I’m aware of the current options for purchasing the new core rulebooks for Europeans:
I can order three separate digital+physical bundles from the EU store and miss out on the 3-book bundle bonuses.
I can buy the 3-book digital bundle from D&D Beyond (which includes bonuses) and purchase the physical books separately, for example, from a local game store. However, this second option would cost at least 30€ more than the first.
I feel that it’s unfair that there’s no option for a 3-book physical+digital bundle with bonuses outside the US. Do you know why such an option isn’t available? Is there any chance this could be addressed before September? Should I wait and hope this will be fixed soon?
This has been changed, and your wait is already over! Though there is no 3-book physical/digital bundle available for EU customers, you will get the bonuses if you purchase all three physical/digital bundles together.

If non-US customers get the Digital Bundle, do they get the bonuses as well?

That is great but it would be useful to have that confirmed on the store items themselves in the international store, as not everyone will visit the forums to seek this information.
I still fail to understand the logic as to why there is not just a bundle created on the international store for the 3 book bundle like the one on Beyond Marketplace.
Also why there is no pre-order for DM Screen or Character sheets on the international store?
Seems an odd choice to make the experience different for everyone purchasing outside of the US

When did this change? The EU store does not confirm this (not yet, at least). This should be said in the store page.
Some days ago I asked about those bundles and then Davyd said: "I've chased this up and received confirmation; the bonuses listed on the D&D Beyond markplace (the digital art book, digital mini, and dice) are only for pre-ordering the "2024 Digital & Physical Core Rulebook Bundle", "2024 Physical Core Rulebook Bundle", or "2024 Digital Core Rulebook Bundle", and as such are not available outside the US. Other pre-order bonuses still apply though". So, at least then those bonuses were NOT available outside the US (except for 3-book digital bundle?).
Can you define 'together'? Does it mean that all three books must be in the same order? Or is it enough that I order all three separately in three orders at same day? This difference is important, because EU store says (in FAQ): "If you place multiple orders with different release dates, then your order will deliver when the last item is available." That means that if I put all three in the same order, I will get the physical books in February 2025. Three separate orders would be delivered when each book is released (September, November and February).

I've been told that the changes to the product copy have been submitted, but may take some time to update. This was two days ago, however, so those changes might already be in effect. It's true, regardless.
(1) This is a recent change, and you will soon see language further confirming this coming from us.
(2) Correct. They were not available then, and are available now.
(3) When I say 'together', I mean you must buy all three at the same time as if you were buying that 6-book digital/physical bundle that exists in the D&D Beyond marketplace.
(4) The language I've bolded in your comment exists primarily to refer to purchases that contain already released books and preorders in them, and existed before the 2024 Core Rulebooks were added to the store. If you ordered Tales from the Yawning Portal with your 2024 Player's Handbook, for example, you wouldn't get both books until the PHB ships. That's what that means.
As far as shipping goes, the 2024 Core Rulebooks will be shipping so that you get them as close to their release dates as possible. If you buy all three, they will ship in Septermber, November, and February, respectively.
Does that help? :)

Are the non-US purchasers getting the bonuses like digital dice, frames and the VTT mini? Only they're not listed on the UK store and almost a week after preordering I don't have any of them available. I spoke to customer service at the time I preordered and just got a "we're working on it" reply
EDIT: Never mind, literally five minutes after I posted this I got an email saying they were now unlocked on my account

Wanna make sure you're clear on this, though: the bonuses you just got are for preordering the PHB. You are still getting the additional dice, gold dragon mini, and artbook that everyone who preorders ALL THREE BOOKS gets, but those are coming at a later date.
You'll get additional bonuses for the DMG and MM too. :)

Yes, it does, thank you. This answer clears all the confusion there was. I have now ordered all three books.

Excellent, always love a bonus (although still in tow minds about whether I’m getting the bundles or just digital for the DMG and MM)

Hi, not to sound like a broken record, but-
Just for clarification, if I preorder ALL THREEdigitalBOOKS, do I get all bonuses? Or will there be stuff that I don't get? It's sad, but I can't cough up enough for Phy+Digi Core Bundle being outside the US, and I'm not in the EU either. But I might just have enough for Digital Core Bundle
Because the way it's worded from here, the bonuses are only for: >When you preorder Digital 2024 Player's Handbook or >When you preorder the Digital &Physical Core Rulebook Bundle
Also from here , Digital &Physical Core Rulebook Bundle is required for: Artbook / Gold Dice / Digital Mini If these are exclusive to the biggest bundle, I don't really mind. I know the posts were probably worded to suggest, but the vagueness is off putting for my end.
When looking at it a bit more... I don't understand, at all, why the bundle isn't available to the non-US customers. Will the digital art book be included as well? Sure, one can order each book separately, but why?
There was a button on the frontpage of the non-US shop that said preorder all core books. When I clicked it, it put all 3 physical books and all 3 digital books in my cart and ended up the same price as if I bought the bundle on the US shop. Ive gotten the PHB24 preorder bonuses already so I think the bundle just looks and works differently in the non-US shop but it still works the same way.

Does this change also apply to the store for the rest of the world? Also is there an issue with pre-ordering them at the same time? I have attempted to purchase the pre-order several times and have received an error when I try to place my order.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see that button.
I looked at the non-US store again and the button is gone. I tried putting the preorder of physical+digital of all 3 books in my shopping cart and it came out the same total as if I used the button that added all 3 bundles for you. So my guess is you can still get all the preorder bonuses tied to each book and the same price, you just get to pick and choose out of the bundle.

Do you NEED to buy all three at the same time, or will you receive it if you preorder all three before a certain period?
I purchased the PHB already and decided to wait on the other two for financial reasons. Do I need to ask for a refund for my PHB purchase?
Thats amazing news!
That is great but it would be useful to have that confirmed on the store items themselves in the international store, as not everyone will visit the forums to seek this information.
