    I would love that D33dles. I would pay extra to get both a digital and physical like with movies. The only issue right now for games that I see is that game sharing thing. A digital game can be played on 2 consoles. The home by someone and on a non-home
    by the owner. With the digital-physical combo I could buy that and have 3 people use it. Then again, it costs more. So they are making extra money up front. So they are making more initially. I would do that for some games. I think the Division would
    be one. I would easily pay $90 for a physical/digital combo because of this.

    EnenDaveyBoy you have to wait for deals. I got AC Unity when it was still new for €9.00. I got Metal Gear Solid 5 on sale for €20.

    Cdkeys.com sell Xbox live up to 70% off every few weeks.

    oh xbox live on cdkeys, no disputing that, and I am not saying they don't have good deals, what I am saying is its not often, and they aren't always cheapest.

    The witcher 3 goes up and down in value, but has been cheaper in the xbox store than it ever has been on cdkeys.

    Are those deals digital and where from? Although AC unity hasn't exactly been well received MGS5 more so.

    Nope Microsoft have no competition and a lot of people are downloading new releases and are happy to pay the high price. Maybe some of the older games towards to the end of the console life cycle will be discounted as it is on Xbox 360's marketplace right
    now. Most older digital games retail $30.00 AUD on the Xbox 360. I'm guessing less in the US and UK.

    Yes, it does suck to lose the Internet for a long time. A few year ago some lads come racing past in their cars, one of them decided to roll his car into a neighbour's garden and take the telegraph pole with him, BT were quick to come and put a new pole
    up but we suffered constant down times for 6 weeks. Eventually after many phone calls they found the problem.... The car hitting the pole had stretched and split wires right down the road, so any moisture and rain got into the wires and killed the phone and
    broadband connection.... It was a nightmare.

  9. What I don't get is why are 7 year old games still going for $30 on the marketplace? Modern Warfare 2 for example is still $30. Really? Are enough people still buying MW2 for $30 to justify it still being that much? Maybe so? You can get the PC version for
    $11. I can almost guarantee MS would make more money on older games if they cut their prices in half. I'm curious how many of the forumfielders here would buy a lot more older games if they were in the $10 range. I know I would. The way I would look at it
    is it's $10, no big deal if I don't like it, it's $10. I even bought Titanfall for $5 during the Christmas sale just to check it out. I have to admit though Titanfall is slowly growing on me.

    @D33dles, how's that shelf of yours holding up? ;P

    ...with digital, it takes up no more physical space than your internal/external HDD requires. ;)
    Shelf is fine...only have 6 discs taking up space; I have more digital than disc. ;-) Games that I beat and have no intention of playing again get sold/traded/given away; can't do that with digital.

    The only thing that irritates me personally about digital is it can be taken. I have a few 360 games that will not re-install. Once the hdd bit the dust I tried to re-install and they were removed. I have lost some music a few times. And some
    other digital items (games, music, movies) have been lost. Nothing too major but it does highlight that a company can remove my purchased item (I know, I do not own it) but with disc I can still play. Still will by digital but I am careful with it.
    I've lost music, video, and games, because of licensing changing. Most of it was 99 cent purchases, so no big deal; would not be happy if they were $60 purchases.

    Personally would like the option of purchasing a digital copy with a disc like movies. I do like the convenience of digital and bought digital licenses to 2 of my six games when they went on sale. $60 for the Borderlands:The Handsome Collect disc and another
    $24 for the license; could see paying $100 for some games that came that way.

    Peace, J.R.

    Whats even more interesting is how Edge will often crash when trying to use Google as opposed to Bing Via X1

    Digital prices do not drop, especially when YOU have a Monopoly. True you can often get dgames a little cheaper from cd keys etc. But unless I miss my guess, like XBMP. It's just every so often to once in a blue moon, is it not?
