Which Edition should you buy
If you don’t care about cosmetics and just want to play the game without spending additional money on an already expensive game, the Standard Edition is the clear winner.
If you don’t mind spending ten or twenty dollars more to get some nice cosmetics and some physical items, but don’t want to spend almost three hundred dollars on the top edition. Then you should consider the Digital or Physical Deluxe Editions.
If money isn’t a concern at all, you love having unique items and, most importantly, then the Collector’s Edition is without a doubt the one for you. That is, if you manage to find a vendor who has it in stock.
