    Digital or Physical


    I am planning on pre-ordering the game Anthem and I'm not sure if the product is in a digital or physical form or if there is a choice between them. Also note that I have not tried buying the game yet because I want to be sure that I am buying the Digital
    copy, so if somebody could clear this up for me that would be awesome.

    :)

    Physical.

    If they decrease the cost for digital, then I'll probably jump ship. Bu for now, I'll stick to renting physical copies.

    The lower cost for digital is already here, just need to look for sales. In Games on Demand I bought several games on Sale that were lower than I'd pay in a game store, most were $4.99 with some for $2.99 and that doesn't include Free Games with Gold.

    digital 100%.... fast switch.... snapping... home gold (2 for 1) .. friends house w/ no discs... Family sharing coming back only digital.... Lending digital games within 6 months... selling digital games in 6 months... better prices compared to disc in
    6 months...

    Buts thats OK.... trade in your $60 disc at Gamestop for for $12... I dont mind

    [/quote]Ding, ding, winner, winner, chicken dinner.

    !00% Digital also ensures revenue goes to the people that actually create the Games in the first place. Plastic Trinkets and bartering are a thing of the past. Now society simply uses a thing called money and pays the person or people for what they want.

    GameStop and Barterers, feel free to barter away until the bitter end. Then those people can put on their rose tinted glasses and reminisce about the "glory days" and "when gaming was fun".

    [/quote]

    Agree with both the above. I'm already all digital on my 360. Switching games is sooo smooth compared to changing a physical disc every time I want to play a different game. I'd never want to go back to physical.

    Digital or Physical

    It depends on where you're buy it from and what you choose.

    If you pre-order from your console or here - Buy Anthem™ Standard Edition - Microsoft Store - it'll be digital. If you pre-order from other websites,
    it'll note whether it's a digital code or if it's a disc.

    When ordering from a retailer like Amazon, it will usually say " buy download" or "digital code". Make sure you don't order from a shady site, though. You can be scammed if you aren't careful. If I were you, I'd order directly on your Xbox from the Microsoft
    Store. That way you know you are buying a legitimate digital copy.

  7. Depends on where you're getting it from, however I strongly advise you to get the digital copy because trust me it sucks when your game disc breaks and you have to get another one.

    Digital or Physical?

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

    Digital or Physical?

    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....

    Digital or Physical?

    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
