Btw, I only paid about $40 for it off fleabay.



Ok, you twisted my arm. Got mine on order, 42.50 but free shipping. I think it is worth the extra cost for a physical edition. It also says that the backgrounds are now rendered instead of bitmaps, for those who want those original backgrounds. I am hoping for at least an extra feature or two. Digital "only" is depressing. I wish it was an option not something we are left with and just told too bad.

I grabbed that Stick it to the Man and Pure Chess just because they made disc copies. I want to support this when possible. I did not get fooled by the Tomb Raider, buy a case and get a code LOL. For those interested, they also released Terraria in physical form. If I spelled it correctly! There has been a nice output of disc based releases lately for some of these games.

BTW, the physical release has a double sided cover. The reverse side says Resident Evil for us Muricans.

FYI, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris received a really nice physical box set in Europe, which I've posted a picture of a few pages back. They also released a vanilla copy for the Asian territories for a little less than the Euro one.

How is that game? I've barely scratched the first one just the other day but I saw this online deal making Osiris 1/2 off the other day so I figured for $10 I'd snap it up and try it later. I wish more stuff of this quality of release would make it to a physical release. When I see a physical release of a really good digital game I'll pay up for it (within reason) when it's new as I could only guess how much resellers would abuse that looking at the prices of Retro City Rampage DX PS4 online.


By the way I got those PS4 Turtle Beach P12 headphones today and man they're insanely good quality. I'm picking up the smallest sounds I hadn't realized was there using it on my laptop here. The optional USB connection with the mic on/off, bass boost and independent sound volume wheel are nice touches.

I think due to departures of key staff to other companies like Suda51's Grasshopper and Platinum etc. The last couple of years seems like just rehashes of old franchises or ports. It's a real shame.

Is that version import friendly for someone who only speaks English? I don't buy digital games console, but hadn't heard that Japan was getting a physical copy.

EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed the sticker in the corner that says it has English and Japanese voices/subtitles. Very cool.

So I checked out the storage on my PS4 today after deleting a number of downloaded titles. My 500 gb hard drive is actually only 405 gb! I could see it being slightly rounded off, but nearly 20% less than advertised?

That's normal for all products sold with internal memory, unfortunately.
