$40 digital and $25 physical. Huh.
Different store fronts demand different pricing approaches though. Digital always keeps the "standard price" the same so that they can offer deep discounts through digital flash sales and such.

If you look at Katamari's price history (here) you'll see the digital version is frequently on sale for $13, as recently as two weeks ago too, a price it will never be for physically since the physical stores can't eat that much cost.
