That's the case, but yeah, definitely off-topic... http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/games/uncharted-golden-abyss-ps-vita/91436 Which would be on-topic, though.

Now we are venturing OT but I thought the format was proprietary but you still had to get the content on the memory via the glorious Internet?

Here's your baseline: Sony Vita. They already tossed the UMD out with the PSP-GO and that failed miserably. Now they are trying again to go to digital only with the Vita. It's not the scale of PS3 or XBOX360 but it may be a good way to gauge the potential success of the concept.

Just don't do it if you are on a low cap plan (eg: mobile, satellite etc). Caps will be the new market discriminator IMHO. Jared Mauch
