Odd. Good thing I kept on buying digital, then :p (Gaming)

I'd like to, but I'm not going to pay $60 for a more than year old game that I can pick up for $17 on a disc.

Not a big deal, really, but I just don't understand Sony's (and Microsoft's) line of thought on this one. I don't personally know anyone that wants digital bad enough to make that decision, and I can't imagine there's that many "casual" gamers with consoles that would fall for that con.

Here's a couple of reasons:

1. As a digital retailer, you don't have to worry about clearing shelf-space/inventory, unlike physical retail.
2. Some bean-counter did the math and determined that X number of people will still buy the game at Y price, So they still make enough profit to justify it.
