I'm waiting for a store bundle with a physical copy included, 399,- with 1TB drive means sold. A fix for the gamma shift would be nice too, but I can adjust my set for that as I did for the 360. MS is on the right track, however still ignores people with crappy internet. |
Considering that most of the consumer base that would be interested in buying a new console has decent internet, you can't expect MS to lower profit margins for almost no gain by bundling in physical software. Look, I sympathise with you, but blaming MS is not right, especially when Sony and Nintendo have both done it this gen. There is a big chance digital is the future, so at this point console manufacturers will do everything they can to promote digital media.

I see it more that MS is mostly interested in the consumer base with great internet. Which is fine, I'm not blaming them, much better margins to be made from people with unlimited internet willing to spend the same on digital downloads and movies. For someone like me, who sticks with physical media for full games and movies, they're simply not doing much to win me back. I can wait for the slim revision and buy the, by then, discounted physical games.

Gotcha. Well, hopefully one day internet will be cheap and abundant enough that things like this won't be a problem anymore.
