How in the world is it cheaper in the long run?



Disc copies of the games drop in price much faster than Digital.

And you can trade them in

Shuhei Yoshida posted a screenshot on twitter that demons souls remake is €80 😳

Surely this can't be the new norm for video game prices.

But I don't have to get up and switch discs.

US prices are always excluding sales tax.

You're totally right on that - at least at retail. I had completely forgotten they still do the "magic trick" of applying taxes at the till over there.

Nothing showing for click and collect for digital version in any store.

Thank you. Order placed.

Ordered from Smyths but got cancelled 2 mins later.

Wing126

I put my name down for one in Smyths now anyway. Still not totally sure if I want one on launch so will decide closer to the day haha

Pre ordered the disc version from smyths just now, hopefully I will get one on launch day.

Ordered from smyths but no email yet? seems like credit card went through - got email!

CastorTroy

Will preorder an decide later. I know it's a crap thing to do, but I hope they give more info closer the time.

As for digital vs physical, the main advantage is options. Can buy digital if I want. Plus, like I said before, handy for doing up your Santa list instead of asking for vouchers.

shrewdness

I don't suppose there's a way of pre-ordering with Smyths but paying off with One4All vouchers in the meantime? I presume if you're preordering online, you just have to do it with your card?

Pre ordered from Smyths, nice one, got it for delivery!

Thanks for the heads up! Had been refreshing but somewhat figured it had passed so left it be.

The importance of this is understated:D

When I do buy I'll get the disc version for insurance but will be using key sites and PSN global region stores to get digital for as cheap as possible when possible!

Confirmed: order from Smyths.

Also confirmed: signing up for their PS5 mailing list meant jack ****.

Got confirmation from Smyth's

As in you got an email saying it was cancelled?

DeadWeight

Does the preorder confirmation email mean I'm good? First time with Smyths I noticed my card statement saying "€0 rejected" or am I fooked

ryanmatty

Just did click and collect on smyths also, bad form not sending out communication before putting them up.
