If for some reason you don't want to buy directly from the store that you have to go to anyway to get the game, there are still $X PSN cards to purchase. They are just doing away with the cards for specific games. To me this may be a response to people pissed that they bought a $60 game card, but the game goes on sale in the store for $50. People are probably complaining to Sony, wanting that $10 back. |
Its not a odd response, its a odd business decision because why would you remove digital codes when it offers another form for purchasing games or maybe they just want to boast more about there physical media sales by cutting out the cards which I don't believe count as a game sale.. not entirely to sure with that.
My point is if there planning on making gaming stores obsolete than it would make sense to just remove all media from the stores and start making your customers buy online. Because right now it feels like they are on the fence with weather or not they support digital or physical. I doubt game cards is costing the company big. Heck Xbox this generation isn't making as much money as PS yet they still offer the options.
