Does the PSN store operate on alternate ...

I find it outrageous that digital downloads of games, are in fact much more expensive than hard copies. Army of two - not that i want to buy it - costs ?2 in the UK, something like $45, while in online stores you can find it for ?7, around $25. And i have seen many other similar cases. If anything, you would imagine the lack of packaging, storage, distribution etc etc would reduce the price by at least 30%!Does the PSN store operate on alternate ...

some games are hard to find and some are only on psn, but it is basically a rip off.

I got to pay 100 dollars for a psp game on my country....so the store always is cheaper
Well here in Canada we pay $49.99 at Gamestop/EBgames on PSN its $39.99 guess why i have a GO?...
it's pretty much the same for any digital distribution service... it's a great deal if you live in a country w/ ridiculous game prices, but for most major markets it's always cheaper to buy retail.
Bargain bin is what PSN store lacks.
[QUOTE=''Sulapukan'']Bargain bin is what PSN store lacks.[/QUOTE]Being a Go owner I am fine with the PSN. But yes, I agree with this. Some really old games (and sometimes crappy games) on the PSN are overpriced except for Guilty Gear: Judgement for $5.99! Bargan bin would be awesome.
