If digital is more convenient for you, why do you mind paying the same? Most games get sold at retail, and not only get sold, also advertised which bring in digital sales as well. 60$ is gauged as the price people are willing to pay, and that doesn't change with digital. You also really don't want to mess with the bread and butter of retail stores. When you combine all these, it's fair.

There are some very nice sales with digital. Like right now on PSN there's Knack and Infamous: SS for 21 EUR, Killzone for even less. Kind of insulting considering the triple pack bundle, in fact.

Please lets not act like there is no difference between digital and physical games.

  • The only reason digital prices match physical prices is cause there s more money to be made from any digital sale and they know they can get away with it right now. And of course there are certain deals made between them and retailers who also help with individual game marketing to keep the prices of digital locked.
  • Physical games even get deals before digital which is beyond me.
  • As convenient as digital may be, its inherently carries less value than a physical copy of the same game. Cause you know, you can trade in a physical copy of a game for at least someting.
Truth is, if this were a pro-consumer industry, theer is no reason digital games should not at leat cost $50.
