Sony on the other hand doesn't seem to understand this (or does, and just wants to rip you off). All games on PSN that could also be purchased physically are way more expensive to download. The profit on those games must be immense. Take Assassin's Creed Revelations- on PSN (actually, it's SEN now isn't it?) the game can be downloaded without a box, disk or manual for the low low price of £59.99. Alternatively, go to a shop and buy it for 20 quid.
I can fully understand people preferring a boxed product. I would always choose a physical copy over digital, perhaps the main reason knowing that it is mine. With a download, (not sure how it works on XBox) you only get 5 copies. As in, if your PS3s break/are stolen, and you've used all 5 downloads, you've got to pay again.

Yes but do you know why that is? It's because games companies don't make any money from pre-owned games. So everythings going digital, so pre-owned games will sort of phase out, (consequently, Game and Gamestation are going down). Sony want to make sure they're getting all the money they can possibly squeeze out of people, because psn or whatever its called is almost all yhe money they're making out of games.
