Interesting idea. I'm still curious to see if this makes the disc version as fast as the digital download. I'd prefer to buy the disc but when the director says that digital download is THE way to play the game, it gives me pause.

Wait.  What?  I'm a disc man, too (I was mass produced by Sony in the late 90's) and I don't like the idea of getting an inferior experience on the same console for the same price.  I do have plenty of HDD space, though.  Got an external a couple years ago.

I believe Takahashi was talking about the game not being able to fit on the disc, so he said they had to "work it out" and because of this, load times might be bad for the disc version, so he recommends the digital.
