The other reason to buy Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida or2 at stores

awesome dungeon management simulator with blocky Dragon Quest inspired graphics, will be a distributed as a able PlayStation Network game and in retail stores. About a 1,000 yen ($9.50) separates the two versions. The extra money goes towards a box, physical UMD, and if you pre-order Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida or2 a capsule figure of the demon king.

Neat, but the boxed retail version would be more memorable if Sony treated it like a special edition bundled with a soundtrack, a toy, and maybe a plush slime for a price. I don’t think gamers in Japan are that connected to the PlayStation Network to make the digital version a direct competitor to the retail version for Sony to do this yet. Also, the retail version comes with an inherent disadvantage. You can’t sell it as a second hand game.
