Collector's Can Now Own a Physical Copy of Chess and 2 More Indie Games on PS4

Quote :

Thanks to the investigations of a user on NeoGAF and some Amazon listings, it looks like 3 digital-only PS4 titles will be receiving a retail release.  Stick it to the Man, Pure Chess, and Pure Pool have been spotted on Amazon with boxarts for a price of $19.99.  Whether these are actual physical copies with discs or merely boxes with download codes remains to be seen, and we’re not yet sure if these are Amazon exclusive or will eventually show up at other retailers.

While it seems like a rather random selection of games, all 3 titles were originally published by the same company, and are now being distributed physically by a company called PlayIt.  While I’ve yet to play Pure Pool or Pure Chess, I can confirm that Stick it to the Man is a wonderful and definitely worth playing if you haven’t already (and it’s available on every platform under the sun).  I hope that these physical editions do well enough to encourage other bringing other indie games to the physical realm.

I wouldn't mind playing pool or chess online. Hell, I've wasted tons of hours playing it on my computer. Though, it's not the same as playing in real life.

In my experience, a lot of people cheat at online chess unless there are serious time limits (nowhere near as bad as scrabble though), so it doesn't even come close to playing irl. Still, it'd be a fun little option to have available.

Physical media FTW!

I think Chess and Pool would be convenient just to have on the hard-drive.

I once beat someone at chess 4 times in row, unintentionally. I wasn't even paying attention to the game really, and was busy talking to someone. True story.
