Digital, is it really worth the aggravation?

hmm, yet your profile says you're from Ireland? I know for sure that digital prices are a great deal more expensive in the UK, and I've seen people say the same is true for other European countries too. Does that not apply in Ireland?

Could be that the game shops near me are shite.

Bioshock the collection is currently on sale for €24 from psn, CEX and gamestop are offering the title pre owned only atm here both for around €50

Sure it's a title on sale, but the great thing when it comes to using psn over somewhere that deals in pre owned stuff is while I'm paying less for the game, absolutely zero of the €50 for the pre owned title at CEX/Gamestop goes to the developers of the game, so all I'd be doing would be paying the wages of staff there.

Just with my own buying habits at least I find digital to be a lot cheaper for me, both in terms of title availability and cost.

Got the retail version last week for 18€ from Saturn.

That's why I prefer physical. For every digital sale, I can find a physical version on sale that's even cheaper (95% of the time). Thus, I only own very few digital games that aren't indies.
