[QUOTE="Sonic Angel Knight, post: 7344410, member: 391856"] Really not into this kind of thing. If i go to the store to buy a game, then i better be getting a game, not a code. Is like buying soda from wendys. "Give me dr.pepper." *Hands me empty cup* Okay so i have to fill it up myself? O_O (Yes is dumb and i know it) Still As much as i like to have cart of games, i don't mind downloading them as well. Just there is some problems i do not understand. [LIST] [*]Why do the price of a download game cost the same as retail? Does it cost just as much to print all those disc/carts as it does to be downloaded on system? [/LIST] One problem is I am setsuna is $40 as a DOWNLOAD ONLY game on switch. I never seen a download only game cost that much before. O_O Just to be fair there is only good and bad for the current situation. [LIST] [*]Download games don't "Run out of copies" So is not a problem to get a chance to play the game. [*]Download games require storage space which you would need to buy more of if you run out.
