OK, so this is kind of a weird one.  Amazon did an exclusive collectors edition for Battlefield 1 but instead of doing different packaging for each version of the game, the just made the package for the CE then added a slot in the top with a magnetic flap to slip the game into before shipping out.  So technically, if you ordered the PS4 version it would come with the PS4 game inside of it but not sealed inside of it.  It really more or less add-on to whatever version you wanted (console / standard or deluxe).  So, my question is, is this something that's eligible to be added to the database?

I actually bought the version that didn't even come with a game essentially making my PS4 standard release that I bought earlier into the PS4 collectors edition.

Here in the UK, Godfather on PS2 could be preordered from a particular retailer and you would get a metal case to put the game in with a coffin like lining. You would get this whether you ordered the standard or special edition version of the game.

I would suggest this is a similar situation to that. In the case of Godfather it was deemed that the metal case would be extra media against both the standard and special edition variations, not a separate variation

I actually have that case. Mine came with a bunch of games when I bought a PS2 from a charity shop. Smiley

"This bundle does not include the game"
Not eligible.

The listed examples offer some interesting scenarios though.
Other CEs have had sort of the same thing but typically the outer case ends up with a slip cover to denote what system while the inner box and contents are the same cross platform barring the system specific standard release that gets slid into one of those strange little one way plastic doors.

Not a problem and that's kind of what I figured. Just thought I would ask as this was my first experience with the external slot for the game without opening the rest of the package design.
