    Which edition of MLB 16 The Show will you be buying?

    The title says it all, out of the three different editions of MLB 16 The Show available, which one will you be picking up?

    I have been on a bunch of different sites looking up the different pre-order incentives offered for The Show and comparing the different editions, just to weigh my options a bit and get the most bang for my buck. Seeing I am planning on diving deeper into Diamond Dynasty this year and will want the best possible equipment cards for my Rtts Player, additional card packs mean a lot to me now, more than ever.

    Gamestop is including 15 standard packs with every pre-order, regardless of if its the standard or MVP edition. While Amazon is offering 10 standard card packs along with a "highlight player" rookie card for every pre-order as well. If you plan on picking up the game digitally, Sony went light on their pre-order incentives, sadly and are only offering avatars, which I really have no need for.

    But regardless of that, I think I am still going to go the digital route, as I did last year. I am enjoying the convenience of digital games more and more, seeing I tend to jump in and out of different games a lot. I plan on picking up the Digital Deluxe Edition and will be pre-ordering it very soon. 11,000 stubs, 20 Standard packs, 1 Sponsor pack and 3 Opening Day packs pretty much adds up to its retail value.

      Steelbox, like last year when I didn't want a Puig cover, this year I sure don't want a cover with a former auburn tiger on it. RTR!

        I thought the only retailer with a different preorder bonus was GameStop with 5 packs. The other retailers get the normal preorder bonus. I'll likely get the MVP from bestbuy with GCU and reward points. Plus you can pick it up at 10 am if you want.

        http://theshow.com/ seems to indicate all preorders get 10 extra packs and GameStop gets an extra 5 on top.

        This applies to all preorders including digital from Sony. So the only two unique versions are GameStop with 5 extra packs and PSN with the digital deluxe.

              Pretty sure there was already a thread for this.

                Whatever the cheapest one is called. There's nothing in the other versions that is even remotely interesting to me.

                    Standard, most likely digital. I play DD but not enough to want to spend all the extra $$ on it.

                      Playstation digital standard edition. Currently using that Donaldson avatar on PSN.

                      I'm trying to avoid physical copies of any games and I didn't really feel that I needed the extra items in the digital deluxe edition. The choice for me was obvious.

                      I am so excited for this year's game. Gonna be solid.

                        Well, its good to see that I'm not the only one taking the plunge and picking up the Digital Deluxe Edition. haha

                        I went back a few days looking for a thread like this before I decided to post it. I couldn't seem to find one and nothing popped up on the suggested threads when I made the title. If there is an existing thread and I missed it, I apologize.

                        I really like Donaldson on the cover and the steel book looks awesome. Having a Blue Jay on the cover just works really well with the blue PS4 boxes.

                        But, I'm like you, since I went to PS4, I have avoided physical copies and have gone totally digital. Its really made things more convenient and streamlined my whole Playstation experience.

                          Only mentioned it because I swear I remember seeing this conversation before. Haha.

                          I am going with the steelbook MVP edition.

                            Regular Edition.

                            I don't play DD or actually anything other than Franchise Mode.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(
