I've been buying games digitally for about 3 generations and I've found the pricing across all game stores to be the same or cheaper than buying physical on balance. But I don't ever pay full price for a game and I use tracking websites.
- InCityDreams 3y ago>I've been buying games digitally for about 3 generations Of people, cars, or - i presume, games: but how are the generations defined? Sorry, not a gamer and never heard such a phrase.
- Kapura 3y agoConsole generations; Playstation 5 is a generation after Playstation 4, with Playstation 3 before that. There are rough equivalents on the Nintendo and Xbox side, but Playstation numbering makes generation identification easier.
- costanzaDynasty 3y agoYup. Using playstation as the spine its a little easier though not complete to base console generations off of. When I think ps1: Sega Saturn, and a few others. Ps2 has Dreamcast, Xbox, Gamecube. Ps3 has 360 and Wii etc. Though there is a chance that this will be the last generation of this and that there will be universal platforms instead of consoles for at least Xbox and probably Playstation. Why make a console that I lose money on when I can sell you a $100 controller and a subscription to our cloud service instead.
- UberMouse 3y agoFWIW I have the opposite experience, I never buy digital playstation games unless I'm forced to because they all sell for MSRP in New Zealand ($129/$139 NZD), whereas I can always get them physically for $99/$109 brand new. I would much prefer to buy digital games, but I'm not paying an extra $30 for the privilege of saving someone _else_ money
