It does grate a little that it isnt cheaper, but I'm essentially lazy and seek instant gratfification (its my age) so a download beats the hell out of driving to the store, parking, speaking to an idiot in Game and then driving back. Postage options can be hit and miss too. |
i don't know how the laws work in the UK but here in chicago when i buy my game digitally i get out of paying a 12% tax rate. that is about 7 bucks on a full priced game. throw in a gallon (or whatever) of gas at about $5 a gallon and going to the store is just not very cost effective. amazon is cheap but having to wait for the game to arrive sucks donkey ballz.
i pre-ordered dark souls via amazon and when they still hadn't shipped the game 5 days after release i just said fuck it and canceled my amazon order and bought it at the store. seriously amazon,.. what the fuck is a pre-order worth if you can't even put it in the mail on release day. infamous 2 was the worst though. also on pre-order and i ended up waiting 3 weeks for that fucking game to arrive. in retrospect i wish i would have said fuck it to amazon and gone full digital even earlier than i did.
