I'm with you 100% mate. The prices are crap.
If I buy a digital download, the price should be a bit less than a disc-based game, considering I can't sell it, trade it in, lend it out or give it away. Publishers would rather people bought digital games for those very reasons, yet they are giving us almost no incentive to buy them by setting the prices way too high.
Microsoft's first party titles are £44.99, which I think is still too high by about £10, but it's not awful. Third party titles are around £55 though, which is expensive and as you said, it's even worse on the PS4 with some games being £60. I know we're yet to see any sales cos it's far too early, but I bet when they happen they won't be great.
Hopefully they will allow retailers to sell digital download cards and codes so that it introduces some competition. It would be cool if you were sent a QR code so you could just hold your smartphone up at Kinect.
