But I do agree, if everyone starts releasing USBs, it's not going to overthrow the convenience of digital downloads.
Sorry, I didn't mean specifically this release... I meant that I doubt this will be a way to get physical sales up like Karen said. It's much more expensive and just has less benefits than an actual CD, so I don't see USB format bringing up physical sales ever.
