XCOM: Ultimate Collection vs XCOM 2 Collection question

[Alucard †]

I'm a little confused about these two bundles.
I already have XCOM EU/EW and not interested in Chimera Squad

But i want to be sure does the "XCOM 2 Collection" has all the meaningful dlcs for XCOM 2. Or am i missing out on something by not getting the "XCOM: Ultimate Collection" ?

According to my understanding, the Reinforcement pack DLC should contain the 3 N/A DLC's, meaning the XCOM 2 Collection should contain all XCOM 2 DLC's.

Ahh nice.

Cause the XCOM2 Collection is like almost 50% cheaper than the Xcom Ultimate Collection in my region. Despite supposedly having a discount because i own EU/EW on top of the sale discount. And even when including the discounted price of Chimera Squad in the bundle, the bundle price doesn't look right.

Which further made me confused if Xcom 2 Collection actually has all the dlcs or is missing something.

The reason for this is most likely because it also lists the 3 N/A DLC's, but with an actual non discounted price tag and in return it does not list the reinforcement pack. My guess is that it's just an oversight, but it certainly makes that bundle a pretty terrible deal. But in theory you should get those 3 DLC's if you just buy the reinforcement DLC. Which then would also make the ultimate collection cheaper in case you want to buy chimera squad somewhen later.

Oh i see it now. The dlcs from the Reinforcement Pack are separate in Xcom Ultimate and not discounted while they are in bundle and discounted properly in the Xcom 2 bundle.

That's why the price is off. Yeah i'm gonna get the Xcom 2 bundle instead.

Heh curious. Now that i bought Xcom 2 Collection while already owning Xcom EU/EW the Ultiamte Bundle's pricing adjusted properly and Chimera Squad in the bundle costs less than a candy bar. I might even grab it now out of curiosity cause that's almost free.
