Little Bit Ridiculous

A point of contention in the PSU community lately has been whether or not to offer digital downloads of the PSU client to potential players/subscribers. I suppose this is because hard copies of the game have become incredibly hard to find, and console players whose discs are failing after long periods of use are losing out.

On the official Sega forums, GM Edward has started a thread in which he asks for suggestions on a digital download feature for PSU. Personally, I think it's a great idea -- it could provide a way to get new players into the game -- but that's not why I decided to write this blog entry.

A post in the thread shows that you can still get hard copies of the original PSU game on Amazon -- for a price. I couldn't believe what they were charging for the Xbox 360 version, so I had to check it out myself.

That's right. Now you too can own the original Phantasy Star Universe for the low, low price of $113.99! Honestly, who would be stupid enough to buy this?
