Great!
I generally don’t like digitally distributed games. I want disks!

NOW I will definitely buy a copy of “Siren”.

Full disc price? It’s £19.99 on PSN, which is cheaper than your average full-price game.

I wonder if this is a reaction to poor sales? Sony was adamant that it was going to be download-only. I imagine that the delivery method was a case of testing the water for future large titles, and that a Blu-Ray was tentatively planned if it wasn’t a big success as DLC.

Anyway, it’s great, and well worth downloading, if you ask me.

I want to play this a lot, but giving up a chunk of drive that they were asking for, proved to be a bit of a stumbling block. I’m glad it’ll now be available on BluRay, so that’s no longer going to be a concern – oh, and it looks they’re including some bonus content, too. Which is nice.

That’s so daft. Disc it is, then.

No, it’s R18 but since there has never even been a game on the store that has been rated 16 or higher I doubt ir will ever appear here.

Which is a bit silly since you have to be over 18 to make an account in the first place.

Is it banned in Germany?

Even if I wanted to download it I couldn’t thanks to the great laws we have over here.

Yep, agree. I’m glad I didn’t buy it on PSN now, to be honest.

I hope that Europe’s North American cousins get the same treatment. I don’t like paying 10 bucks for a silly little PSN game let alone full disc price. If I pay that kind of money, I expect a disc.
