It depends on where you can purchase the disc, if the disc is in good condition, and how much it is compared to the digital price. Digital prices tend to stay stagnant so an older title like that could stay being $15 USD online for basically forever while
an existing disc copy at a GameStop could literally be $2 USD right now if you found one. That's an over exaggeration but a thought to consider, nevertheless.

Demo versions versus the full versions of a game (whether disc or digital) tend to be less reliable in terms of support and reliability when it comes to things like lag. When getting the full version of a game you need to consider whether or not the game
is supported still, what kind of bugs the game has had that have been fixed, what bugs does it still have, and everything in between. Discs can lag almost as much as a digital copy. It just depends on the game.

Hi there Xbox360fanguy99,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is a question in reference to the Disc and Digital format of the games. Both types of content will need to go through a download process on Xbox 360. For digital purchases, I recommend to review
the following article: How to re-download previously downloaded or purchased content to your Xbox 360.

Try this article for troubleshooting steps for the Xbox 360 game freezing/lagging:

If the issue persists, try re-installing the game on the console.

Give this a try and let us know the results.

dead or alive 4 was disc only, so in your case you will not be able to get this game as there is no digital version. there was only a demo in digital format

If that game goes BC you won't need to buy a digital version. Xbox 360 games that become BC work on disc as well, so you can buy the second hand.

If you installed the game from a disc you always need the disc to play the game. This couldn´t change. If you want to play games without a disc you have to buy them as digital version.
