Companies like Microsoft and Sony could easily make digital games more appealing by selling digital copies cheaper and offering more or better preorder bonus.

But we haven't seen that so far

Now they charge the same or more for many of the games found on XBL or PS Store. And the preorder bonus suck compared to what Gamestop or Best Buy offer.

Do you realize they can't sell digital items less than retail or the retail stores will simply stop carrying their items?

They have all digital items - like Xbox Live Arcade (cept for some titles.)  Where they are the only ones, or nearly the only ones selling them.

Its a business decision, not a mean/stingy thing.

So that means They have to charge 10 - 20 dollars more for a digital game? Can't count the number of times a game has been $30 on XBL or PS Store when it's $20 at Best Buy or Walmart
