I've been looking for Diablo 3 on PS4 and it's either seeming out of stock or still £45 everywhere (I'm waiting 'til it's £20 to buy it). Now considering it's out of print, seemingly, it's also going to be hard to find. Well for £20 anyway. I thought to myself, "I know, I could get it via download, I'm sure it'll be cheap by now on the store and don't have a disc etc blah blah". £60? Jesus, no thanks.
Anyway, as long as digital prices remain high, stocks of games remain low, I'm going to by used. Better pricing on digital and used will occur less.
Also, on the idea of customers buying used then using resources like servers, remember that the original owner is no longer playing the game so the new customer is just using the original customer's space on the server. Plus they also might have the potential for buying DLC if they like it while the original customer won't, they didn't like the game after all.
Hmm, pie.
