cheaper.....


i mean if the retail is $60 vs $40... i would very much likely to buy the digital esp if it doesnt have collection value for me

With Best Buy's GCU all the $60 games are $45. I realize though, that not everybody lives in the U.S. and can take advantage of this. Aren't physical games $100 in Australia due to taxes? 

Australia prices vary from business to business.for a big third party game/first party game,  100 is the maximum for a standard copy but it can go for as cheap as 64 at launch. 

Department stores- Kmart, Target and Big W sells brand new games at launch for 64 bucks, usually lasts 1-3 days but then it goes up to around 80. 

Electronic stores- JB Hi-Fi is around 80-90 at launch

Dedicated game store- EB Games- 90-100 at launch 

JB and EB does price matching- if you use the department store promotions they’ll match it and you can snap up a new game for 64 :)

 

Edit- taxes are included in the price for everything in Australia, so what ever you see on the shelves/online/digitally is exactly the same price at the checkout because tax is already included.
