Why not digital copy?

I’m just curious in why everyone hates getting the digit copy of the game when you can literally download it and play it right when it is available. You can also download it on more than one console if you go over to a friends house, if their internet is slow then you can always just copy it over to an external hard drive. I can understand that some people don’t have internet, but is seems to me that it it’s kind of hard to believe that this many people don’t have access to the internet. All I see when I get a digital copy are benefits, is there something that I am missing that hard copies have and digital copies don’t?

I do this also. :slight_smile:

Why wait till its midnight to pick up the game/wait for the courier to send it to you. when you can sit at home waiting till its 12.01 am New Zealand time and just play :slight_smile:

Its the sense of actually having something physical over just air… for the money that was worked for.

Digital is also nice in that you can play on multiple Xboxes in the same day at different locations without a disc. I wish they allowed pre-install for disc buyers.

I normally go Digital, but I decided to get the LCE because it was a digital copy and came a week before launch.
However, the latter reason fell through and I have to pick it up on the 27th in New Zealand, and I’m not even 100% if its the digital code anymore.

It has nothing to do with internet access. Some people are item collectors and like having the physical item to grow their collections.

I agree that if you are buying only the game then digital is the way to go, but if you’re buying the console bundle or limited collector editions, then chances are that you are a collector looking for the physical items in those sets (and yes, this includes a physical disc which is oddly absent from those bundles).

I like to see what I pay for plus it’s part of my collection,also digital copies have no trade in value.

Digital for me.

I’m lazy in that I don’t want to go pick it up.
I’m in patient in that I don’t want to go pick it up.

I forgot all about the trade in value for games, I usually keep all of my games because I believe that one day I will go back and play them even if they weren’t that good.

They did, if you spent all the money on the big $200 bundle…

While I like the physical copies of games, I like how it came with a digital copy. It lets me not worry about leaving disks when I travel

I was a disc person on 360, but on the One all the disc is really good for is a License. The games are installed off the disc onto the xbox anyways. If anything happens to your disc you can’t play the game anymore and most game features these days are online only and the servers will go down eventually. With a Digital Copy you have the permission the play the game anywhere on your account and will last as long as the Microsoft servers last which I trust will be longer than the time period it takes for a disc to degrade. The only games I see a practical reason for a physical copy are offline games like Fallout, etc.

Halo is probably the only game i would get digitally (which i did) Just because i know for a fact i won’t be trading it in to gamestop

Love to have disc, but digital copy is super convenient.

I perfer physical disc for my collections.
