I hope they do announce or make it clear whether or not there will be a physical Ultimate Edition. I prefer physical copies because they look nicer in my shelf.

Do you mean this?: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=Halo+Wars+2+Ultimate&_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys. Or is there a different ultimate edition? Also, I completely agree with you, I love physical copies to put on my shelf, even though it does take up precious space (but its okay I have two gaming shelves lol).
This is the only thing that is preventing my preorder right now, that we dont know what the physical edition will entail. I really hope there will be an edition like the Halo 5 Collector’s Edition where it has everything the physical game has, such as steelbook case, extras and whatnot, but the game itself is digital. I want that because I like having the physical limited edition goodies, but I like the digital game for convenience’s sake, as well as I’d like the play-anywhere version. (As long as my PC can run it)
Gamestop’s page for the ultimate edition lists it as “Eligible for Pick Up At Store”.

> Now that I have that out of the way…
> Ever since Halo Wars 2 was announced, I was hoping for some sort of limited or collector’s edition. When the Ultimate Edition was announced, I looked into it and have been planning on getting it. But when I saw on the Xbox store that it was available for pre-order digitally, I started looking around for a physical option. I did not find one on that site, so I looked around at others. When the others did finally list the game, they listed vague pages without much information on anything, let alone pre-ordering.

> Is the Ultimate Edition digital only? If so, does anyone have any idea why?
> If there is going to be a physical copy, when (if not already—I could have missed it) do you think it could be announced? If so, what physical bonuses (either in all copies, or store-exclusives) would you like, if they have any?
> Could the fans cause them to make physical copies? If so, how might this happen?
