KH All-in-One - Why is PSN more expensive?

Recommended Posts

Im keeping a very close eye at that new bundle "Kingdom Hearts All-in-One". Currently my wife and I have the entire collection on PS3 and again on PS4. But with the exception of of "KH - HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX", all of our KH PS4 games are on Disc. With the increasing quality and availability of PS4 Remote streaming, We really want all the games digital.
Looking at PSN, the All-In-One package is $99.99 US. But someone told me about Best Buy having it for $49.99. I confirmed this and was excited as I have $45 rewards points. BUT. . . it occurred to me that neither Best Buy nor Gamestop (which shows the same price) identify their product as Digital. Is the PSN option the only way to get digital? And does anyone know why it's twice the cost? Wouldn't Digital usually be a bit cheaper even if only by a couple of dollars?

Hate to break it to ya, but digital releases of games are ALWAYS full-price unless on a sale or part of a lower-priced rerelease that permanently decreases their price. The All-In-One physical release isn't surprising in the least, considering 2 of the discs are almost 3-year-old HD collections & one's a 1-year-old new game that's sold extremely well. Physical is always less than digital in these cases. The thing that's gonna be a bitch is the Xbox One ports of 1.5+2.5 & 2.8 because you can bet your ASS Square are gonna charge full price for older HD versions of older games brought on to a new platform, if the Final Fantasy HD remasters (that were on PS3/4 &/or PC in a few cases for several years beforehand) from last year are any indication. It's sad, but reality, unfortunately.

Whaaaa?? Dude, never fails lol. I actually should have been patient and waited. I Was pretty anxious to play the game (played through it the moment it became available to install. Ultima Keyblade made all the difference) but... I could've waited.

Never gonna get through those crazy bosses though to find Sora. Just Youtubed all the cutscenes XD

Ya, it may be a matter of fact and common understanding, but just dont get how digital information is more expensive that hard copy, when hard copy costs additional materials. But what eva.

Thanks all for your time and feedback! Deeply appreciated!

That's absurd!  I am with you.  Why is so expensive?

To anyone that might be following this, KH All-In-One is $29.99 (70% off) today. Idk how long itll last.
EDIT:
I had asked for advice on how to install, as I couldn't find anything on web. But there was a post on Reddit.
If you have the disk versions of any of the KH Games, you have to uninstall/delete the games, go back in to the store, search for each game ( 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix, 2.8 prologue, and KH III) and download/install theme. Supposedly, your save stats will not be deleted, though its too early for me to confirm this. I just wanted to post the sale as fast as possible, and how to install it.

 

EDIT 2:
Confirmed. Your save states stay in tact.
