Digital or Physical?

Discus and support Digital or Physical? in XBoX on Consoles to solve the problem; I buy whatever's cheapest. I'm torn, I prefer the digital option so I can change games without getting up (lazy I know) but I can trade in physical discs Discussion in 'XBoX on Consoles' started by MoshedBrotatoe, Jun 20, 2014.

    Previously physical but with a broken blu ray drive I may switch to digital.... I worry about the quality of the drive in the xbox one....

  3. A bit of both on the Xbox One. It depends on the price really. I hardly ever trade in games. I may in time go all digital, I'm already doing it with my PC gaming, and with the Steam summer sale...

  5. Yeah, digital is definitely better (price-wise; just to clarify, I'm referring to from country to country, not digital vs. physical here) for those of us in the US. Kind of a bummer for everyone else though...

    Don't worry about the repeat thread Brotato; there's plenty of new Xbox One owners as of late who probably haven't had the opportunity to give their two cents on this issue. Digital or Physical? ;)

    Digital is too expensive. I have been forced into buying discs, Titanfall is an example, I bought the disc for £28, where on the store it's £50.

    I've bought some digital titles, some of the DWG games and BF4. Due to the price disparity I'll probably only buy DWG discounted games digitally for here on.

  7. I think a large part of the argument for which is better lies on whether you'd prefer saving money (physical) or getting a higher quality of product (digital).

    It's a mixture. Arcade kind of games and Minecraft I'd get digitally as don't want to worry about a disc for those games.

    To summarise a debate. Digital you don't need to worry about getting up to change a readable disc or loosing it or damaging it (kids or if you have a party). The cons with Digital is it's generally more expensive than prices which authorized retailers can
    sell it for and they can sell it below RRP and for those of us on normal ADSL Broadband speeds not Fibre with a monthly data cap limit I can see why several peps would still want to go for disc, also disc offers you a PHYSICAL copy and generally a 30-90 day
    warranty and you can sell it easily. Even the games I hardly play on Xbox 360 haven't sold them I just keep them or they gather some dust.

  14. So far all physical on Xbox one. If a game goes on sale I will buy digital though.
