Condemned09 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Physical copies they take less room compare to digital on my ps4 i have no more room for my hard drive because of the free games from plus also digital takes way too long to download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittet3 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Whatever is cheaper I use to be big into digital, but since I've found it impossible to sell any of my games and I just end up letting my little brothers play frisbee with them, I don't have a huge issue with digital. Of course, I've also never played over ten dollars for a digital games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScutumMagister Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Almost entirely digital. I couldn't care less about whether or not I can sell my games after I finish them. However, I prefer my Vita games to be physical as I like the system and there's something about having a collection of games for the system that "doesn't have any games". Though I know that some games are slower to load from a game card than they are from the memory card (Mind Zero for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoto Shirogane Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 It don't matter to me. I have bought my share of Physical and digital. As long as I have games to play. I feel the same. Both physical and digital copies of a game have their pros and cons but as long I get to play my games, I'm happy. Despite saying this, I do have a slight bias for digital games simply because I don't have leave my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 prefer digital. hard copies look pretty on the outside but they take up so much space and just become clutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mody94_Station Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Both, but I lean more towards digital thanks to the flash and steam sales that have been occurring on PS and PC platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawler Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like having the physical copies but I won't refrain from buying a game digitally if there's a good sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qhaotic Rebellion Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Preferred: Physical w/ original package Otherwise: Downloaded (and thats ONLY if I can't locate a physical copy of a game; I have gone out of my home city to get a game...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Physical! I love to have a physical collection. And yes, original boxes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastPisTolman Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If digital is the only route, I have no issue. If there is a physical release, I will strive to the that most of the time. Things likes Trials Fusion I'm happy to download, it shouldn't really be a physical release in my opinion - but for the most part I like to have a shelf that shows off what I have as opposed to everything I own being in the aether. I can't deny the convenience of having it instant access on the hard drive, but I also like the freedom of ability to put anything I own on within two minutes, as opposed to the odds in favour of waiting an hour for something to download.

ShadowStar83x Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Physical if the option is there, though not really against digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doruk ozgur Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 i prefer digital also, i use my ps4/ps3 for only gaming.. so why shouldnt i use 500/120 gb? and digital is also more easy to get.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailst0rm_2 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I liked physical up until they started doing away with the manuals and extras that made them special. Now I buy almost exclusively digital cause its usually cheaper. Seeing the game in my steam library with the art, screenshots, community content, etc. is a lot more appealing to me than a disc in a plastic case with nothing more (I hope Sony updates their layout to be similar one day).

theJJ88 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Partly because I made the mistake of getting too small HDD (500gb PS3) and memory card (16gb Vita)... I'm running low on space all the time, even my digital fighting games alone take so much space I have gone mostly physical. Most important reason is collecting games on my shelves. I tend to buy games as new (I love unwrapping 'em), but sometimes I have to resort to used if I get interested in some older game I missed years ago. Also, I prefer "original" and GotY cases, only Essentials I get are PS Move games. On Vita I've gone physical as much as possible. Just to support PAL retail publishing. Sometimes I import NA and Japanese retails if we don't get retail version. NISA is amazing PAL Vita publisher - and they are based in NA! Gotta support them, you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Always physical. Only get digital if there's no physical release at all. I don't want to have to upgrade my hard drive for being full of digital games. I could just keep deleting them and re-downloading them when I feel like playing them again, but I'm constantly afraid the game will be gone for good from the PSN Store and I'll lose both my game and my money forever. At least when you buy physical, you know the game is yours to keep. Not to mention I like having the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailst0rm_2 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Physical copies they take less room compare to digital on my ps4 i have no more room for my hard drive because of the free games from plus also digital takes way too long to download The bluray drive on PS4 is not fast enough to read discs and instead does a full installation to your HDD so physical is going to take up the same amount of space anyway. Installing is quicker than downloading though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryman098 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Depends on which is cheaper but usually, i buy a physical copy because at least i can sell the game on and make some money back unlike a digital copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Fysical pl3x. I love my game collection At night I want to hug it before I go to sleep... Feel how it tickles me gently!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangers_lead5278 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Definitely physical. I prefer to collect them on a shelf (even though I know I will never get the time to play them all). My physical disk collection stands at 420+ games vs digital collection of 150 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuelito Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) If the game has the same price for digital and physical of course I buy the physical. I buy digital games just if they are on sale like FIFA Street, Hitman Absolution and Mirrors Edge are almost always 5€ on psn sale Edited May 16, 2015 by pese-97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piknim Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I always bought my games physical in the beginning ie psone, xbox, xbox360, pc etc. When I got my PS4 I started out physical as well but I realized that I don't want a lot of cases lying around taking space. I don't display them in particular either. Now with a fast internet connection it feels like digital is the way to go. I don't sell my games to stores ever and all of my friends have jobs that pay well so we all buy the games we want, nobody has the need to borrow from each other. So this defeats the main pros of physical copies in my mind. Digital on the other hand always follow you around, you can never lose them, you don't have to change the disc to play different games. And you can still lend games to others via activating letting them activate your PS4 as the primary console for your account. And to my surprise the price is equal or better than physical. I know that in theory digital should be cheaper since they don't have to actually make them out of anything and ship them etc, but in the past digital always cost more than physical.

Clairvoyant_666 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Here in Uruguay games are pretty expensive due to extremely high import taxes, so most of the times I sell my games or I trade them in order to be able to afford other games, so I prefer physical games..
