And customer service reps know whats going on? I think we'll see Sony hold their cards close, and hope to get it out this late spring, but you'd think they'd be pushing the ad campaign really hard for this if it was coming sooner rather than later.
You have your library. Your bookshelf on the wall. You have friends and others, when they come over look over your shelf of books and more than likely they'll comment on it. Similar to your CD collection. People like to see what others are reading or listening to. On the personal side, you like to look at your library and see the books you've read, the ones that you just quite havn't had the time to finish, the ones you got because it was a recommendation but never really read. But there is a proud feeling to see them on the shelf, knowing you have them and have them there to take down at any time, even years from now to relive the experience, or gain more from it.
The physical forms of games are much the same. I still have my CD's from Quake, Diablo, the StarControl Collection, Riven, Fallout and tons of others. I love to see them on the shelf. I love to pick them out and mess with them a bit from time to time. I love it when others looks at what games I have and comment on them. Console gaming is always about that. When you go over to a friends house and you see a few games lying around don't you want to look and see what they are?
On-line downloads are great don't get me wrong. I love how they are allowing for independent developers to get out there and distribute product in a way that the publishing system won't allow for. (See Starscape for a great example of quality independant game) But without a physical form to these games, I'm going to forget about them and delete them eventually or just have to re-download them again at some future date, or even have to pay for them all over again if I lost my key or something.
Summary - Would you rather have "Grapes of Wrath" bound and printed till the day it decomposes or in eBook format that you'll probably have the rights expire, the provider will go away, the format will die. Would you rather have Half Life 2 on CD for all time, or get a long download from Steam with no real way to ever have it saved.
Lost Levels already covered this last month in this article. Final Fantasy IV for the NES was only a mockup. The internet community does not dub it Final Fantasy 3.5. No, only FFCompnedium does. Check out the article though, its a great read.
Because this was an original Square translation that never saw the light of day. It's not a fan one (which has better English and is more polished) but done internally and never unleased to the English speaking world till Square came back and did a re-translation for their Origins release.
I have determined, using Big Blue's new Quantum Computer (special 6 atom version) that the life of a proton very interesting properties. The answer to everything you ask is 3.

Check out . They are doing something similar to this and finding the people who worked on some of these abandoned projects and finding out what happened from the inside.
Bear with me here.
