re: Anyone else think it's total BS that it cost the same to buy

simply because the production cost is lower on a downloaded game vs. the hard copy.
again, what does production cost have to do with the market value of a good? that is only a tiny component of the total cost of this particular good. do digital music albums sell for considerably less than that same hard copy album?
the true costs of these types of goods are in the production/development not the distribution

Like I said, I would really like to see the breakdown and what cost they pass down to the consumer for the physical portion.
ETA:
And again, digital download is more valuable to the developers because it eliminates used game sales. At the end of it all, they make more money from a digitally downloaded game because it is not available to be resold.

It's a lot more than just production cocts. The logistics that go into it are costly as well. You think they deliver to the stores for free? That those truckers don't get paid?
I guess I wouldn't expect people on here to know about supply chains.
eta: stores also mark up to make a profit, so by eliminating the middle man (store), it would only be natural to assume the cost would be lower.
