$60 for 40 hours of content
$40 for 90 hours of content
Already, Diamond is the better deal there. Platinum's play time is only 70 hours, which is still significantly more than SWSH's base game, but pretending it was entirely DLC, with 1/3rd of the game being post game, that's still 24 hours of additional content added on to Diamond.
$40 for 24 hours
$30 for 5 hours
Anyway you slice it, it's overall a more complete experience for a better price between Diamond and Platinum as compared to SWSH+DLC
