Bargain Roundup: Borderlands Legendary Collection and BioShock Collection
Just like the collection themselves, we’ve decided to put these games all into one. If you’re wondering where XCOM 2 is, we’re not getting a physical release of that in Australia so if you want – you’ll be paying the price off the eShop.
Prices haven’t changed in the weeks since we first posted this, OzGameShop has the cheapest prices, with Amazon matching. There’s not much movement elsewhere and we’re still not sure how much they’ll be separate still on the eShop yet.
Borderlands Legendary Collection and BioShock Collection are out May 29th.

I see that ozgameshop has a statement about being a download code but I can’t find any information about this anywhere else. I don’t think this is correct, there is only extra data to download to each games no codes to lock the games to the user.
If the games are available separately in the eShop, then it is likely that they will be supplied as a download code.
I’m not sure how Bioshock and XCOM are being handled, but the Borderlands games will be available separately in the eShop, and the retail packaging also discloses that it includes a download code for the latter games (it says “code” in the singular, but it may include two codes). In situations like these, even if I were to entertain buying these scummy partial cartridge releases, I would prefer the games not to be locked to a single NNID/console as the “update” data can be backed up to other consoles or storage devices.
The physical game contains an 16GB cartridge including the opening acts of BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, and BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition. Later game contents and add-ons will need to be downloaded.
