  1. Digital game release and price


    I am planning on buying titanfall on release day. But I ONLY want a digital copy - i hate disks. Will it be available for download on release?

    Also, why are the digital games costing the same amount as disk based? Isnt the whole point of digital to save us money?

    :)

    Why should I buy an XB1 ?

    When the games in the UK haven't got release dates, they are listed upto £54, however the prices go down towards the release date, so while they can be listed at higher prices they generally aren't sold for that amount in the UK.

    www.gamestop.co.uk/.../tom-clancys-the-division

    This is very likely to drop the nearer it gets to launch.

    However Digital games on the other hand the prices have increased, and in the US there is no price difference between physical and digital, however in the UK the digital price is much higher than physical.

  3. Digital game prices need to come down!

    That's why digital is good for them, they can charge the same price and not worry about spending money on cases, manuals etc. The good thing about digital games is that they do eventually go down in price due to sales and lowering down the price. We will
    continue to see $60 new release games in the digital marketplace, because this is the future we're going to get.

  4. Digital game release and price

    The whole point of digital is so they make more money so that's why the price will stay the same. So far all the games at retail have came to digital that day. I for one wont be getting Titanfall I just can't get behind buying a multiplayer only game...See
    Shadowrun. No single player campaign no thanks.

    The cost of a disc is minimal to developers and publishers so seeing a big discount would not be passed onto the gamers

  7. I have quite a bit of credit on my account but can't justify spending so much on a digital download at the moment and rather see what the supermarkets/on-line prices will be before purchasing. 9/10 they are cheaper than RRP. Guess my credit is going to be
    used for DLC.

    Where are you guys getting this information from?

    I've only seen two games modes announced....

    Hardpoint - BF4 conquest basically, teams must control certain areas

    Attrition - Story based escort mode but still requires other players, Brink is best example of this type of gameplay.

  12. I would also love to go digital only, but as long as the disc version is cheaper I will go that way. I'm not on about used games.

    Digital game release and price

    Haha. You guys think you have it bad. I'm in Australia and the games online are actually a lot more expensive than buying a hard copy. I seen some that's were $25 more than what I paid at the shop. Even when our dollar was worth more than the US dollar we
    were still paying up to $100 dollars for games in some shops. It's out of control!

    As EternalDragonX said, "The whole point of digital is so they make more money so that's why the price will stay the same.". Now as soon as companies can convince the populace on going "disc-less", you can expect digital prices to rise; though I believe
    there are others that would strongly disagree with that.

    >

    Discs are just about useless for games now anyway if Forza is any indication. 6Gb download just to play it, not to mention the two sizable patches since December. I have no patience for downloads; the reason I stopped playing World Of Tanks was that it seemed
    to want a 2.8Gb patch every couple days. I don't see myself buying a lot of games with this generation of systems. Titanfall, Fallout 4, and MAYBE Black Ops 3.

    >

    These new systems are like P.C.s...I stopped gaming on computers years ago. Maybe it's time to find another hobby.

    Peace, J.R.

  15. Thanks all. I hope that the digital version is out on release day. As far as titanfall being only multiplayer - it is only always online. While multiplayer is a huge aspect there is a storyline that will be online and maybe co-op...at least from what ive
    ready. Either way Im getting it.

    As far as prices, I just wish it was more like steam. I think online should be cheaper as I am helping the gaming companies out by not selling used games. Even $5 would make me feel better but have of the games are already like $10 cheaper on amazon then
    the digital download and it bugs me.
