I remember the iPhone4 bumpers being about £20-25. Always been expensive.

Just ordered a couple of Spigen air skin cases for mine, don't normally have a case hoping this is thin enough to use without noticing.

I gave up with a case on my 5 as having it in the case meant it got scratched.

I will be going back to a case ASAP.

You aren't paying 50 quid for the disc and box, you still pay 50 quid even if you download the game, modern games cost millions to make

Its the same as many things. How much does a Bose hdmi cable cost to make vs cost to buy

Many branded 'cheap' good cost much more to buy than the un-branded stuff

Looking forward to Friday so I can go pick it up from the store.

Are there likely to be silly lines?

I'm off in the morning so might pop along and have a look so at least I can chose the right colour.

45mins on hold tonight before I gave up.

When you buy any physical digital media, you're not buying a CD/DVD/BluRay/whatever, you're paying for a license to use the data contained on it. You never actually 'own' the movie, album or software.

Things get worse with downloading digital media - your iTunes and/or Kindle library is gone when you die; you can't (legally speaking, according to Apple and Amazon's terms and conditions) leave them to someone else in your will, for example.
