^I wasn't aiming to express an opinion, if I did it was unintentional (except the last line), I was remarking on the trouble Gachapoid faces as a vocaloid.

Right now Ann and Al are DL only from PowerFX and most vocals now go on sale at first only as a DL. I do note that hard versions tend to rack in less money because of effort, costs of production, postage and package (if its a mail order), etc, etc. Its the same for pretty much anything these days. Even books are much cheaper to sell and produce if sold on-line which is part and part why products that download and read things like this are becoming popular.

I wouldn't' be surprised if the day comes when no Vocaloid receives a hard cover though, since technology is driving things that way anyway. Other then promotional bonus and personnel preferences, there is getting less and less reasons to sell products on hard format that can be made DL. Steam, for example, now is responsible for the sale of 40% of all games. Thats a huge chunk of the gaming market. :-/
