doubt many will be buying this though, there is too many games and not enough time.
wish sony would release PSN games onto disks like they did with PAIN or wipeout HD.
i enjoy playing some of the PSN titles, but have missed out on so many of them because i either dont want to download them or im weary im not going to like it and think i wasted my money.
thats the reason i still have not played fat princess, shatter and allot of other PSN titles.
if sony were to release those onto disks id jump at them.
