Maybe you're the type of person who's still a slave to physical media. Maybe you have a crush on the girl at your local GameStop, maybe you're trying to make your shelf of PS3 games more respectable. Whatever your excuse, Sony has you covered, confirming that they'll be releasing a $39.99 retail version of Warkhawk that doesn't include Bluetooth headset this month.

As you may remember, the game is currently just available in a $60 retail package with a headset or in a $40 downloadable form. Though the GameStop listing that originally started this story puts the game at an Oct. 10 release date, Sony has not confirmed that part of the story. We're not going to try to understand the logic behind this SKU, though we wouldn't be surprised if it's (in part) a bit of retailer placation. That's right game store, you're not threatened at all by full, downloadable games that don't even require people to get off their couches. Just go back to sleep, pumpkin.

well i already bought the 59.99 one and i thought it was a pretty damn good deal....$40 for the game and $20 for a rechargeable bluetooth headset...but yeah if you already have a headset and dont wanna DL the game this new 39.99 SKU seems like the best way to go...

I can see why people would rather have a blu ray disc and not just a download for $39.99.

Does the headset work good Angel?

yeah the headset works great for me the sound is pretty clear and the mic works great....oh and well the blu-ray also comes with trailers for lair, heavenly sword, Uncharted, and a "making of warhawk" vid...i dunno if those vids come with the downloadable version of the game..

i'd get this at retail for $40, but def. not some time this month or maybe even this year. this game releases about the same day as the orange box, and imo, the orange box is def. the better deal.

You might be thinking about another game because this one is already out. I don't think we'll see orange box until next year.

i meant i wouldnt be buying the $40 warhawk this month or later in the year.

i had to double check the release date for the orange box and it comes out this month on the 9th(for the 360) and a month later on the PS3. so yeah, orange box > warhawk.

im enjoying super stardust HD though.

I think we're not at the point where people just feel comfortable with having a downloadable version of a game. I mean you can even see that with software at times. Now perhaps during the Next Gen of gaming people won't mind so much, but right now I think we like to have a hard copy.
