Same here. I'm planning on donating 175$ anyways because I want the T-Shirt and the book (the REAL book, not digital).
But damn, I'd be happy if they gave me the option to have a PS4 physical copy instead.
I have no way of knowing if my PC is powerful enough to play this game, nor do I care, because I prefer playing on my large TV. And yes, I can plug the laptop onto the TV with a HDMI cord, but then I'm hogging both the computer AND the TV at the same time, and my wife will whine that she has nothing to do.
It would also seem silly to buy a whole other computer just to remedy that problem, since we already have one. To top it all off, most PC games are sold through downloads, and I refuse to pay for software that does not come on a physical medium of some sort (Shenmue 3 being the only exception). Because yeah, you can re-download it on your account or whatever, but what about 10 years down the line? What if I wanna replay it, but don't have my account number or password anymore. Or what if I just like to collect games. I have over 150 Dreamcast games, neatly arranged on a shelf. My DC collection is something that I'm very proud of, and I suspect that wouldn't be the case if they were all digital downloads.
So yeah. A PS4 physical copy would be really, REALLY a huge deal for some of us. However, for me, Shenmue 3 is an even huger deal, so I'm making an exception just this one time.
