I may be wrong here, but this is the first time I've seen Sony make a conscious effort to price the digital downloads of new release PSP games lower than what they sell for in stores. BlazBlue sells for $29.99 at retail, and while a $5 difference isn't anything much, it's still the direction they should have headed as soon as the PSPGo launched. The only way to convince people to get digital content is if it's either not available in a physical media format, or if it's cheaper. It's so much cheaper to do digital distribution than to make physical product, so having the same pricing across both comes off as greedy. I'd say it's way too late now, though. The U.K. seems to be dropping game prices like mad on the PSN, maybe the U.S. will get some of that love next week?

*Played the demo last night. Things look and work smooth. Just had some trouble getting used to the new controls. I wasn't able to do any strong grapple move, so I will need to work on that.* Agreed.
