Im not really seeing any good prices so far - when you think how incredibly cheap games often are on the Canadian store when on sale these prices seem a little steep to me.

Ooh, £30 on Amazon, a whole penny saved!
Get PSN credit for a good price and they become cheaper still, below the Amazon price in fact. I'm just trying to share a little info that might be helpful to some people. |

Tomb Raider was 25 on amazon last week which to be fair is worth paying a few extra quid to get a physical edition.

Yes, compared to the disc. But for people that are digital-only (as an increasing number are) these deals represent significant savings over the usual selling price.

Anyway I'm not necessarily passing judgement on the savings I was just monitoring what the savings represent in real terms next to the physical copy. My original assertion was that these "mega sales" on PSN were actually just bringing the digital price down to physical disc prices. I'm largely digital-only but won't buy at hugely inflated PSN prices. Which usually means I only buy in sales. |

Why are digital prices so expensive. Considering its download only so no physical case, artwork, disk you d think they would be cheaper. If same price might as well just buy a physical copy.
If games on the PSN were cheaper than at retail, the retail stores would stop selling games and stop selling the hardware. Sony (same for MS and Nintendo) need retailers to sell their consoles and retailers will in turn sell the games as profit margins are greater in software than hardware. In the past retailers have removed stock from shop floors (happened in August 2007 when Warhawk launched 50% cheaper on the PSN) and refused to stock consoles when they cannot profit from software sales (the digital only PSP Go). |

Purchased Rise of the Tomb Raider on the 1st sale, great price imo and superb game so far, Hoping for Mafia 3 & Deus Ex Mankind Divided to pop up in the 12 sales, think my GF may be buying me Dues Ex Mankind Divided as she's seen it for £20 on Amazon, don't think psn sale would be as cheap as that anyway, gutted about Dishonored 2, payed full price last week as a very rare full price digital treat.

The purpose of the gaming digital market place is not to undercut the retailer, it is for convenience.
If games on the PSN were cheaper than at retail, the retail stores would stop selling games and stop selling the hardware. Sony (same for MS and Nintendo) need retailers to sell their consoles and retailers will in turn sell the games as profit margins are greater in software than hardware. In the past retailers have removed stock from shop floors (happened in August 2007 when Warhawk launched 50% cheaper on the PSN) and refused to stock consoles when they cannot profit from software sales (the digital only PSP Go). The PSP Go was an experiment, and a failed one at that. It released in 2009, before faster broadband speeds, and was a niche console in a niche market. Retailers such as GAME and HMV are already clinging on by a thread. The idea that they would impose further losses on themselves by refusing to stock mass selling consoles and games is absolutely laughable. PC games are still stocked despite Steam essentially cornering that market. I do understand that a balance has to be struck, but I don't think anyone is asking for massive cuts here. I would be perfectly happy if the digital copy simply matched the physical, or was only a few quid out. Even if the shoe was on the other foot and digital was cheaper than physical, I would still mostly go for physical, simply due to trade-in potential. I do believe that digital trade-ins will be the next big development in gaming retail. It's a game of chicken at the minute as to who will start it first. |

^^ See I don't think we'll ever see a digital trade in system. I see why no reason why Sony, MS etc would give you money back on digital games. iTunes doesn't give you money back for songs you got bored of listening to.
And you might say "they'll implement it to combat the physical used market". But digital game sales are growing year on year. I believe digital to take up 60%ish of all game sales, so every year the pool of physical used games gets smaller and smaller. If Sony, MS can hold out a few more years (say 2020), physical game sales might only take up 20% of the market. Then they can charge whatever they want for the games and save so much money from cutting out manufacturing costs and so many middle men. I just don't see it happening. |

But it doesn't have to be MS or Sony giving you the money, if there was a trade system where you can sell your digital games to other gamers, you can set the price etc then I think that could work.

Got £25 PSN credit for £22.32. Buying Skyrim leaves me with £2.01 credit.
So... I essentially got the game for £20.31, which is pretty decent in itself. This game had better be as good as you all say it is now... lol |
