Anyway, it's not much of a sale, you can get a boxed copy off Amazon for just a few quid more.

When you consider Louis CK made over a million dollars releasing his latest stand up show direct to the public through his website, no cut for retailers or distributors, no packaging or printing costs. It cost me approx £3 instead of the £15 other similar shows are going for down the supermarket. According to Louis he also has made WAY more for himself than he would have if he'd went the traditional route.
When you consider that... for digital distribution of games to be 25% MORE expensive than retail, the consumer is getting bent over and royally shafted.
I don't expect parity, I know that EA are the publisher and not the artist here, but it should still cost less than retail every time.
