  2. Microsoft Considering Making Digital Games Cheaper

    I'd rather just buy a sixty-dollar game than a forty-dollar digital. Or just wait for the physical copy to go on sale. Most of the digital games I have bought digital have been ten dollars or less--save for some arcade titles.

  3. Download digital version question..

    I only buy digital when their is a 50 - 80% sale on, which isn't often. I've seen 3 year old games that were still listed on XBMP for 50 bucks just for the game. DLC extra.

    ROTTR was the only game I wanted for the X1, so the day after I bought my X1 (BF sale at WW) they had ROTTR for 34.88 So it's cheaper, even for New release games to go with physical media.

    Another advantage of physical is that if you want to go from one game to another. It at least forces you to get off of your backside from time to time, which in and of itself. Can save your life.

    Case in point.. One gamer died after setting for long periods and a clot formed in his leg. So physical does have added health benifits over digital.

    Full DLC characters found on SFxT disc

    @ lol, I think they will, actually. Probably not right away but maybe 2-3 years into next gen. Publishers would like nothing more than all digital distribution. That would cut out huge costs in manufacturing and distribution, plus would eliminate used
    game sales. It's coming. Think about it, when's the last time you bought a physical audio cd?... And when's the last time you bought something from iTunes?

    [/quote]Digital Distribution as the only source or buying games will not a be a reality until next century. It will only ever be an alternative. Going to this method as the only option in the next 10-15 years will cut their consumer base in half or more
    even. As for itunes. I have never bought a thing off itunes. Probably never will.

    3 weeks almost a million sold

    you have to take into account.... and I know it was said above... those are only retail discs bought inside the USA... those number DO NOT count the digital sales from XB1.. the digital sales for PC, the Bumndles.... And only 1 week of XB360...

    Who says Xbox can't do sales?

    I am sorry but year old games going on sale for one day is not how digital will take off. I love how most stores have sales on their new games after a few weeks for $35 and MS will put a game on XBL 6 months later for full price. For digital to fully take
    off they will have to have the games day one for $10 to $15 less than physical copies.

    Purchased digital copy, only to have it go on sale via Games with Gold next day. Is it possible to get difference refunded?

    You would have to contact support and speak to billing, but generally they don't give partial refunds. 1-800-4my-xbox if you're in the US/Canada or
