Townfall pre-order bonus: one CRTV skin or two?

The pre-order bonus is a skin for the CRTV, the in-game pocket television. Steam’s page lists one skin; the PlayStation Store, PlayStation.Blog and an Amazon UK listing list two, and no explanation of the difference was found.

Split

Two lists, one skin apart, and nobody has said why. What would change this: a store page or a publisher post that reconciles the two lists.

Which CRTV skins each page lists as a pre-order bonus. A solid chip means the page names it; a dashed chip means it does not. Original diagram for this site.

What the CRTV is, in Steam’s wording: “a pocket television used to tune into unstable signals”. How it plays is on the CRTV page.

What the pages say, and what they do not

Said
Not said
  • No first-party source says Beach Edition is PS5-only. The Steam page leaving it out is the only hint pointing that way.
  • Only one fan site, Silent Hill Memories, labels it PlayStation 5 exclusive, and it names no source for the label. Labeled on Silent Hill Memories: editions
  • Not found: a way for Steam buyers to get Beach Edition.
  • Not found: the Epic Games Store’s bonus list. The store is covered on the PC page.

The two skins, counted

Tags in the picture below are the two skins; each shows how many of the four pages name it. It is a count of listings, not of sales or of who gets which skin.

Each tag is one pre-order skin, and its count is how many of the four pages above name it. Rusted appears on every page; Beach Edition on the three that are not the Steam page. Original diagram for this site.

The boxed Amazon UK listing carries both skins in its bonus line, and that bundle is the subject of the steelbook page.

Reading the split

The Steam page and the PlayStation pages are separate listings, so a difference between them could be a difference between stores. That is a reading, not a statement anyone made.

Skins and editions

Choosing Deluxe on Steam does not change which skins are listed: Standard and Deluxe both show Rusted. What Deluxe adds on top is on the editions page, and the boxed route is on the physical copy page.
