Physical vs Digital

[El Héroe Oscuro]

Depends on the platform, really. With PC digital is preferred because of Steam. With consoles, I'd rather have the physical copy.



Sometimes you've just got to make room and accept that sometimes the games will be in a stack rather than on the shelf.

See, I've just come to the point where I dont have room for them because I keep buying too many lol. I've inevitably switched over to digital just because it's become a pain to continually switch over games. Ease of accessibility is just easier digitally.

I prefer physical, I only get digital if I absolutely have to.

Physical all the way. The less space I have to take up on my systems the better. I got a game for $5 during the PSN golden week sale but I really prefer to have physical because fuck Vita memory cards.

Digital for convenience,I mainly buy things through Steam. Part of it is also that I don't even have that many games, so I can't really just have my games stored somewhere so I can look at them and go "What a wonderful collection I have".

I always get physical games for consoles, but on PC I buy digitally because convenience.

Nothing beats having the game box in your hand. I'll take the slight inconvenience of having to physically swap game carts and not be able to quickly choose ames from the home screen, it's more safe and just much better to me.

When it comes to the all the games in my collection I have a lot of physical games. Course I have a lot of digital games as well. Course I actually like physical games over digital since I prefer being able to feel the disc or cartridge with my hands. You can't do that with digital games.

While digital is convenient, I'd much prefer to have a physical collection of games.

Digital. More convenient, cheaper, and you can't lose a digital copy of a game. I have no idea why physical copies of games even still exist. I understand why you might want physical games for collection reasons, but I think having a steam library of hundreds of games is just as impressive as having a shelf of hundreds of games, plus it doesn't fill your entire room.

It's definitely digital for me. With computers nowadays lacking a CD drive in first place, what else can you have?

Convenience factor. Data can get corrupted even when you take care of them. SD cards and flash drives are notorious for that. Plus it's nice to have the option to return a game if you end up not liking it or to resell it to get some cash back. If you pay for a digital game that you end up not liking you're pretty much s.o.l.
