Buy it from Shopto then and you won't have to pay postage.

If they really want to test the water with this they should be putting Thief or Titanfall on at £34.99 at release... this is just a sale on a 4mnth old game that anyone who really wanted it would already have as far as I'm concerned.

They are
very unlikely to sell Titanfall for that price.

EA aren't known for digital bargains. The PC versions of Titanfall are both priced at £44.99, regardless of whether you download or buy it on disc.

Hmmmm. £35 was wishful thinking. it £37.59.

Let me know when it's down to £30.....

If you scratch a disc and it won't play you are left with nothing. A digital download is always yours and cannot be scratched and broken. +++ You don't need to keep swapping discs over to play games.

Bought Tomb Raider on DD and although I swore never to buy DD again because I can't trade-in I'm now thinking maybe I'll buy everything DD from now on as it's just so easy to change games without looking for a disc each time.

I have a few XBox Videos too and I can watch these on a PC anywhere with Internet which is great for watching at/with friends.

^ I agree that its really easy to just swap between digital releases, beats moving out the chair any day of the week! Yes Im a lazy old sod!

I don't think I have ever scratched a disk to a point where it doesn't work. I prefer disks to downloads mainly due to the re-sale option I have with it. Although, if pricing does become more attractive to me for digital then hopefully I will start leaning
towards them more.

It's now dropped £4 since yesterday?

Did anyone buy at £37.59 only to find it dropped another 11%

What are they doing?

I think it was always meant to be the cheaper price but there was a mistake with the pricing with both US and UK. Hopefully those who paid more get a credit.

Majikthise · Feb 19, 2014

Well I've gone for it. I don't really trade games in (by the time I'm finished with them they are normally worthless anyway)

I want to go digital so I hope they continue to offer some sort of discount (especially on new releases)

I wonder if it will download it self while I'm at work?

Sadly not, I have asked about remote downloading and this doesn't seem to be an option yet on Xbox One
