Depends where you live as well. In Taiwan I find that I never get the deep discounts on physical games which I became accustomed to in Canada. Prices seem to remain at the $40 level for about three years. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is about CDN$55 new, still. It’s on sale in the Xbox store for about $20.
I have an xbox one and I rarely buy new games. Once every three months, I get an offer to try Gamepass for a dollar.
Selection can be an issue as well. I was in the local game store yesterday and they didn’t have a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2. I already have it but it’s kind of funny that I couldn’t buy a physical copy here of one of the biggest selling games if I wanted to.
For me, saving $100 on a digital-only console isn’t such a terrible purchase.
- Loranubi 6y agoLiving in Taiwan as well, and physical PS4 games are much cheaper after some time. I buy most of my games at around 500-600 NTD (17 to 20 USD). But PS4 (and Switch) seems to be much more popular here than Xbox, so that might be a reason.
- kinghtown 6y agoYeah, in many ways I wish I got the PS4 instead, especially because of where we are living. The Xbox exclusives weren’t that great compared to PS4 and the people out here seem to strongly agree which is why it is unpopular. I do think it’s a much cheaper system to own. The Xbox store is very generous. Three free games each month (half the time they are pretty good ones) plus gamepass is a really good deal. I had a Switch last year but sold it. The Nintendo store would be a very distant third in the generosity department.
