Prices on the Store Suck!

Is it just me, or are the prices on the Xbox One store more expensive than games in shops? Valve had the right idea, Microsoft have sadly not.

Just to give a quick idea, Lego Marvel was around £50 on the store when I last checked, whereas I could pick it up in several stores for cheaper than £35. Why is a digital game more expensive than a physical copy?

Any Target Employees Here? Question.

And it's obviously not street dated because we know GameStop wouldn't sell that early. Why can't other stores be on top of this. GameStop never does sales and never price matches so it sucks when stores like BestBuy don't have stock but price match miss
out on this stuff.

 

Digital Download Revolution !

Sucks living in the UK. I can go to the US Xbox Store and download any new released game for the same price as I would pay for any new disc copy.

 

Well MS has more **** items to move them. MS runs sales every now and again. But IMO I would rather have the physical disc in my hand than digital copy any day.

 

It is a "Niche" market on consoles. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo don't want to anger their partners so an agreement is reached where by Digital Content won't be released below R.R.P on the high street. It's not a very good business practice and is delaying
the inevitable all digital sales, like Steam.

 

Digital is excellent for my options but they should be cheaper than physical. With two XboxOnes in my household and Home Gold...and Family feature, I only need to buy one digital copy of the game. Download on both Xbox's and my kids can play the same game
I'm playing at the same time on both consoles...Offline or online..... so in essence i'm getting two games for the price of one. Can't do this with physical copies of the game.

 

I can't speak for the UK, but from my experience the digital games here in the U.S. are generally the same price as the physical copies - $60 or less.
