There’s been a fair few times I’ve bought digital PS games elsewhere for cheaper than on the store and you just get a code to download the game.
Sony generally sells consoles at very small/no profit so I do worry this could be a “careful what you wish for” situation.

About time. PlayStation has been price gouging on their store for decades.

The shift to digital is a problem and one reason I haven’t bought the next model console(always preferred owning physical games as something to touch for the money spent).
Prices are an issue, and I hope this case helps address that issue for people here in their day to day lives.

Digital being more expensive than disc doesn’t bother me so much, it’s always up and down, sometimes cheaper sometimes not, you can also see it with movies, kindle books etc.
What does bother me is publishers, of all those materials, going ah yeah $1 USD = £1 GBP right? Sure, close enough. 1/3 markup for the privilege of not using the almighty dollar.

Can we add in a case for an almost complete and utter lack of customer servicing and an extremely unfair refunds policy?

Ive never got why people prefer digital to disc (when available). Like yeah you maybe able to play the game a little bit quicker by downloading it but its hardly a deal breaker.
Amazon offer next day or even same day delivery, and ive bought games at say £60 and traded them in after completing for £25-30 cash. When you can get nearly half your money back why wouldnt you buy disc?

Is it really a closed system?
