Overall the cost of the game outweighs the cost of shipping and packaging ten fold and so without all that, the price is barely reduced anyway so theres probably not much point even changing the RRP.

I guess its mainly to keep up profits and not hurt the game retail industry that they rely on the pump out hardware for them and all sorts of stuff.
