Let's be honest, if you searched hard enough, you could get a better deal on hard copies day one as well. However, as this is psn where you normally get ripped off, this is kind of a big deal.

Sometimes yes, if you get free shipping and don't have to pay taxes. It's not an incredible deal, but it's not bad. It's a start for digital content on consoles having better pricing, anyway.

Sony is really strengthening its online space.

Just like Kaz Hirai told he would do, when he took over as Sony CEO.

The way they are pushing PS+ and Gaikai purchase, prove that

I wish downloads of full games were cheaper. Downloads should be 20% off RRP. Plus, i dread waiting for a game like Assassin's creed III to download, it would take forever.It's good that PSN is offering the choice, nonetheless

Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Ass-creed is "pre-downloadable" meaning you can download the game before its official release date and then be able to play it at exactly 00:01 The night it's released
