Missing Games on Demand

This was the first time I heard of 2 or more disc based games don't get digitally release.

"There are numerous 360 games that require several discs, but have digital versions that work without issues."

Oh? I wouldn't know the reason, then.

Perhaps it isn't worth it at this point - these guys do their research, after all.

I have found it strange that some of these really good games such as the ones you listed not being available digitally to be confusing.

I do think any game that is released show have a digital release as well. This does seem to be the case for Xbox One at the moment.

Kanaye is right. The reason these titles aren't available digitally is because they require two discs. PlayStation uses Blu-ray, which has superior storage, whereas the Xbox 360 does not.

Pretty sure that's still not the reason the games aren't available digitally on 360. You will notice the trend is a majority of EA games. Wouldn't surprise me if the 360 platform was a testbed for the one-time use online/used game codes EA were rolling out
at the time. Along with laziness.

BF3 and 4 are available digitally on PSN. GTAV on both 360 and PS3 had the exact same issues with assets and texture loading, indeed the 360 version had higher frame rates than the PS3 in the Digital Foundry comparisons. The 360 version was two discs obviously,
PS3 one, and the digital versions performed identically.

CoD AW is two discs on 360, yet is available digitally on 360. Activision and 2K/Rockstar can do the digital versions without issues. But for whatever reason EA didn't bother. Maybe they thought they could reap more cash from online code sales as opposed
to Xbox Store sales. Or maybe they just wanted to see the analytics for those used-game codes on a platform. Who knows...

What we do know is... a majority of EA games, huge franchises: Mass Effect 2 and 3, Battlefield 3 and 4, Dead Space 2 and 3 etc. - lack digital versions on the 360. For probably rubbish reasons. {=|
