nah i think its more like they are testing out how mnay will take the digital download, because obviously all company want digital downloads... it will save them money on shipping, the physical product like case, disc and manufacturing, the middle man, piracy and second hand game sales... but guess how much of these savings they will pass on to us??? absolutely zero mate! and think where would the competition be??? if you wanna buy a sony exclusive where would you get it from if it was download only?? they could charge whatever they wanted!!! i urge anyone to avoid digital downloads of full retail games because if it ever happend it would be the worst thing ever for us gamers! oh but sony, ms, devs and shareholders would be well happy! mo money!... so basically (and this is good) hardly anyone boght this game and now there like sh!t quick release it on disc, i dont think it will matter tho the game is just pants!
