I went to best buy just now to see if I could pick up a copy of Blazblue but turns out they don't carry it and basically everything was sold out. They still had some leftover Uncharted and Hot Shots Golf, and one copy of Wipeout and Little Deviants, but everything was gone =0 Also they didn't have any 32gb memory cards.

The amount of games sales via digital means on the psv are gonna surprise many I think :D

Only problem is I don't think SCE releases sales figures on digital licenses. If they do, that's news to me anyway.

What will be really interesting is to see how well digital licenses sell compared to retail box copies. There should be a strong corellation between the number of memory cards SCE sells and the rate at which people are buying digital licenses if there is a reliable way to track memory card sales. Seeing as how the only source is currently Sony, it seems doable. 

The only thing holding digital back is the inflated memory prices for those proprietary memory cards. That alone is the reason why I'm still buying most PSV games on chip. 

If they sell favorably, it would be pretty ironic considering that the digital sales format is what effectively killed the PSP Go after being much maligned. The lack of a UMD transfer program no doubt helped as well. That's speaking as someone who would have bought a PSP Go had they allowed license transfers to digital format from UMD.
