MS Store rediculously overpriced (I know you probably don't care MS)

Why are you guys overpricing the stuff on Xlive? I've ran into multiple situations where the same thing on Live was available from Gamestop or Amazon for 40-50% off. This is ridiculous without the costs associated with the physical disk, shipping and packaging
they should be the same or cheaper. I know you'll come back with we don't set the pricing(BS you sign the code and distribute it you could easily make a contractual obligation that allows you to set the price to the lowest price you can find at retail). Extremely
disappointing that I have to check if you guys are trying to rip me off before I purchase a game on X1. Also I hate the physical disks they are a pain as you have to find them I would not buy them going forward if you would price fairly on X1.

Have you guy heard of Halo 3: ODST ‘Campaign Edition’

Ahh...I figured it would be a digital download thing...

EDIT: Gotta love the "digital future." Overpriced versions of stripped games- does MS know people can find full versions of ODST at lower prices in most retail stores?

 

The prices on the Xbox store are largely decided by the publishers, not Microsoft, who typically leave them at MSRP as long as possible. Retail stores only have to cover their cost so they have more room to change their prices.
