Does no one find the FIFA digital sales comment odd?

yes, that's what i was going to post, physical sales decreased but overall sales increased 30% because digital sales increased ~95%? that makes no sense, that would mean digital sales are huge and i don't really believe that for fifa since it's mainly a console game.

Is it offered as a full game on LIVE and PSN?

Yes. Definitely on PSN at least and then very probably on Live as well.

Still, the price is ridiculous.

Could just be that the digital marketplaces are really starting to take off. I know Nintendo has remarked some surprise the proportion of their retail game sales coming off of E-shop instead.

Could be easier in Europe, being FIFA's bigger market and where the companies don't completely fleece you for decent broadband.
