Dell have curiously jumped feet-first into the online digital market, bringing Software, Games & Music (the latter for EU customers only) via a NEXWAY-powered portal.
Albums can be purchased for what I can only assume are sensible prices (the site seems fairly schizophrenic, offering prices in either Pounds Sterling or Euros as it sees fit), Software comes in at what seems to be normal industry (over-)pricing (i.e. £50 for stuff that can be done quite easily for free using GPL’ed/Open Source Software) and the games come in at prices that can only be considered obscene next to even high-street retail and Steam EU pricing.
£39.99 for Race Driver: GRID? No thanks.
Back to the drawing board methinks…
