Thanks for putting up your titles digitally on PSN

[link6616]

I saw the hate topic and thought I'd put up some thanks here for releasing everything digitally too. It makes importing titles easier than ever, as opposed to having to wait a week or 3 to get a copy of any title, I can get one within a day usually if I am forward thinking enough to order the PSN card the day before release.

Mind you it took me a while to actually purchase Corpse party this time round... But yes, thanks!

I have Vita instead of PSP, so them having all their PSP titles on PSN is good for me. Plus going digital-only on some allows them to publish more titles (hopefully).

Fully support this mentality as well. I'd rather have the game then no game+boxed set. Besides, super hardcore Japanophiles can grab the boxed sets off PlayAsia if they're really hankering for dolls/ posters/ whatever. Really, this is an easier method of publishing niche titles without the potential risk. Will be grabbing Unchained Blades Rexx!!! (To play on Vita, I'm assuming its compatible).

I wouldn't be suprised to see TiTS follow this pattern. I imagine with 3.5 gig Vita games Sony has recanted on their previous downloadable PSP/ PSV size limits. I don't see a dual UMD game being an issue if its digital.

Keep up the digital JRPG onslaught! Love you guys and gals at XSEED.

I agree. I'll be getting all my future PSP games for Vita anyway.

I do sympathize with people who would strongly prefer physical releases, but I don't agree with the mindset of completely ignoring digital games. Better to get the game digitally rather than not at all.

Size was never the issue here, there's a very different multi-UMD related problem due to the programming and how disc swaps (there are quite a few of them) are handled.

Ah, it was a programming issue, that makes sense. I read that so long ago that it must've faded in my mind:

Squeenix did it with Type-0, but I imagine that was the old-school PSX method with all the FMV's sequentially on their respective discs and planned as such since its inception. Didn't know SC had so much disk swapping.

But this interview:

makes things sound as if that issue was resolved, as I can't imagine XSEED going boxed only and non-digital with the way the industry is trending.

The unpleasant take-away from that latter interview is that apparently the game didn't sell up to expectations. I wonder how many "fans" pirated the damn thing. Bought mine legit off PSN, but haven't had the hours to clock into it yet. Been playing Gods Eater Burst, which is a surprisingly fun take on the hunting genre.

I'm still kind of holding out for a retail release for Corpse Party, but does anyone know if it has ever gone on sale over PSN?

I agree I was holding out hoping that they may sell it on retail. But it doesn't seem like they're going to. Has anyone heard if there's a chance of it being sold at stores?

[Takao]

It has yet to go on sale on PSN.

You'll be waiting years before corpse party goes on sale.

Corpse Party is 9.99 (PSN EU) iirc. Pretty cheap if you ask me!
