    @katttruewalker - Lucky Americans! Best Buy are doing a sweet Sea Of Thieves Gold Coin. Wish I could grab that but going digital for this one!

    I'm American but might be going the digital route, as well.

    As much as I like physical copy and goodies (damn my materialism), I went digital for Sea of Thieves so I could get the 'play anywhere' functionality of having both xbox and win 10 versions.

    Arrrg! Is this 20% deal just for US and UK? No deal on the german amazon site so far. #Whispering tears...#

    Also: on the UK website it's listed for Xbox one £39.89 (Does it mean the code you get is just for xbox one? What about play anywhere?)

    Dunno where to steer from here...

    ...So Confusing...

    Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, I don't think the Amazon Prime discount is legit. Just logged in with mine and the only price I get is $60. :/ oh well
    My total price is $64 dollars at checkout.

    @cptnspackjarrow If it's digital you will be able to use Play-Anywhere with no doubt.
    If it's material it means it's just for Xbox cause those CDs still don't work with Windows -.-
    But at this point that goes for all games. If it has Play-Anywhere it works only on the digital edition, CDs are bound to the system they are sold for.

    @sappyelephante it worked for me... Perhaps you don't have a prime membership? All pre-ordered items get a discount for prime members.

    @assassinsking98 I have prime. But yeah, $64 at checkout. Did you need to apply a promo code or something? Glad you got the discount.
    edit: if I click on the link to buy it after I have already logged in I see a discounted price but it is for the disc version only.

    double edit: in the promotion details it states
    "5.   Offer does not apply to digital content."
    So I guess that explains that. lol Too bad, I really want the play anywhere ability. No discount for me.

    @sappyelephante yeah I forgot to mention I got the physical copy, it really makes no difference to me since I only play on Xbox. Glad you were able to at least find the reason why you weren't getting a discount.

  • MaloBane

    Got the physical Best Buy copy along with the controller. My wallet will cry but I will not lol

    I was considering going the Best Buy route for the collectible coin, but then I saw the Amazon Prime discount and pre-ordered it there.

    I guess money speaks louder than coins. Wait . . . what?

  • POExTAYxTOES

    @sappyelephante The Prime discount is for physical copies only...and I don't think it shows up until you start to process the order

    in France, Amazon sell the pc version for 59.99€ but it is specified: this article will be published on March 30, 2018.

  • FlaredBeet28680

    I live in Denmark.

    • I wan't to play on pc
    • I wan't to download the game instantly - so I can participate in the closed beta right away
    • I wan't to avoid the "too early error" - and therefor I won't preorder from MS Store
    • Preorder bonuses are not really important for me. I just want the game now.

    Where should I preorder from?
