Patapon 2 = not for me...

The next Patapon game will be a download ONLY. Like Echochrome. That's two awesome PSP games I can't even play because I don't have a PS3 to transfer them from. Ugh. That's like not being able to play the new DS Zelda game because I don't have a Wii. Just kidding, everybody has a Wii. We just don't use them (until Punch-Out!! comes out!).

Apparently, Sony is testing the idea of distributing games completely digitally. It will be greener for the Earth, and maybe it'll even be cheaper for gamers and developers because you don't have to worry about all the manufacturing costs associated with the actual creation of a video game product. But no "new game smell"? Weak.

The digital disribution concept may also pave the way for a new PSP that doesn't have a disk drive, just a hard drive that you can download new games to. Spooky, but not that far off. And don't forget the eventual PS9, where we can just plug our game directly into our brain stem. Won't that be just a blast. Can't wait to get that surgery.
