I reckon it will be £55....I'll pick it up digitally and register it on my sons Xbox under my profile.
£55 for essentially two copies of the game is great...means im not fighting with my son as to who plays it

That won't work
Yes it will. Worked already with Forza 5, Halo Spartan Assault and the Titanfall beta
LOL, nothing stopping them making digital cheaper anyway - havent they done tests? Do we know the results yet?

How do you mean?
If their is a push to make the digital the same price or cheaper, I imagine it'll come from MS.
Well its a push both from all publishers and the platform holder - dont think EA are an insignificant part of this considering all the PR they were throwing about being the best selling publisher on next-gen, especially as they were rumoured to be pushing their 'no second hand sales' agenda onto MS at last years E3...
It could be that simple, I just dont particularly agree with the whole DRM/online checks being the best/simplest method to obtain cheaper digital pricing.

You won't be able to play at the same time though. At least you couldn't with titanfall beta

EA's wet dream would be to kill the second hand market.
I still would have lied the option of buying s physical copy, then just letting the disc check be a quick online check, leaving my discs in the case.
Surly it would be s simple case of selling the physical copy for the second hand market?, not sure how that would stop me playing it toll it was activated to the person who buys it though.
I dont want to litter this thread (I didnt realise it wasnt the XO one when I replied) but Im mindful that while the Wii/DS is having its online support switched off and GfWL once its gone next month is going to make more than a handful of games (either bought physically or digitally) effectively dead that the convenience of something like discless play isnt worth the potential long-term concessions you are liable to have to make to allow it to happen...

My last post on this in this thread I promise! Happy to discuss in another/new thread...
Im not sold on the proposed ideas on how to achieve it so far, but yes it would be a nice thing to have - just needs less restrictions (if thats possible). As per my thread on my games backlog Ive become more and more aware how moving away from physical isnt always what its cracked up to be.
Indeed the whole management of games into services is gonna make what we can do today with older games a near impossibility (well without paying again for the trouble) in future with the games we enjoy today...

Digital games won't be cheaper. If we went totally digital every game would be £59.99 as there wouldn't be any competition. THAT'S why publishers want to go digital.
I doubt we'd get that on consoles. We'd only be able to buy from MS/Sony so they could control the prices. It wouldn't benefit the consumer at all.
It worked for the beta and its working for every digital game I own.
Already exists on PS4 doesn't it?

Logical actually.
Since when have online prices ever reflected retail?!?! They are two completely different things even if they are under the same brand name.
You sound the spit of a GAME employee.
But was I contesting the difference? No.
At the very least they should know the price of a game coming out in 11 days, right? It's basic information which in many cases could be the difference between a customer opting to buy, or not buy from them.
