It was SRG. I feel guilty, I sold my copy just before this was announced. Woops.

Well pretty sure 99% of gamers would rather buy for $3 digital than $20 physical. *checkmate*

Pretty sure those digital copies will be inaccessible in a few years.

Not sure why no one else has mentioned this, but I also had a clippable 30% off coupon on the item page for PS5, bringing it down to $14. I wasn't familiar with this game, but loved ninja gaidan back in the day, so in for a copy!

It's like an NES ninja gaiden I could actually beat, mind you it's still very hard but it just tends to be more fair and less "Nintendo hard" cheap. I think you'll really enjoy it! I just beat it yesterday and it was a blast.

$4 on psn right now digitally.

And for the dude who said it will be inaccessible in a few years digitally, tell me what games for psn or Xbox live you can't play anymore that you purchased. I'll wait....
