Help NIS America Bring Badaman PSP to UMD!

One of the things that irks me as a collector of games is this trend of releasing certain console and portable titles as download-only product (grrrr!). While it's indeed great for those folks who feel no need to have a physical product, the simple fact is some of us out there would like the choice to have one or the other (or even both in some cases). Heck, what if you're in an area without decent (or any) broadband access or just want the simple pleasure of actually reading a manual you can hold in your hot little hands?

Don't get me wrong, folks - the ability to pay for and download new games and game content works amazingly well for those gamers who don't give a hoot about the above issues, but SOME games would actually enjoy a much LARGER user base IF they were made available in as many (legal) forms as possible (grrr!). Yeah, that means you too, Konami (the otherwise superb Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment SHOULD also get a darn disc release on the Xbox 360 AND PS3 for those of use who want it! grrrr!!!)

Anyway, Nippon Ichi America and online retailer of NISA goodness, RosenQueen Company recently took a pool and found out that quite a few people want to see one of this year's best download-only PSP titles, Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! (What Did I Do to Deserve This?) come to UMD and as soon as humanly possible. So guess what? NISA has asked gamers to put their money where their mouths are an PRE-ORDER the game through the RosenQueen Store. All they need is a minimum of 1000 pre-orders and BOOM! they can start producing the game this November for shipment sometime in December. Even better, this great little strategy game will only cost a mere $19.99! Now, how cool is that?

Anyway, ogle the info below, click on those links and if you want this one in your PSP collection, place that pre-order NOW! This could be some sort of turning point for more games to follow suit. Hell, they've got MY money already!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday! First of all, thank you very much for participating in the Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! UMD poll. We have received a lot of votes, and we also received lots of emails from our fans telling us that they really wanted the UMD of Badman. We are now happy to tell you that we've decided to start the pre-order for Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! on UMD at the RosenQueen store! (The preorder ends on 11/13).

In order to make it possible for us to release Badman on UMD, we will have to receive at least 1,000 pre-orders by 11/13. We are currently trying to get some support from retailers for this UMD version of Badman, by letting them know that there are many fans who are still interested in the UMD version of Badman! If we could get supoprt from them, we will be able to make the UMD version of Badman even if the pre-orders at RosenQueen don't reach 1,000. If you know anybody who wanted to have the UMD version of Badman, let them know about this pre-order!

Let's make this happen, people!!! Updates to come as we get them...
