The physical release for this one is wild. Not only is it $110CDN ($20 more than any other AAA release), but the Xbox version doesn't even have the full game on the disc.

Now, to be fair, for that $110 you DO get the full game, the DLC, and a digital voucher for Alan Wake Remastered. Which, I mean... Not the worst value prospect. I'll pay it. But I really hate this ugly trend Pokemon has started where you buy the full game, and then buy the full game plus the DLC with no bundle discount a year after release. Baldur's Gate 3 did it, and now Alan Wake 2.
But declining to put the Xbox version on the disc is a fucking joke, and likely comes down to Remedy or their publisher cheaping out and not wanting to spend the extra couple bucks for a second disc... Which is absolutely bonkers, since they're already charging a premium price.
I dunno man, this whole odyssey is really tarnishing my opinion of Remedy. Like I'm glad it's finally getting a physical release, and I'm glad the PS5 version is at least complete, but come on.
