Playstation Store Prices are Extortionate

With the rapid increase in broadband speeds and its increasing availability over the years, the use of online content delivery seems like a natural progression. Both Sony’s Playstation Store and Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace offer this, albeit a version limited in the content you can download, with few full retail games available to download.

Both downloading and purchasing from retailers each have their own advantages and disadvantages and gamers will have polarised opinions about the future of purchasing video games but judging by the current state of the Playstation Store (although the same applies to the Xbox Marketplace) retailers have one key advantage at this moment in time: price.
