Title: Patapon 2 in US to be download only

No UMD. The retail box will pretty much contain a slip of paper with a code on it to download the game from PSN. I'm fucking pissed, I don't want to be forced to download this! Japan and Europe got UMDs, and it was on the PSN store. So whats the deal?

To top things off, the current rumor is that retail will cost $20, and direct from PSN will be $15. What. The. Fuck? I mean, I'd be perfectly happy paying $5 more for a hard copy over a digital download. But in this case they fundamentally end up being the same anyway!

As I said in IRC:  Import from the UK.  This is some stupid shit, to be sure, but since the games are region-free, I think this is the perfect time to take advantage.
