Physical media is like "having a dead body handcuffed" to Xbox One

If physical media costs so much to make why do digital games cost the same. They need to reduce the cost of these games so it encourages consumers to convert to digital. I for one do not like digital downloads as i like to be able to sell games after i have finished them but i feel that companies are ripping people off as digitil should be cheaper than physical.

Also the other problem i see is if your console breaks down you lose all your games. With physical media that isn't an issue.

You don't lose your games, you just have to re-download them as they are tied to your account... except for Nintendo which still has to solve this, but they will.

I agree about the price though, the difference should be higher but that would piss off stores.

About reselling games I agree that it's an important thing for some, and in part that's why I only buy digital games during the Steam Sales, I don't mind losing the option to resell a game I got for less than 10 €.
