But then why make them so uncompetitive?

If you're gonna make it so only people with more money than sense are going to buy it, you may as well go the whole hog and make a LOT of money off of each transaction.

I think they're seeing how many copies they can sell at that price while they still have the physical copies available as a customer alternative (so they don't shoot themselves in the foot by pricing all formats of the game out of the market), if people are happy to pay £57.99 for an online version rather than take a trip to the shops then EA will probably take that into consideration when more and more console games become available online only.

Why can't PSN pricing be more like Steam? That would be awesome.

Steam has terrible prices :confused:

It's only the sales that are any good.

downloaded games should always be cheaper than retail, no manufacturing costs (dvd, case & cover/book), no shipping costs and no storage (ie warehouse) costs not to mention no retailer cut!!!

That's what I mean, but there can be good deals on Steam preorders too.

Steams infrastructure will be pretty massive though the hardware and server costs will be large, plus there are bound to be a good few teams of people that look after it. So its not a zero cost platform thats for sure.
