Why is this $40 for a physical copy and $60 to download?

I think it's just that retailers get more leeway on what to charge for boxes, whereas the digital download price is set by the manufacturer.You'll see the same thing all the time with books. The hard copy will come out for like $20 with a $15 digital download and then a few months later you can get the hard copy for $12 and the digital download is still $15. Amazon could cut the price of the book but not the digital version.

I don't see any extra content in the download version, but I encourage you to investigate further. Barring that, this one certainly looks like the better value.

This is for the purchase of the physical disc. You can download the whole game from the PlayStation Network (PSN) as well for the same price.

You can find a couple of free downloads, but just a couple. Yes, the downloads cost a lot in my opinion too.

I paid $40 for mine. I guess you are paying for the digital screen in this model.

This one is a disc. That is up to you, your personal preference. I like both physical and digital. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I bought a disk for my PC, so yes. Otherwise, you can buy the online version.

If digital download, it would have been provided with the download. If bought did, should be in the case

Sorry, its just for the downloadable contents. You're going to have to purchase the actual game.

Wow! Do NOT pay that much for this! I have NO idea why this is at that price. I paid no more than $40 from here back when it was first released. Go on eBay, you can buy it for around $40 guaranteed. Shame on Amazon.

Thanks for the tip. I really like GOG.com, but this compilation is MUCH cheaper than obtaining all of the games separately there. Since I'm in no rush I'll check back on this later once the DRM (or lack there of) can be confirmed.

I see $35.89 with Amazon Prime. Either way, it's a ripoff, unless you can get it for $6 like B.M. Fine posted.

It has a 60 day trial version. Then you have to buy the version that you want.

because it's a digital download and not subject to Amazon's pricing algorithms.

With the physical disk you can re-sale/trade-in. With the digital download you can't.

Lemme revise that, just looked at the item linked. You just buy it, the price will depend on the day to day shift here. But just buy it, you'll get the code that you download the game with, from Steam. And that's how it's done. Hope that helps some.Later

Like Trent said, that is what happens. You can purchase the game in the store, I've seen plenty at around the retail price (usually $23 or so).

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive.
