I was looking forward to buying this game, but as a digital only title I will have to pass. Making this a digital only title seems to be a poor move unless Sony plans on lowering all memory card prices to prices that are comparable price-wise to SD cards and offering higher capacity cards.

I guess the PS Vita sales are going SO well that they do not really have to worry about if the games sell or not for their system…../sarcasm off

I love EDF. Really, I do. I think I put more than 50 hours in to 2017 so many years ago. And Insect Armageddon? I convinced 4 friends to buy it with me just to play online. We even wrote our own EDF theme song. I recorded it and everything, one guy had it as his ring tone. I was so stoked for this game… You have no idea. EDF 2017, in my pocket? Everywhere I go? Sold. I was already planning on the digital release anyway so that doesn’t bother me. It’s the 40$ price tag. Now I’m sure someone put some work in to this game. But… I played it back in 2006-2007. This is at least a 5 year old game. As much as I love EDF 40$ for this is too much. And I will unfortunately not be buying this one until someone at D3 stops trying to bleed the loyal EDF fans.

I really don’t like buying digital copies of games, no matter what system it’s from. So, I can say that I won’t be getting this game.

This is a port of a “budget series” type of game. While I LOVE EDF, I can’t in good mind set spend $39.99 for a digital only. I’m still upset the physical copy I was excited for was cancelled on Amazon. D3, I get where the company is coming from but to release this title for such an absurdly high price will not do you any good. Release it for $19.99.

Digital? LOL

1.) Can’t sell it
2.) Can’t swop it
3.) Can’t really gift it probably
4.) Can’t borrow it
5.) Can’t collect it
6.) and when the PSN service or something is not supported one day……then you can’t play it.

If it was a PSN cheapie then fine but this is a full retail game.

Will be importing my copy if I decide to get the game.

Sony, I implore you to listen to these comments and reconsider, yes there are only a few people posting, but these people represent a larger group, both you and consumers will be better off if you decide to tweak the prices and offer a physical version of this title.

An attempt at saving costs isn’t beneficial when it drives people away from purchasing titles.

Just to be clear, this is coming from someone who is an annual PlayStation Plus subscriber (which is currently paid through February 2014, has invested over $5,000 in PSN digital goods and at least $20,000 in physical games and Sony consoles including my PSP, my launch day Vita & the 3 PS3′s in my home. The point for providing this information is that if they won’t listen to me, they won’t listen to any customer, which, they won’t, I’m sure, but I had 20 minutes to kill and thought I’d share my thoughts. Thanks for your time & I’m sorry for my long-winded rambling.

I have a 32GB card in my Vita, as well as an 8GB and a 4GB back-up in my game carry-case. However, my 32 is nearly full and I’m saving my 8GB for my wife who is planning on getting her own Vita (so she can trophy-wh0re for herself, lol), and even switching between memory cards is a pain in the arse, so I really don’t even use the 4GB card. So, Sony, I guess I’m just capped for Vita games? Is that the answer here? I mean bravo on the PS3. I upgraded my HDD to a 640GB 2 years ago, and while I’ve filled it two times over, I know I can go out and get a non-proprietary, non-over-priced 1TB HDD for it now and fix all my problems, thus being able to shovel more money into Sony’s fat, greedy face, but the Vita… uhhh… will there ever be a 128GB card for it? And if there is, will it be under $400? LOL!

I’m getting way off topic, yeah, sorry, but my point was supposed to be that if there is no physical alternative to all these full size / full price digital games, us Vita owners are all going to end up not buying games because we won’t even be able to play them. I’m a 15 year Sony console loyalist and a fan of the EDF franchise and even I am going to have to pass on this one, and I do so with disappointment.

Well, this is the first I’ve heard of this game at all as far as coming to the Vita. I’m not a fan of Microsoft, so I never played the original, but I was one of the few who pre-ordered EDF:IA when it launched on PS3. It’s one of my “guilty pleasures” if you will, like Naughty Bear… a bad budget title that’s so bad it’s good.

Now, normally I’d be excited to hear this. Actually, I was when I read the headline & thought, “oh cool. Maybe I’ll go pre-order at GameStop tomorrow”. But then I read the rest and quickly lost interest. I’d have gladly paid $29.99 for a retail card, no problem, but $39.99 for digital? No.
