    I’ve never seen digital codes at discount prices on official storefronts.

      Because retail has never sold digital copies before.

      Well that’s not true - you can buy digital codes for some Xbox games at retail, or at least you could, and they often went on sale.

        They have and do sell digital codes.

        they often went on sale.

        Not just to match whatever they were on the digital store? If the store can actually choose to lower the digital price themselves that’s slightly better than nothing.
