Just import a physical copy from the US?I won't buy it day 1 now, or ever.
I don't understand the hoo-hah. I have around 20 Vita/PSP games and not one of them is a physical copy.
It has an online pass and DLC.Just import a physical copy from the US?

Well, to me (a collector), it's more about having something to show for it. I'll try to make sense out of that sentence. It's like, when you have a physical copy of a game, you can say: I have the original, and you can actually show it off. This is not the case when you have a digital copy, because (on a hacked system, obviously) there is no difference between a genuine or a pirated copy. At least, not on the end user side of things.I don't understand the hoo-hah. I have around 20 Vita/PSP games and not one of them is a physical copy.
I totally get that. Earlier in the year I bought my first CD since I got access to broadband connection. I already had an 'unauthorised' flac copy of the album but I like it so much I wanted to have the physical thing in my possession. What I don't get is people refusing to buy/play the game, even if it's a game they are really interested in playing, just because the media isn't distributed in their preferred fashion.Well, to me (a collector), it's more about having something to show for it.

It's similar to emulation, it's far more convenient to use an emulator (well, in most cases), but it's fun to actually be able to show of the real thing.
I hope this makes sense (because I'm not sure it does ).

Partly this, but, for me, there is also the thought that you can play it when the platform is hacked (which is an inevitability, regardless of the platform) and still have the same to show for it as a digital download. Granted this takes more patience, but there are other games to play in the mean time.Voting with their wallet. Don't like the way it's being done, don't support it. Buying it just sends, well we don't like it, but we will just moan for a while and buy anyway.
Of course, the company could take it as, "no interest", rather than "no interest in digital", but that's the risk people take.
Its kinda odd how so many are turned off by digital downloads only. Steam has no physical story or copies of stuff. Actually, I havent bought a single physical game for my Vita either...
