What happened to the Digital Deluxe?

[nobalkain]

Was looking to pick this up for the winter sale but only the basic edition is showing up in the store. Did this get removed some time ago or are they just trying to get people to spend more by removing it during the sale?

I assume they got rid of it when they renamed all the DLC packages. Season passes are increasingly under scrutiny now that companies are getting called on the carpet for implying they include all of a game's DLC.

I'm trying to puzzle out what the best way to buy the DLCs is, and which I should skip, and they do not do a good job of making it clear which are in which.

[nobalkain]

Thing is the Digital Deluxe Edition is still in the game description, but its just not in the store. If it was removed a while ago then so be it, though they should take it out of the game info, but if its just during the sale then its pretty slimy of them and I wont be getting the game. If anyone can shed some light that would be great.

Anno 2205 and Frontiers was the example I was thinking of.

They've also renamed the Season Pass (included in the DDE) to the Super Pass, which covers the four Super DLCs but not the four Extra DLCs (now in the Extra Pass).

So was this done a while ago or just before the sale?

The Season Pass got renamed as the Super Pass, 4 DLCs from Dragon Ball Super. This one includes the U6 Vs U7 arc and the Goku Black/ Future Trunks arc.
The Extra Pass is the bundle that includes the last 4 DLCs in an all-for-one purchase. A kind of new story mode, more characters (ie. Son Goku Ultra-Instinct, Jiren, Gogeta Blue, etc).
Read their descriptions on the store, it s pretty clear I think.

So if you want EVERYTHING you have to buy:
Xenoverse 2 + The Super Pass + The Extra Pass

Sorry if I am not making myself clear, but I am wanting to know if this change was from a while back or done just for the sale so new buyers have to spend more to get what was once the Digital Edition. Hope this make my question clearer. Thanks in advance.

just buy the base game ( if you dont have it ) + super pass + extra pass.. and that's all .
despite the music ...

Does the super pass have anything else apart from buying the 4 super dlcs one by one? because it's actually more pricy than buying them separately for some reason...?

[nobalkain]

From what I can tell just gives you Super Packs 1-4. It does save you $1 buy getting the pack versus individually :P

Buying deluxe with all dlcs costed me (at previous sale) 521 UAH which roughly translates into 19$
Buying now at current sale without deluxe bundle costs me 726 UAH for all dlcs. which roughly translates into 26,48$
Note: by dlcs i mean some actual content, not that slice and chop music pack crap.

I think the answer is very obvious as of to why they removed deluxe bundle.

Just found this today aswell, was planning on rebuying the game with the deluxe edition on ps4 with a friend but nah, these people think it was a nice idea to remove the deluxe edition and ask new players to pay even more.

They are literally trying to scam the community with this move, the deluxe edition was already cheaper than buying base game + season pass (which is now called super pass), it was even more cheaper when in a sale. Now you have to buy base game and essentially 2 passes with content. And to top it all of, the sales on consoles are simply just too awfull for these kind of games. The base game costs 20€ right now on a ps4 sale, non of the dlc content in on sale which is stupid, to get the full experience on ps4 i would have to spend 20€ + 25€ (super pass) + 30€ (extra pass) + 5€ (pre-order bonus), the total value would be 80€, which is equivalent to the launch price of the deluxe edition. On xbox one the value would be 75€ because the base game is 15€.

That's all fine and dandy, but right now dragonball xenoverse 2 is on sale in most regions, if not all of them that have access to the game in ps4, xone and pc, and for some reason the countries in EU are being given the middle finger on the dlc sales in the ps/xone stores.

I've already been digging through databases and the current occuring sales in both ps4 and xone, the americas have sales on both game and dlcs while EU only has the base game. On xbox one, both americas and the EU only have a discount on the base game. On steam, the discount applies to base game and dlcs within the region of EU, idk about other regions as i didn't bother much with the pc side.

I see no reason for them to be limiting dlc sales for ps4 americas. The deluxe edition move they just pulled is more than clear what are the intentions behind it, but these promotions.... are just awfull and not carefully planned. You can even go to steam and compare the prices of the last 4 extra packs to the complete extra pack, you will be saving more money buying the packs 1 by 1 rather than buying the complete pack because the first 2 dlcs are 50% off while the complete pack is still at base price.

DBX2 Deluxe was under 29€ at the end of November in ps4, right now it doesn't exist. The base game is 20€ while the season pass ("super pass") is 25€ in base price and most likely 12.5€ when with a discount according to previous sales.

To me this all looks like a major d*ck move from the publisher, it's christmas ffs, it should be the moment of the year were game sales peak because of discounts, along with black friday. With this attitude of theirs they just lost 2 potential sales.

Zeus thank you very much for answering my question. I had already decided to pass on this one due to being able to find plenty of games during the Winter Sale that give you a Game+DLC for a great dicount right now, but still thank you for your help in this matter.

I have to say this was a really scummy move and cost them my buisness.

Same, I was waiting till the Winter Sale to pick this up, but this is unacceptible. Flippin' Bamco. Just had to leave the Deluxe edition as it was and I would have gladly picked it up. Oh well, lesson learned.
