If I'm buying direct from Sony (for instance) then I should be paying cost. The 10% cheaper on digital copies should be for everyone, you shouldn't have to pay 5 dollars a month to get 7 dollars off of a few games each year.
2. I'd rather have information contained on a disc so that I don't have to worry about space management with my console memory. Every game installs now, but that's much smaller than a full download as far as I'm aware.
3. The saleability/gifting ability of digital copies is zero. Once it's yours it's yours forever. If I want to lend it to a friend, or sell a game I'm tired of, I can't.

I agree, they should be cheaper, but I usually only pay full price for new games. Often I get older games when they are on sale or discounted. I don't think the install size is any different for digital or disc. Anyway, I just picked up a 1TB external HD for my Xbox one and am good to go for a long time. With regards to gifting etc, its no different than steam and I'm fine with that. I would prefer all my content to be digital to be honest. It would be nice if they could offer some trade in or something down the road. That may have been part of their original plan before everyone went ape ####, who knows.
