Its so bullshit that the online digital games are more expensive that the shops... Surely they need to rethink this? I mean why would anyone pay R200 more when they can get the disc and everything, and possibly then resell the game???

Yep. I think they're worried if they lower digital prices they'll have set a standard, and come the eventual day of discless consoles they'll get a lot of flack if they tried raising them. So as it looks now, they'll essentially be doubling their profits when discs fall away and they cut the costs involved with that. It's all about the moniez.
Look i can understand them not wanting to crush a thriving industry, i mean in SA alone BT games has grown considerably over the last few years, But in my opinion, if you have the facilities, and the hard drive space, it should be up to the consumer how we get our content, and it should be at (cant believe im about to say this) the same price. That way discs will still sell, and developers still get the money... and no one gets ripped off...
