I think the case had the same added year in small print. |

Everything else is exactly the same... I think they had to do this as Sony came up with some rule that all games advertised have to be on disc so for Activision to keep selling it, they had to do a new print run. --- End quote --- Wait, so you're telling me they could have fit them on the disc the whole time? That frustrates me just as much as companies cheaping out on lower storage Switch carts for games. |

They all want everything digital to kill the resale market so as to have seemingly endless sales. |

I got rid of the Spyro trilogy as soon as I found out. I’ll wait until these games plummit inevitably in price, and then buy them. We can all talk about how awful of a practice this is, but likely in the future, it won’t be too difficult to install “updates” even after Nintendo services are down for Switch. Although impossible to install digital ware, probably someone will find a way to copy pasta updates. --- End quote --- The Spyro trilogy actually got a second printing on PS4 that has all the games on disc... unfortunately the only way to tell them apart is the year stamp on the actual disc.

The original print run had no inserts of any kind. The easiest way to tell would be to hold the case up to the light and look through the clear plastic. But the good thing is, by now any retailers that still have it in stock more than likely have the second printing. |

This was comparing the size of the full digital version at launch and currently. |
