Physical Copy

Are there no physical copies of the game anymore? I preorder from gamestop (the only game I ever preorder from them) and when I went in today it was the steam download version, so I cancelled it. They said it should have been a physical copy and not sure why it's steam download version. Could it be that 2k does not sell physical copies anymore? And if they do where can I buy one? thanks all.

Correct.

Could it be that 2k does not sell physical copies anymore?

Also correct.

Digital only.

Damn. Well that kind of sucks. I do like having the physical copy. I understand everyone is trying to go away from physical copies, but I do like having the copies. Oh well. Guess I will just buy off steam. Thanks all for the quick replies.

Digital only I wanted the disc version... I almost gave in to the pre-order.The more I wait it out... the more reality sets in. The year was always going to be full of uncertainty with this next gen version of the game.

Hopefully we can find a way to make a breakthrough

I wanted a physical copy so that I could display it in my room.

Well i don't know about you guys, but in Australia/New Zealand they sell physical copies of the game where you can integrate it with steam after installation from the DVD!

Really? How many Discs are in the Case? You have a pic of it to upload?

I'm getting my copy tomorrow or monday, i'm assuming 1 or 2 disks inside although I don't know. I gave all the retailers in my area who were selling 2k15 for PC a ring and they all said it was a DVD inside..

I'm sceptical, as they also sold "physical copies" in the US, which turned out to be codes on cardboard. I've already bought digital and pre-loaded on Steam, but it'll be interesting if there is a DVD release. I kind of doubt we'd be the only ones to get it, though.

I called up this store https://shop.jbhifi.co.nz/game/pc-games ... 2k15/79698 and they confirmed it, also read the IBM

went to ebgames about 30mins ago to buy a physical copy and they only have the codes. this is a poor move by 2ksports imo. not everyone has the available bandwidth to download 30gb.


now i know why the pc version is $10 cheaper than xbox and ps4


i'm in australia btw

Nope.

NBA 2K15 (Digital Code in Box)

I have a feeling that you've been given wrong information, but I guess we'll soon find out.

Remembered thread like this, I thought I would share how the box looks like in my country:

Got exactly the Same thing today from Amazon.de. But everything worked fine and for 19.95€ its a great Deal. Picked Dirk as my Player, way better than the 08/09 KD
Funny how Lin is considered a "International"

One point I was thinking about in regards to a physical copy.

In order to offer a physical copy they would either have to offer 6 Dual Layer DVD's or release on Bluray.

Then you run into the issue of not everyone has a Bluray drive to handle the install. And somehow 6 discs would just be cost prohibitive.

So after reasoning it out I suppose digital was the only certain way to get it out there, but then I would imagine not everyone has broadband either. So maybe they could or did offer for select situations a hard copy option.

I was after lower price and the box for my shelf. Couldn't give a rat's ass about the disc, I don't have an optical drive for few years now.
