Which Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance edition should you buy?

So which editions should you buy of SMT V Vengeance? (Image via Atlus)

With all of these editions, it’s hard to decide which is best for you. Honestly, it does depend on your personal preference, if you like collecting games and are a long-time SMT fan then a physical copy would be better for your collection, if you want to experience the game to its fullest, pre-order bundles are too good to miss.

I recommend the Digital Delux edition of Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance. For only $10 more, you will get three DLCs and two exclusive Subquest and if you pre-order, you will get another DLC, making the full tally, four DLCs and two Subquest. It’s the most value for money in my opinion.
