Gotta go with Disc on this one :P
@Selnor, well at most it probably costs the developers $2 to get the disc, box, manuals, and send to stores xD if they were selling it 10-20 dollars cheaper for online they're fools :P

Don't forget the retailer take of $4-$5. Also, this is unique in that Sony will publish the game either in store or online. But most third parties will save a significant amount $10-15 by publishing online versus in store. I can't believe that anyone would get the download. A. The price of the boxed version is cheaper. Yes, you may have to look around, but it's easy to get Prologue delievered to your door brand new for less than $40. The second is a month before the full version is out, you can sell it for $15-20. So it's essentially like paying $20-25 for the priveledge of playing Prologue for a year before GT5 is released. |
Well HD films on live work out to about £4. At shops they are £25 for the same film. I know what I'd do.

You can't compare renting a movie to buying a movie. Compare it to renting an HD movie at a movie rental place.
@ FOOD: The BD version requires a 5 GB install because it's basically the same thing as the PSN download, just on a disc. It's not programmed or optimized to stream off the Bluray disc. It's the same deal with Warhawk. If you buy the BD version, you still have to install the full game to your HDD. I'm sure this will change for the final version of GT5.
@ ConAir: Prices for downloads won't be going down any time soon. The majority of money games make are still made at retail stores. If you undercut a retailer's price, they could and most likely would take your game off their shelves.
