The SF Digital download is US$39.99. The retail box is US$19.99. Why would the digital cost double the box?

Retailers are trying to get rid of it?

I got my Digital Download for $15 bucks a month ago when they had a sale on it. Maybe again soon?

The expansion for sale in the marketplace has to be priced according to double station cash weekends also.

They couldn't actually provide any tangible value on these rare weekends.

Ya, I thought the same thing, but SOE is even selling the box for $19.99. Maybe they have a surplus on hand as well?

In any case, I picked it up from Best Buy yesterday for the lower price and they had a few on the shelf.

At least you guys CAN get a box copy, if you ask any game shop here in England for a boxed copy, the shop staff look at you like you're mental or something!

I thought the digital download price was $19.99 even at launch? That's what my friend said he paid.

I don't understand why the digital download is the same price as the collector's edition, though you get nothing more than what you'd get with the retail version.

Is this an oversight or really intended?

On an unrelated note, I'm coming back to the game after a long absence.  How often does Sony do the double station cash weekends?  Is it reasonably frequent or not?

Thanks!
