Good God, Crimson Desert’s PS5 Collector’s Edition Costs a Whopping $280

Look, we know Crimson Desert is set to be a ridiculously ambitious open world outing, but would you pay $280 / €280 / £250 for a Collector’s Edition of the game?

Because that’s how much the premium package is going to cost, assuming the pricing strategy isn’t changed ahead of its 19th March release date.

Here’s what you actually get in the Collector’s Edition (and yes, it does include the actual game, which is always a bonus these days):

• Full Game (Crimson Desert)

• Exclusive 17” Diorama featuring Kliff in battle against the Golden Star

• Collector’s Edition Limited SteelBook®

• Fabric Map of Pywel

• Letter from the Developer

• Greymane Brooch Pin

• 3 Character Photo Cards

• 3 Patches

In-Game Bonus Content:

Ultimate Pack:

• Tormented Soul Bow

• Derictus Spear

• Sielos Longsword

• Shroud Lantern

• Hyperion Horse Tack Set

Deluxe Pack:

• Balgran Shield

• Exclaire Horse Tack Set

• Kairos Plate Set

Pre-order Bonus: Khaled Shield

PlayStation®5 Exclusive Bonus: Grotevant Plate Set

Granted, that’s a fairly hefty diorama, but we’re thinking it has to be seriously high quality to justify such a eye-watering price tag.

If you’re not quite ready to spend that much money on the Collector’s Edition but do want some extras thrown into the deal, the Deluxe Edition comes with everything but the statue and the contents of the ‘Ultimate Pack’ for $90 / €90 / £80.

Meanwhile, the standard edition will be priced at your typical $70 / €70 / £55.
