| torok said: Most reports we see put digital at 10 to 15% for retail games indeed. So it's probably a reasonably accurate data. Mind that a lot of people don't have great internet connections or have data caps and most games are over 30 GB. Retail also allows you to resell the game and you get a nice boxed game. It's also easier to delete games to make room for new ones since you can just pop the older disc to reinstall it instead of downloading it again. As retails and digital prices are basically the same, I don't see a lot of advantages in going digital only since you're losing a part of the ownership over the product. |
Yh, all true.
I'm all digital. Though thats more due to nessecity than a preference. Where i Live i literally have to import everything. So buying a gsme off amazon would go like this. Game release> Buy at $60 and ship to forwarding address> ship from there to the carribeans +$8 (2 days) > pay 60% on duties and tax + $30+> get my game home.
So every game will cost me around $90-$100 by the time it's all said and done and even if I buy on launch day I still end up getting the game at least 3-7 days later.
With digital, I just pay the $60 and even preload the game so it becomes available to play the second it's launched.
