but the code for all the extra features doesn't work. Last time I buy a game from them. What a waste.
