    My pre-order from Dick Smith cost roughly the same ($54.98) over a year ago and that was for physical copy with shipping included. Why is this still so expensive?

    • +2

      Digital is often more expensive because they don't want to undercut the disc version. So they sell it at RRP and then discount when there's a very good chance they wont annoy their retailers.

      Personally I own 1 game on disc, and that's Lego Dimensions as it is the only way you can get it. These days I'm happy to wait for a game to be available on the cheap digitally. That being said, I bought GTA V months ago on Xbox One for about $40.

      • Where I hope to be one day, got half a dozen Xbox One games left on disc, and a bit more Wii U (which will be harder). Lego Dimension will inevitably be left in the collection, annoyingly. PS4 I am full digital now.

        • Wish PS4 would support playing games off an external HDD via the 2 USB ports. 2TB makes it a bit hard to go fully digital. Haven't tried this but instead of deleting the game installation file on the PS4 HDD, can you copy it on to an external HDD to free up space and copying it back on to the PS4, instead of downloading it?

        • @Innamura:
          I'm quietly confident you can't at all…. basically encountered this problem upgrading from the 500gb to a 2TB, hoping to shift things over.

          What makes it worse is you can't install of a Disc too, you need to download it regardless. Really wish Sony got their downloading act together, mind you it's better than the PS3, marginally.

        • @scuderiarmani: I upgraded my hdd to a 2tb and had no issues copying my old downloaded games 350GB worth from my external drive.

        • @smarter_fool:
          Maybe it was the PS3 was impossible too, unless they added the functionality later on, no idea…

        • @smarter_fool: Thanks guys, interesting. This would be a good way to cut download times and store games you would like to play at a later date.

  • Wont let me submit this deal for some reason :-S but here's some housekeeping :)

  • +2

    I've been waiting for the game to go cheap before I buy it. The wait continues.

  • Wasn't this game $20 during the dick smith gaming sale?

    • +1

      Yep, but good luck finding a copy when it was.

      I have this on XBOX 360. Want to get it on PS4, but damned if I'm paying >$50 for it!
