Games: Physical vs Digital?

Community General Discussion

Simple question:
When you buy games, do you prefer to buy them digital, or have a physical copy?

Personally, I buy all of my PC games digitally, and all of my console games Physically.
Just… Something about being able to hold a copy of a videogame in my hand is satisfying. It’s the main reason that I bought Spartan Assault on Steam, rather than the Xbox One or Xbox 360.

I go for both. I get a digital copy and transfer it into a flash drive (witch I lable as whatever game is in it)… that way its both.

This practice is getting costly however, whith newer games needing bigger flash drives

Edit: The upside is that I can keep 30 games in a container the size of a pencil box

Edit 2: I used to do the same thing you do, (all pc games digital and all console games physical)… now I just get digital and turn it physical myself.

Yeah i understand your feeling with being able to hold the copy in your hands. But for me it totally depends. If a game is cheaper in physical then i will buy it physical. If a game takes less memory when it’s digital then physical then i will buy it digital (Looking at you Destiny. 18Gb digital and 40Gb physical)

I’m 100% digital. Space has never been an issue, yet. I mostly just play Steam games and Halo, however, so it keeps it simple.

I buy my PC games digitally, and for console Physically.

I prefer physical for limited editions but digital is cheaper most of the times also preload rocks

7

I buy digital. It’s great not having to drive to gamestop to pick up a game.

8

Depends on the game. I like things like Minecraft Digital, But Halo I will always buy physical

9

i buy digital, except for the Collector/LEgendary edition that i want to buy (H5 for exemple). But i actually have 12 games on xOne all digital and more than 200 games on pc 99% digital ^^

Physical. I dont do digital.

It’s interesting, seeing all of the different and varied responses. I usually do physical stuff, but once and a while get digital.

I always prefer physical copies. When you have something digital you can’t always look back at it see changes and what not. For exapmle, I have every Halo, and it’s great to look back at them and reminisce! Then again… that’s just me.

Physical is nice to have but digital is so convenient.
