That sounds like a fair arguement.. Is that statistic for general population or people that play games within the general population? I dont have much knowledge in that area but how many people really play games anyway?

As sad as it sounds, it doesn't really make sense to have physical copies of media anymore. Economically, it costs a lot to design, produce, manufacture and transport the disks, boxes and manuals when the product can be distributed over the Internet without any of these issues.

You say that, but I bet they wouldn't sell the games for any cheaper (Why would they when they know people paid £40 before?).

If I had the choice between a £40 physical game or a £40 download game, I'd choose the physical one.

Well depending what costs are for the supplies to create everything for the disc to come with.. It should be worth a little less if you ask me. Sure, a big company like Microsoft might not lower prices but I was thinking more along the lines of a what if.. If I could pay a one time fee for a console that was strictly digital media but the console was worth more and the games less, I just might make that investment. I dont know what your standing is with xbox 360 or anyone else for the matter but in my experience discs and lasers have been a real burden. Prices in general for new games are already outrageous.. 100-120$ for 2 games that just came out.. And the price of failing hardware as an addition.. Pretty bogus.
