What do we think on this? They say it will bring down costs but whose ours or theirs??

They always use cost as the excuse...

First they say digital games will reduce the cost of physical, which they lied about.

Think it's just the wanting to kill the second-hand market.

It kills the second hand market, it reduces costs, it also provides more control. However the Xbox news of putting a disc in means you own a digital license without a disc HOPEFULLY will make Sony rethink the nonsense idea

To add to this, it reduces there cost. However games haven't really risen in cost in line with inflation (thankfully)

With how big games are costs are higher, but fully digital hopefully means they can keep costs similar(although I doubt it)

TBH I am in 2 minds on this. Yes it's a shame but I don't know many people that buy the disks and just download them. It will kill the used game market though which will do more damage than people think. Ive been digital since 2013 when the Xbox One game out and I don't regret it in the slightest.

Places like cex have been slowly moving to retro games anyway. I've also noticed they now sell chargers and such to boost profits.

All that will happen in the second hand market is it will be purely retro focused and no doubt drive the prices up on old content

For sure... I'm gonna invest in a modded GameCube before the price hike happens!

Price hikes will happen

Rims will be a life saver though, easy enough to load up and play mobile or TV
