People complaining about the fact that digital copies cost the same when they don’t need to manufacture discs and booklets etc. are forgetting one thing necessary for digital distribution…

BANDWIDTH CHARGES

Publishers still have to pay distribution channels like PSN, LIVE and Steam to distribute the content digitally and while it might be less, it’s likely not cheap either and they have to pay them for each copy that someone purchases and downloads. These costs are passed on to you. That’s how it works.

Digital copies are there more for your convenience of storage and portability… not for price. Internet bandwidth is ridiculously controlled and going digital involves downloading gigs of data that comes out of your monthly bandwidth allowance. Not only will Digital copies cost the same as physical, if you’re looking to do this regularly then you’re going to have to look into your upping you internet bill too…

Digital Distribution is convenient but costly. Maybe in the future it’ll be better, but for the time being it’s certainly not.

Even though publishers don’t like it, secondary game sales are a real an actual part of a games value for all gamers. We sell old games we don’t want anymore or didn’t like to begin with and factor that in to a games value.

Publishers think they will just pocket the difference and we wont notice or care and tough-for-you anyways. But they are wrong.. if we can’t resell digital games they are most definitely worth less.

As already pointed out, there are other costs ie. bandwidth but it there are enough adopters then the price should fall as they buy bandwidth in bigger bulk.

Not with PSP you can’t. Only on PS3. The PSP games only work on one handheld.
