From PC Mag: Sony has decided retailers can no longer sell PS4 full game digital download codes, with the codes disappearing from sale on April 1.
The decision impacts all retailers, not just GameStop, and will mean you can no longer walk into a store and purchase a full PS4 game in digital form. Doing so was a nice and simple way to buy someone a game as a gift you could stick inside a card. However, DLC packs, add-ons, season passes, and virtual currency will still be available to purchase.
Clearly Sony has decided offering full game downloads at retail doesn't work anymore, with the official line from a PlayStation spokesperson being, "This decision was made in order to continue to align key businesses globally."
It also looks like more emphasis is being placed on buying digital currency to then spend on the PlayStation Network, with Sony looking to offer "increased denominations at select retailers." Right now you can purchase codes that add between $10 and $100 to your account. It seems likely that will now increase to match the digital wallet limit of $200.
