Digital or Physical?

I think going digital allows you full next gen feel..... no more changing disks. Love it.

Have to keep an eye on prices though.

I buy physical when I can; I want SOMETHING for $60! On the other hand, if it's dirt cheap or an indie game I'm fine with digital.

It'll depend on the game.

If I feel like the game will last me a while and I won't want to trade it in for credit....then I'll go digital.

That and it depends on how much space is on my system.

I've already gone all digital on the PC though....I have like 160+ games on Steam. It really is great. People who are afraid of change and don't know how it works are the ones that always say it sucks.

Sure...I still like physical discs, but at least I try both.

Digital. I tend to get a $5-10 discount and I dont get charged tax so I am saving a few bucks.

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.

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....

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
