It's not the phy
Far-Queue posted...Ive heard that the physical pressing and packaging is pretty inexpensive to manufacture, so the savings wouldnt be all that much.
Still, even if it was only a few dollars, Id be happy with that.
The packaging shouldn't matter. You're eliminating the middle man. You're going direct to customer. If anything, digital should be wholesale cost. If Amazon/Best Buy can sell a PHYSICAL copy for $45 then a digital should, at the very LEAST, be that price. Personally, I never buy anything but physical. I even broke down and purchased the physical version of Secret of Mana from Gamestop. I HATE Gamestop. I will never set foot in Gamestop. But if I must, I will buy from them online to get an exclusive physical version.
