I also had a Bluetooth headset before I got Warhawk, but since there was no price difference at the time I bought it and I'd rather have a disc copy of the game, I purchased the retail bundle.
I say the disc only because if you grow tired of the game you have something physical that you can trade in...but if money is of no matter and you have a headset, then go with the digital copy...
You need a both selection as well. I have two PS3's and have both. You will regret the PSN decision like I did if you ever get another PS3 or go to a friends house. Only my account can play it. My son used to play on my account too, on MY tv, until I got the disk version for him for downstairs. I can't play on my account downstairs with the downloaded one without having to wait for 24 hours to be able to play again in my living room. If anyone is making a choice...choose the disk. Even used it's a better deal.
the disc hands down. it doesnt eat up hardrive space and like the guy above me said you can take it anywere u want to go unlike the downloaded version.
Disk bc if you get the dl version then only the sn that dled it can play it. It would also be a pain to have to redl it on another ps3. Also I still like the feeling of openning a new case and having a case sit on my shelf
I have the disc version. Mainly becuase I like having a disc and it came with a headset, but also there are no PSN cards! I Mean I want Pixel Junk Monsters & The COD4 maps :(, but my parents won't let me use their credit cards, and won't give me one...
well i traded in a game and had like 30 some dollars of in-store credit and put it towards the retail for the game and headset, i already had a headset but i was able to get another one and the game for less then the PSN version.
I got the full disc set with jabra headset, so if i dont like it i can trade it it...that wont happen, glad i got a hard copy runs super quiet aswell unlike uncharted which whirred way too much.

You are wrong it still takes up the same amount of hardrive space from the install. makes me wish i had the psn version. that way i can switch from it to cod4 without gettting my ass off the couch
Picked up the disk last week, and cannot believe I waited so long to get this game. My favorite mutliplayer game by a long shot. Every PS3 owner owes it to themselves to own this game.
Also, I got the disk because I just prefer to have a hard copy of my games. Just old fashioned like that I suppose, lol.
Disc, no brainer. Never paying for a game that does not have a physical back up. Especially when the DL version is restricted and you can not sell it later. Got my disc + headset version new for $40 at the store :)
if the disc installs the same space onto your hardrive as the dl version why do i still have to have the disc in to play? shouldnt i be able to take it out if the game is completely installed onto the hardrive?
i just googled it and the disc version take up 8 MEGS the downloadable version takes 8 GIGS i dont know if you know anything about hardrives man but 8 gigs is just a tad bigger than 8 megs.

thats right its near a gig from store and near a gig from install off the disc
I got the disk version becuase I saw it at a store for 40 bucks and a blu-tooth headset. The price immediently went up after I purchased it, so hooray for me?!

Because then people would buy it, install it, and trade it back in. AKA "why you can't trade PC games in to Gamestop".
Q: Should I buy this off PSN, or buy a hard copy? A: Personally, I prefer buying a hard copy because you have an actual copy of the disk, so you can lend it to friends, sell, etc. The downloaded version is limited to one PSN account only - so you can give it to a friend to borrow, or sell Warhawk if you ever get sick of it.
I don't own Warhawk, but my position on this is if there's a hard copy available, get that instead. HDD space aside, it'll prevent any issues if PS3 decides to pull what Microsoft did and strip your "fair use" rights.
