It's amazing how much more viable digital purchases are in the US. I couldn't bring myself to buy digital releases because they cost too much for what you lose. I do generally try to buy all my games new though and not pre-owned as I know that at least supports the developer. Unfortunately I can't afford every game i want however. But my game buying budget t currently concentrated on Vita and the odd PS3 release (I actually ultimately want a gaming PC for home gaming stuff.) That Studio Ghibli game is my next purchase though barring any Vita bargains for games I don't own.
