http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/09/psdayone620pxhed-1348591437.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/psn-day-1-digital-ps3/)Taking a cue from Nintendo's Wii U (http://www.engadget.com/tag/wiiu), Sony's PlayStation 3 is getting digital versions of some games delivered at the same time as their physical counterparts starting next week with Resident Evil 6 andNBA 2K13. via "PSN Day 1 Digital." Unlike Nintendo's initiative, however, Sony's is third-party focused -- not one game on its initial list of eight titles is published by any of Sony's international publishing studios.
It's unclear whether this is a full-on initiative for Sony's PlayStation 3 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ps3) or a promotion for October alone, but Sony's PlayStation blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/09/25/psn-day-1-digital-get-these-8-ps3-games-digitally-on-release-day/) calls PSN Day 1 Digital "a new program," which indicates it's something more than just a one month promo -- all the same, we've asked Sony for more info. Beyond just offering a smattering of games digitally at launch, PSN Day 1 Digital allows for pre-orders, and even offers a 10 percent discount on 007: Legends should you pre-order as a PlayStation Plus member. Head past the break for the full list of titles.
