Can somebody breakdown the $60 price tag for a game and explain why in most cases physical copies are the same price as digital ones?

think of t this way,what has happened to book stores when digital copies become significantly cheaper?

i bet retailers demanded parity prices or wont stock.

I have problem with that if it really happens. If that is not price fixing Maddoff is innocent.

 

I look at it differently. I would call it retailers protecting their businesses.  

Also think about it if MIcrosoft, Sony and Nintendo lower the price and suddenly retailers stop stocking their games then sales decrease. They are all waiting for everyone to have decent internet before they go fully digital and no need to rely on retailers.

That doesn't change anything though. What about protecting customers and give them the best deals?
