    Deluxe editions suck! Nowadays each time you want to buy a game, you have to go out of your way to check if a deluxe edition exists and get that instead, which is a hassle because typing in the name of a game brings up ALL THE FUCKING DLC in addition to the game itself and the deluxe edition, which is sometimes way down the list for some god forsaken reason. What's hilarious is that this is true on dekudeals.com as well, not just the PS4 and Playstation Store.

    Even if you buy the deluxe edition though, it gives you a choice whether to download the DLC or not. Oh for the love of..
    I don't know, dude! I like it better at least when there are two downloads: the game itself, and exactly one piece of DLC titled "deluxe edition content/upgrade". Thank you!! When there are any more choices than that, and I no idea what it is. then I feel stonewalled.

    And once downloaded onto your PS4 it's hard to tell whether you have the DLC installed as well unless you somehow happen to remember whether you checked off the DLC choices. Definitely a bad thing if you have limited hard drive space and happen to redownload games often.

    Honestly I'm considering just ignoring DLC content altogether. (barring obvious exceptions like fighting games) I don't want to pay to make the game easier, only better. But it's often unclear which of those things a piece of DLC actually accomplishes.

    Plus, when you start a game nowadays instead of just going to the title and hitting start (clean!) you're instead bombarded with notification after notification of all the DLC you have, as if I'm going to remember all that. Just shut the fuck up and let me experience the game already. *letmeinmeme.gif* Assuming there is a game to speak of at this point as opposed to every game merely a vessel for a patchwork of content that a given user can elect to buy in whatever combination.

      Editing … It's the prices that put me off. Very, very, very few games are worth the price of a deluxe version on PS store.

      Editing … I own seven deluxe versions and all of them were under 18 dollars, two of them being under eight bucks. So I don't really have issue with the price. The most I paid for a deluxe version was Project Cars 3 which was 28.49. I agree with you however when it's a new release and the deluxe version is like ninety bucks. Ew. Maybe if the game was like, really good. But imagine someone actually paying 90 for, let's say, Final Fantasy Origin. x-P

      Editing … I just had a look, Gran Turismo 7 Deluxe £89.99. Absolutely no way on earth I am paying that for a vidya game. £20 used or old sounds fair to me.

      Editing … speaking of which, I still find it hard to believe GT7 is on both PS4 and PS5. At least, it's the first time this has happened for a GT game.

      Editing … oh and guess what. Grid Legends has both a regular and deluxe edition too. Somehow I failed to notice until now. Both are on sale. I don't know which one to get. Deluxe includes the 'mechanic pass'. I have no idea what that is. Welp, looks like this game can go eff off as well. I'll stick to Need for Speed and Project Cars for now.

      Editing … I wonder if I should get GT7 on PS4. I'd be getting it mainly so I'd be caught up with the series.(assuming I get GT Sport as well which is only 20 bucks) Kinda weird to shell out $$$ just for that reason but maybe it's worth it. Oh.. I should get GT Sport first, then decide.

      Editing … Don't get GT sport. It's kind of ok but not good. GT7 has much more stuff in it
