It's really really annoying that companies don't announce at least a month in advance when they know a game is going to be delisted... Luckily I already had Scott Pilgrim, but damn so many people will miss out on this game now.
More like brb, getting Hulk Ultimate Destruction on ebay.

Do the ultimate codes include all DLC for SP? Been wanting it for years and never got the bullet. Can't believe they stealth pulled smh. I'll get the ultimate edition for sure if all DLC is included.
Edit: Nvm, Best Buy's site just was super sparse on the info but Gamestop covered it. It does have all the DLC.
Edit 2: Bought the Best Buy code. Redeemed fine.

Fuck, never got around to buying the Wallace DLC. Are those codes for the DLC still going to be good tomorrow morning? I'll have the cash to spare by then.

Weird that MvC:O got delisted now when we were told tomorrow.

This is crazy. Uno?! You can still find games instantly, it's quite popular.
Scott Pilgrim is really fun, looks and sounds fantastic. I could never get past the 3rd level though, I'm pretty bad at it.

Earthbound isn't a licensed digital only game. I do remember Best Buy selling it really cheap in the late 90s to get it off their shelves!

I know I bought the Wallace DLC but I don't remember if I got Knives, shame there was never a PC or Vita port though.

I just got a brand new, factory sealed copy of Ray Tracers for the PlayStation, more than a decade after it was discontinued at retail.
Meanwhile, I can no longer buy Scott Pilgrim-- or many other delisted games-- new, used, or otherwise.
That's where the dark side of digital distribution shows itself. Unlike physical games, which are still available through a variety of sellers, digital games can't be sold piecemeal later on after a user no longer wants it. Many games will vanish, with only videos and screenshots to prove their existence... unless obtained through "other" means.
Yes, physical games can be more expensive... but at least copies exist for sale.

The shop for character power ups were in the first level. So if you were finding it too difficult, you could buy power ups to make your character stronger and last longer in fights
I guess this semi explains why Scott Pilgrim was on sale a few weeks ago. Wierd that they never announced it, but I have it and all DLC.
I hope I actually bought the game, rather than get it through PS+ though. I got Simpsons through + and now I really wish I'd have bought it outright now that its gone.

Nope. No physical release either. Basically the only way to play this game in the future is by modding your 360.

No PC release, only PSN/XBL.
From now on, the only ways to obtain this game will be through modded PS3/360 consoles and maybe emulation some day in the far future.

There goes the dream of Ubisoft bringing Scott Pilgrim over to the One and PS4. Probably my favourite game of it's genre.

Got my Wallace, although I doubt the online DLC will be too useful when the game's not even on the market anymore...
Earthbound is a 20 years old game for a discontinued plattform, with a huge cult following. Quite a silly argument against retail games.

It sadly hasn't been useful for a long time. Hopefully this means people play the game online again (if the servers live) as I still need to get that last one for 100%

Remember - Scott Pilgrim was offered on PS Plus awhile back, so if you've been a subscriber for awhile, its probably in your download list. Go grab it.

Shit, man.
The digital era is awful. Scott Pilgrim, all that great pixel art, all the programming and design that went into making it a complete package...all lost. Unarchivable.

Sucks. At the very least, Uno is still available through some of the XBLA Compilation discs.

I had Scott Pilgrim as a PS+ title, downloaded and launched, but haven't been a subscriber in a while.
If I re-up my sub will it still be there?

I don't understand why this happens. Who benefits from the delisting of these titles?

Glad I bought Scott Pilgrim when it went on sale the other week.
I played the Scott Pilgrim demo on XBLA--remember those
I didn't help it for me. Enemies had way too much life.
Delisting is really terrible for game preservation though.
I don't know about the XBLA version but I'm pretty sure at least the PSN version was patched so enemies health wasn't so ridiculous like it was when it first launched.
Totally forgot to get Marvel vs. Capcom before it got delisted but scott pilgrim being removed kinda came out from nowhere. Glad I got it during that flash sale awhile back but feel sorry for anybody that wants to get but can't now.
Also reading through this thread really made me want it on vita now....

This is why I want physical!
Tried the gamestop option, no codes were given.
Waiting to hear back from customer service.
T_T
EDIT: I went in my browser history to the confirmation page after purchase.
Download code was there AND IT WORKS!!!.
After I had purchased it the site asked if I wanted to sign in. Big mistake since the order history and confirmation email doesn't list the code.
In fact the order history has no evidence that a transaction even took place.
Lesson learned. Never click off GS confirmation page. Their order history is non existent when it comes to digital. Well at least for me anyway

Really? I'm buying the GS code then. I like the rest, but the balance was off. I'm sure they never updated the demo lol.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
I have Origina Game + Knives but I don't see any point to buying online mode since they probably shut it down in few weeks or so since it got delisted.

Just bought a code for Scott Pilgrim from best buy and it still worked.

Biggest one I'm bummed of losing is Uno, thankfully it's available on a very cheap compilation disc. Still love playing online from time to time. Hope XBLA doesn't keep reducing in size, it's got a ton of good stuff.

Er.. nah, it's trash. Just buy Dragon's Crown. Or even Double Dragon Neon.

And are usually readily available on ebay for reasonable prices. Kakuto Chojin is still available new for under $15.
Just to reiterate, that was on the PSN download I have. The HP values for enemies were changed. I had to grind money to power up my character to get through the game originally but afterwards the game was much more manageable when they cut down the HP. I can't vouch that the same was done for XBLA version but it would make sense if it was. lol, yeah they probably never did update the demo

I still have a copy of Kakuto Chojin!
