This is why Vita is failing, £35 for a digital only release...

Sony should sort this shit out, message to publishers should be resonable prices or fuck off. Vita deserves to die with crap like this.

$40 for physical copy in US, even removing VAT from UK price it works out $47, and we only have digital...


no stupid statements like this needs to die. I mean wtf. Think it's too expensive? don't buy it and stop whining about every damn thing already. It will go down in price in time and if it hits the price you like then buy it. Sony can't force publishers to do w/e they want to do. There will be some who would love to have this game even at this price


First, yes Sony can force publishers by denying them a release, MS do it all the time and they all bend to it and consumers (that is me and you) benefit from it.  SCEE never does this, they are complete shit and don't really care how the end result affects the consumer.

The game actually costs more than the original release of the game, twice as much almost.  Imagine if Sony ported Resistance 1 to PS Vita, then made it digital only asked about $110 US for it, that is what we are looking at here.  There is no defending this. 

oh I'm not defending the price...it's very stupid no doubt about that. But vita is NOT in a position for sony to say no to games. And like I said there is a small set of people who would love to have the game even at that price. With poor sales they won't have a choice but to drop it the price...if not, their loss. But saying the system or the sony is to blame is just really reaching. Sony have done a lot of stupid shit with the vita but I don't think this as one of them. Guess we will agree to disagree

@Teflon: come on now. We complain about many many things about vita and sony. I am not even sure why you would say that. Listen some people (yes including me) are fine with digital only releases. As long as I get the game I'm fine with that..especially if the choice is either that or not getting the game at all. Would I love more options? Sure. But sadly vita does not sell well enough to instill confidence on developers, especially those who have not released a game on it yet. So yes I am fine with it. But I don't think anyone would attack you for it...and they definitely shouldn't. 

Do people feel this thread has out lived it's purpose now? Be honest


I've been attacked for saying I refused to buy New Little Kings Story because it99 being released for full retail price but choosing DL only. Same when I said I lost all interest in EDF because of it and because a few pages ago I said I can't justify paying more then $19.99 for a DL only game and person replies saying not this argument again..., yet it's not a argument but me stating a opinion based off info I've gotten from Sony and insomniac on different occasions. I don't mean like F U type attack, but always someone jumping to conclusions saying something completely unnecessary. Not even my first time complaining, and I'm not the only one who this has happened to. What annoys me about this too is, they'll keep doing this unless people complain. And what else is the Digital buyers complain about small stuff like wanting to paying $35.99 instead of $39.99 and they already don't pay tax online. They wanna be picky as hell but I'm not allowed to feel a company is wrong for full prices game releases digital only? No sense in it.
