Yeah, once you go download only then you can expect to never get a good deal on games. I legally buy all my games (and I rarely buy pre-owned) but some games aren't worth full price to me. If you go download only then you can forget about shopping around. Most games will be full price for ages and will only go as low as platinum prices allow. See Xbox on Demand as an example. I can buy many of the games on there for less than £10 and get a disc.

so how come steam does way better deals than most retail stores? only problem is I always end up buying the game before the awesome deal.
To compete with the used copies market. And while you get deals with it, you still can't sell them.
Although in my country, (Portugal) Steam prices are even worse that hard copy retail prices. I remember Steam selling Bioshock for 60€ when the normal price was 50€ and they are still selling Mirror's edge for 50€ (normal launch price) when you can allready get it in stores for 20€. And I'm not talking used copy either, brand new Mirror's edge hard copy.
