    "...NIS America is promising a UMD version of the game - meaning it would be playable on the PSP-3000 and earlier..."

    Just to be clear, it already is playable on the older PSPs. #nisamerica

    @dowingba: I've been seeing this for some time, journalists (not just this site, many others) write as if it is not available on older models because its downloadable. The downloads are available on all psp models, even the minis. The way this is written its as if its not available on the older models, which it is. #nisamerica

    I could go on a discussion that's been done to death about whether or not digital downloads is the superior way to go anyway. But I have a more pressing query.

    HOW THE HELL DO I BEAT THIS GAME!?! I love it to death but it frustrates me to no end! I can't quite figure out the path finding and drop patterns each of these little creatures in my giant ant farm are using. It's like, some bizarre geometry based magical alchemy at work here and I'm stuck doodling squares that look like rhombuses. #nisamerica

    Some people don't seem to understand what originally happened when this game was released. At that time, Sony said that you could have a UMD release or a PSN release ... NIS was forced to make a choice. Now, with the PSP Go, Sony is allowing both. This was revealed when they announced the sequel to this game.

    I personally passed on it when it was download only, but I'll pre-order it now ... hopefully it'll reach 1000. #nisamerica

    Bullshit. If they want to reach the vast majority of PSP owners, they NEED a UMD release.

    This childish tactic of saying they'll take their ball and go home "unless..." only hurts themselves, seeing how the ball in this case is worth more than what they'd ever make selling the title digital distribution only. #nisamerica

    @Ca$h (aka man of the people): I think that they WANT to make a UMD release... it's just that they can't front the costs themselves, so must convince their financial backers that they aren't pissing their cash down a pipe. They are estimating that roughly 1000 pre-orders would at least cover some of the costs involved.

    I totally didn't get the 'commit to this or stick it' vibe that you detected at all. #nisamerica

    Just out of curiosity, before I go through the whole checkout process . . . how much is shipping on this site? If it's only a couple bucks, I'll gladly do this. I've always wanted to play this game, and I don't have nearly enough space on my memory card to start downloading games.

    Anyone ordered it and know? #nisamerica

    Badman is awesome, but it's kind of niche with the 8bit RPG like graphics.

    Still, I really hope it can achieve that number... not only for UMD, but because it's a good game with a different style that deserves support.

    I'll try pre-ordering it... dunno if I'll be able to though. #nisamerica

    If you are one of the many people that seem to be wondering why NIS is bothering with this: some people are opposed to digital downloads and would much rather have the security and tangibility of a UMD release. I for one, still prefer my games to be on a physical format when possible. If NIS wants a sale out of me, its UMD or nothing. #nisamerica

    I'm confused. Any PSP model can play it. So why would they need a UMD release? ...another thing that confuses me is the statement saying "Bad man" fans were informed that 1,000 pre-orders is needed. "Bad Man" fans already have the game, why would they put money down for the same game?! NIS confuses. #nisamerica

    If a UMD version helps it reach more players, I say go for it. I already downloaded the PSN version, and I rather like it. Very challenging, quirky, and even a bit funny. #nisamerica

    Even though I have a 2000 model, I think I'm going to stick to downloads from now on. It's just more convenient for a portable gaming system. I'll still go physical for the home gaming, but downloadable is much easier for something that I don't want to take up a lot of space. #nisamerica
