Warhawk to get stand alone retail SKU for US$ 40 |

Back in August, Warhawk was released in two versions. The first is in its DLC-format available on the PlayStation Network for US$ 39.99. The second option was to for US$ 59.99, but that's as a bundle that comes along with a bluetooth headset. Right now, it seems as if there's going to be a third option to be made available by the end of the month.
We first got whiff of it from Level Up's N'Gai Croal: Warhawk could be sold as a stand alone Blu-ray disc for US$ 39.99. Interestingly enough, online retail stores have been posting product pages of the stand alone Warhawk. We checked ourselves: Amazon says it gets released on October 31. Gamestop says it gets released October 10.
So why release a Blu-ray version? Well, it seems pretty obvious: it's all about consumer choice. The more options you have, the better, right? Level Up inquired the Sony rep about this, though. Was this indicative of some future trend that Sony might take? Will they be releasing those AAA titles as DLC and marked up retails bundles... and then follow it with a stand alone game disc SKU with a stripped price? The Sony spokesperson's reply, however, was that Sony had no new announcements regarding such strategy.

because not everyone have a credit card or isn't an adult to have it and can't download it from the store
why release a Blu-ray stand alone version?
because there are so many people that have a blue tooth headset already
why release a download version?
for people like me that don't want to go to the store because don't have the time to do it and the alwas win because u can't trade what u buy in the store of course so is a secure buyer... in the blu-ray version u can trade it for another game or for cash and they lose to sell another new one for the used one that was previously buyed...

Frankly I think this is a smack in the face for anyone who bought the downloadable version. The download should of been cheaper than the retail version because it has no resale value.

In Australia dude, it is HALF PRICE to download it. And from what THIS ARTICLE is saying, it IS cheaper to download it in the US, too. HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY NOT BE ABLE TO READ THAT. ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE. THE DOWNLOADABLE VERSION _IS_ CHEAPER THAN THE RETAIL VERSION YOU MORON.
