There's a cartridge in the case, but the cartridge only has X on it. A digital code is provided for X-2.

I'm in favor of bringing it back. Since the change, I've scrolled past it every day, thought "Wait, The Moneysaver Kotaku Deals should have been posted already," and had to scroll back up to find it. Never had that problem before.
