Yes, there are a lot of costs and benefit differences between digital and physical. And even whether something is a cost or a benefit can be quite subjective. For example, most people like having a physical artifact to go with their purchase, but for me, a disc and case is something I have to find storage space for. A few games isn't an issue, but several dozen games and hundreds of discs full of music and video... and I want to just put everything on a few disc drives and throw the rest away.

I'd say your 25% reduction is value is a good estimate, and that's about how much publishers are going to have to cut game prices to drive adoption of digital services over brick and mortar

Just to clairify, I ment 10% to 25% of the price of the physical game which is technically a 90% to 75% price reduction. Just making sure there is no confusion.

Okay...

I guess I'm impressed that you manage to recover 75-90% of your investment when you resell games.
