Endwalker Collector's Box

meanwhile, on the EU store preorders for the collectors edition & box haven't even opened yet

I don't see anything about Playstation versions of these? They just mention Windows and Mac. Before I go dropping 200$ on the pre-order and collector's box (whenever it is restocked), am I to assume because it is digital only that the PS4/5 version is compatible with these purchases?

The CE is non-platform as it has no copy of the expansion included - the expansion is digital download only now so you have to buy the expansion itself seperately. It's just the items. Which explains why the expansion is quite cheap but still.

This is what was said, but the link with the product seems to say otherwise, which is why I am confused.

The Collector's edition box says it come with the digital version of the game, but only for Windows and Mac. And when I try to buy the regular pre-order above, it also only has Windows and Mac options. This may be the way it was for Shadowbringers too, but my memory is fuzzy on what I did back then, heh. EDIT: O I see a link now to the PS Store version for the regular pre-orders, but I still don't know exactly what I am getting if I buy the collector's box thing at the bottom. Not being able to click the link since it is sold out doesn't help.

Just to be clear, this is the part that is confusing me:

AVAILABLE PRODUCTS

COLLECTOR'S EDITION
A bundle containing a copy of the Endwalker Digital Collector's Edition for Windows® and Mac players, and the physical Collector's Box.

COLLECTOR'S BOX
Comprised of a set of five items: Endwalker Special Art Box, Expertly Crafted Paladin Figure, Art Collection & Frame Set, Azem Pin, and Loporrit Mini Plush.

That seems to say that if you click that link (when you can) you will get the box AND the game itself (but only for PC), no?

Oh yes, I just read it too, it seems there is two physical CEs - a EW 'Collector's Edition' for Windows and Mac that includes a digital download edition of the game, and the 'Collector's Box' that doesn't include that and just has the items - presumedly the 'download' is a code bundled within that is redeemed on the SE Store to acquire the expansion.

Also, I noted a small detail in the product description for the 'Collector's Box':

* The Expertly Crafted Paladin Figure may be sold in regions where this product is unavailable.

So that's at least one thing that will be available through alternative means if I am unable to get this (I hope the Azem Crystal pin is also offered the same way).

Unfortunately, there is only one Collector's Box. If you attempt to purchase the Collector's Edition with the PC download, it adds two items to your cart-- the digital CE and the Collector's Box (no game included).

And then the shop removes the Box from your cart as it's sold out

Hope they do release a second (and third, etc.) wave of sales so they can meet demand, even if it means still selling it after the expansion launches (especially since the game is largely decoupled from the goodies). I also hope if they do they find a way to directly connect with players who already have subscriptions such as to avoid scalpers as much as possible.

I wish the cute small rabbit was sold as a separate item on the store, to be honest.

Yeah that was the only item, both physical and digital, that I actually wanted.
