There is still no incentive for consumers to go digital.
With cable/isp companies wanting impose caps in the usa/canada. It will make consumers think twice in dling stuff over the net.
Not to mention not everyone has high speed internet. Games can take 2-3 days to download, why not go out and buy it.
Also no price incentives, publishers are saving from "disc/packing/shipping/retailing" and nothing is transfer to the consumers. No thanks, |
It's a terrible shame that the consoles and handhelds have such laughable digital prices when compared to just about any digital distributor on the PC.

PC is just as bad, most PC games apart from the Indie stuff I can get a physical copy £5-10 cheaper on Amazon than services like Steam ETC.

I bought Mass Effect for $4.99 and Mass Effect 2 for $6.24 (no tax). I rarely have to pay more than $5 for a disc-based game through Steam due to the fantastic sales. The most I ever paid for a game purchased digitally was Portal 2 for $9.99. I use several other sites (greenmangaming, gog, etc...) and only buy games that are on sale. Just yesterday I saw that Human Revolution was $12.49 on greenmangaming and decided to wait for a better sale before purchasing it.

Using your examples here in the UK you can get.
Human Revolution for £2.99 from Amazon, steam it's £29.99 greenmangaming it's £25.97....
Mass effect £6 Amazon Steam £10 Steam £9 greenmangaming.
