You can also go to Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Target for day one releases on the PC (at least the big ones). I think this is a bad move on Microsoft's part, and why can't publishers offer their games on day one if they want to? If companies want to push for digital content then they have to have their games up for sale day one on Games on Demand and offer discounts. I am telling you from experience that if a game is of AAA quality and is $50 to download I would take it over a disc release 90% of the time.
Doesn't bold well for all this digital only push that game companies ultimately seem to want. What are we, 30 years off now? Never?
So far I've only bought Dead Space 1 because it was $20 new on disc or download at the time, and I wanted to support the development of future Dead Space games.
Edit: Yeah as the guy above me, did he really say full price six months later? I'm sure that attractive price point will help sales... lol.
It's just that simple.
