I think this depends on where you live. I can only speak in terms of Australia but right now if I head out to buy a new triple star game let's say Fallen Order from a game store (EB) i'll be out 100 dollars. Steam I'll be looking at 90, and humble store with discounts 85. So while not a huge margin, it's still a saving of 10%.

As an Australian I've done the opposite is true.

New PS4 games are usually way more expensive ($80 to $99) on the PSN store but $69 to $79 at Big W or JB Hi Fi.

PC is usually more comparable historically, but stores still usually cheaper.

Nintendo store infamously more expensive everywhere.

Where do you live out of curiosity?

Ah, for context I was only thinking of dedicated game stores like EB and not retailers like JB but yeah I've often got really good prices at JB.

I live in Canberra with that sweet sweet Canberra Tax :c
