The main advantage of digital should be that they are cheaper than physical. But, if overnight digital games would be $10-20 cheaper than physical games, this would kill the retail market. All these threads wouldn't be defending physical if they cost $10-20 more than their digital counterpart has they should. Music and Movies have all gone fully digital and it's only a matter of when not if Video games will go mostly digital. It is pretty outrageous that physical games cost are on par or sometimes cheaper then Digital games. Obviously physical games offer more value if priced the same has digital. I wouldn't pay full price for Digital games but as it stand I got a good deal on my pre-order of Witcher 3 and other good deal on deals with gold such as Forza Horizon 2 (50% off). |
Yes i would still prefer physical copy over digital if its even 30€ more expensive. I did so for a lot of older console games for example. The reason why retail games are less expensive is because the market decides, and the market ussually drop the price very quick as they have to get rid of the stuff for new games. Digital can make unlimited amount of copies without any logistic problems
