digital is always cheaper than disc versions.
Almost every game eventually drops below 9.99 digitally, where 9.99 is usually about as low as retailers go when they throw it into a "bargain" bin. Sometimes you can snag a few at 5 and below but thats about it.
Digital almost always goes on sale first as well, so don't forget about that.
That’s just not true sadly. I can list out vast examples but I’ll just list a few. Trust me a majority of the time copies can be bought through 3rd party much cheaper than PS digital store. Sale prices on the digital store also usually don’t cone close to sales of used physical copies.
Few examples:
FFX - 12$ ebay 25$ PSN Store
FINAL FANTASY 14complete edition : 11$ ebay/ 60$ digital
FF XII Zodiac Age: 15$ ebay, 50$ digital.
Siege 10$ ebay / 40$ psn (and this item is on sale on PSN...)
Horzon zeri dawn: 9$ ebay, 20$ PSN
GoW 10$ ebay / 20$ PSN...
Lets go with some new games:
Ghost of Tsus: 40$ ebay BIN / 40$ best buy gamers club / 60$ psn
TLOU2: 49$ BIN ebay/ 40$ best buy gamers / 60$ psn digital.
These are simply a few OF MANY examples. So no your point is incorrect, physical is 90% of the time cheaper. This isn’t even considering the RESELL value if you are fine shipping your old games sold over amazon / ebay and getting money back after playing.
Sure, most of the games I listed above from Ebay are used copies but honestly that never bothered me and I have yet to have had an issue with any of the games I have purchased.
Digital only is simply a monopoly of the PSN store and you can always find older games you missed out on for dirt cheap. Like dark souls I never played those games are 1-3$ now but still 20$ + on psn digital.
