@seppli: Hey man, I don't appreciate the assumption that I'm an idiot that haven't browsed digital markets before. So to provice some actual numbers;
Watch_Dogs PSN Digital Deluxe Edition: 719 SEK
Warch_Dogs PSN Classic Edition: 639 SEK
Watch_Dogs as a retail disc: 535 SEK
As said, it's cheaper here to go disc. And searching for Destiny on the PSN marketplace only reveales the preorder one at 704 SEK which retails at 599 SEK (including beta access). So there you have it. Again. The only time PSN is even remotely close to regular retail prices is Killzone Shadow Fall. There it's cheaper than some places, but still not the cheapest alternative. I am not really sure why this is, but that's the way it is.
Ahjo - I guess it's varies depending on country. Maybe Sweden has some kind of protective tax on digitally distributed games - or Sweden's PSN dudes are just behind the curb in comparison to other places.
Generally what happens in most places is that retailers cut prices in order to compete with each other, whilst digital is always at full price around launch. Here in the UK £55 is the RRP for most games, and that's the price of new retail games when you buy them digitally. But if you walk into an actual store (or online store like Amazon), you'll rarely pay more than £40, because all the retailers are slashing their prices to compete with each other.
