Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a great example of software that suffered because it was only a digital release. Back on PlayStation 3, the title was pulled from sale after the licenses expired, meaning you couldn’t buy it for several years. The good news is that it will be back on PS4 in a few days, but if you want to make sure you always have access, Limited Run has a number of options for you.
While you can of course get the game digitally from the PS Store, the aforementioned company has made not one, not two, but three physical editions of the fan favorite.
The standard edition comes with exclusive reversible artwork – one side is a beautiful Sonic Adventure-esque illustration of Scott Pilgrim artist Bryan Lee O’Malley himself. It also includes a concert ticket to Clash at Demonhead and a full-color instruction booklet (remember?). It retails for $ 34.99.
The following is the classic edition. It includes everything in the standard version, plus a Mega Drive style game case (also with reversible artwork), a set of stickers, physical CD soundtrack, and an overworld map. This edition costs $ 54.99.
Finally we have the KO edition. This ultimate version of the game offers you everything from the Classic Edition, plus a hard case for roadies “with working lights and sound”, a hardcover guide, the soundtrack on CD and cassette, wooden drumsticks, a trio of Sex Bob-omb guitar picks, an enamel pin and trading cards. It’s clearly the most expensive of the lot, at $ 139.99.
All three editions will be pre-ordered in a week, on January 15, 2021 at 10am EST (7am PST or 3pm GMT). You have six weeks to secure your purchase.
There you go then. Grab one of these and you don’t have to worry about digital shenanigans. Are you ordering a physical version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game? Level up in the comments below.
