On Steam they seemed to go down over time.
It's just weird seeing some games on sale at Best Buy for $39.99 and then seeing the same game in the XBOX store for $59.99.
Digital games shoud be cheaper than disc games because there are no manufacturing, shipping, or retail costs. Plus, you can't re-sell them. It is unacceptable that they aren't cheaper. What's even more unacceptable, though, is the fact that they are actually more expensive: that is ludicrious. The reason is because 1. they have a monopoly on the digital store, and 2. they don't want to make retailers mad, who they badly need. The only way they'll change it is if enough people complain about it. I recommend tweeting them. You can use many of the Twitter accounts that are posted in the
#SaveXboxWP thread. We need to convince them to let third-party retailers sell digital dowload codes for games along side disc versions. That way, if a disc version goes on sale for $40, so will the digital version.
