Plus if the net isn't working...ahem...destiny....your totally bummed out because nothing will load.
digital, no need to get up to play a different game xD
Triple A always Physical, other stuff more often digital
We will soon not have a say in how this is evolving, but i still want to be a part of the gaming community that has held a physical copy of a game in their hands.
physical it saves space on my harddrive
I prefere Legal Digital Copy !
I used to think physical but once I started using steam, digital is the way to go. only negative is for collection purposes, no box or artwork
Digital of course!
If I have to pay 60 dollars then I'd like to get a box. The future is whatever people make it; steam, origin, or uplay doesn't have to exist.
I used to prefer physical copies but now I am lazy and prefer not to have to keep changing the disc! I do wish for physical copies of some games, however, since it would be nice to have as a backup in case you ever have trouble getting into your account.
i prefer physical more, atleast i have the casing and also the cover page of the game i bought..
I prefer physical, because it feels more like I own the game when I'm holding it in my hands.
Physical. Probably just prefer physical out of tradition.
I like digital since my wife doesn't have to deal with all the PC game clutter. :-)
It's easier to go digital, for sure. Only thing to improve is download times, and that's getting better each day.
Digital copies, because it's not 1900 anymore.
Personally, I prefer physical copies, especially with games now since more often than not, you could have crappy internet and the downloads off the online stores could take hours to install rather than just installing through the discs.
When it comes to PC games, I prefer physical. I feel empty when I purchase a PC game and have nothing to show for it...unboxing the game is half the fun and sometimes the manual can be cool. But for console....since I have little ones who don't take care of game discs....I prefer digital. I don't know how many times I've had to buy their favorite game over and over because they just toss it on the table and think dragging it to the table edge (face down) is faster than doing it carefully and correctly.
digital if cheaper
digital :)
digital
i like physical better
I prefer digital where cycle accurate emulation or flash cartridges are available.
I go for physical copies of games that are actually worth money, collector wise. Everything else I prefer digital.
Physical copies whenever I'm able. I'll do digital for older games or ones that are harder to find, if the price isn't prohibitive.
On PC I prefer digital. The other consoles I play are the wii u and 3ds. On the Wii U it doesn't make much of a difference to me, but on 3DS I'll get digital if I think it's a game that I'll pretty much want to always have access to, like super smash bros. If it's a game I think won't be played for too long I'll get physical so I can give it to a friend or sell it when I'm done. I've still never resold a game though.
I prefer digital copies wherever possible, but physical copies are OK too - just take more space.
i like how easy to handel digital downloads are, but since GTA V (PC) iam really looking forward to physical copys when it comes to Game size.
Digital for modern games, physical copies for old retro games I grew up playing.
Havent bought a game in a long time on cd or dvd
I love digital copies on psn, but problem is that there is never enough space on my ps3...
A combination of both. It depends on which game
I prefer physical copies because I've been stuck with a dead hard drive and no internet. When I got a new system to play on, I was unable to play until I had internet, then it was nothing but hoops to try to get all my stuff back.
Digital is way more convenient, but there's something I like about being able to display physical copies.
Now that I think about it, that's also how I feel about comics!
Digital. It is way more easy and convenient.
physical!! always!!
physical
I like Digital with Steam because sometimes they have specials on for cheap :)
I prefer physical and make digital copies from it if it's something worth preserving.
