Sony Explains Why LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2 Weren't Downloadable

1Up: Sony still isn't prepared to make every one of their high-profile releases available day-and-date online and retail, said PlayStation Network senior director Susan Panico at today's webcasted Morgan Wedbush Morgan Securities New York MAC conference.

SOCOM: Confrontation and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue were two PlayStation 3 releases made available online via PlayStation Network and at retail last year. LittleBigPlanet and Killzone 2, two other PS3 releases, were not.

"One of the things we found, though, was that the Blu-ray disc experience for marquee games like that [LittleBigPlanet] currently just work better because the consumer wants to go in and get that physical product," explained Panico to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. "They want to go in and get the extra goodies that they get on the disc."

There's another reason, though, one we've heard many times before. (Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, PS3)
