Disc Prices Beside Microsoft Store Prices
An Xbox game is two products with two separate prices: the download on the Microsoft Store, and the disc in a case that shops discount on their own schedule. XBXprices tracks both, so this page puts them side by side for every game we have matched to a physical listing in United States.
Open any game for its full edition list, who is selling it, and how today's disc price compares with every price we have recorded for it. To skip straight to the ones where the disc wins, see games cheaper on disc.
- Is an Xbox game cheaper on disc or on the Microsoft Store?
- It depends on the game and the week. Digital prices move on Microsoft's sale calendar; disc prices move whenever a shop wants the shelf space, so the two are unrelated and either can be ahead. This page puts both numbers side by side so you do not have to guess.
- Where do these disc prices come from?
- They are collected from Amazon by our own price worker and stored here. Nothing on this page asks Amazon anything while you read it, so every price carries the date we last saw it. If a price is more than a week old it is labelled as such rather than presented as today's.
- Do discs hold their value?
- A disc can be resold or lent, which a download cannot, and that is worth something the sticker price does not show. It also has to be swapped to play a different game, needs the case to be looked after, and can go out of print, at which point the price climbs. An all-digital Series S cannot read one at all.
- Why do I only see a few games?
- Disc coverage grows one harvest pass at a time and only for the countries whose Amazon store we hold an affiliate account for. A game with no row here has not been matched yet; it is not a claim that no disc exists.
