I have all digital myself. Considering that physical games now require a person to download the whole game anyway, it makes sense. Plus you can pre-load new games and play them at midnight without having to leave home to get a copy.
No shortages in Australia, all retailers have stock. That is what happens when you charge $470 for a console that is $300 in the US (plus you can get a XB1 Slim + game for $400 here). In their advertising, they don't even mention the price here.
