If they go completely digital it'll be a hard sell to get games retailers to stock them. However I hope they do as it'll lead to a much more profitable industry.

Retailer profits arn't counted as industry profits?

Here in Australia RRP for most Xbox 360/PS3 games is around $US100.  Accounting for taxes and scale economies, they can probably justify $US80 to be considered fair for me.  

Games are already overpriced.  Remove the need for retailer profit/distribution/packaging? Along with my benefits like second hand reselling and physical ownership?  I wouldn't feel anything over $US45 for a new high-budget title was justifiable.
