Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
That's a good question and I'm not sure. I found myself going back and buying a bunch of older PS3 games I had sold even after I got a PS5. Both of my sons each have an Xbox Series X and they love the digital copies. Neither of them ever want a physical copy of a game now. When I see the ease of how they switch back and forth, it does seem like a good idea.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
Digital all the things. Last physical game I bought was Rock Band 4. Last Blu-Ray I bought was The Martian.
Our Blu-Rays are in a box next to our DVDs in the garage from when we moved in 2016 and never got unpacked.
That was also the year we cut the cord and haven't had a non-streaming TV service since.
There are pluses and minuses, but I have no regrets.
Have a healthy PC library and enjoy my console / PC game subscriptions as needed.Comment

Physical for life. I will, however, purchase sports games digitally for convenience. I can go back and get a physical copy of a sports game dirt cheap a year or two down the road. The digital version will get delisted or never see a price drop after a period of time.
On non games media I've actually started buying more Blu rays again. Things are so fragmented that I'd rather just buy what I want so I don't have to figure out which streaming service it's on.

I did that and kinda wished I had sprung for the extra hundo on the disc version.Originally posted by Ghost Of The YearAre all PS5 games available for digital? I have considered buying a second PS5, the one that's discless digital only.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
The disc version is too big for where I have my PS5 located so that was one reason i went digital at the time. Not that I mind the design of the console don't really like it but for the life of me I don't understand why they couldn't have just gone with a rectangular shape. I mean it is a box no reason for the weird look/shape of it.Originally posted by Ghost Of The YearYeah, I could have gotten a PS5 a lot quicker than I did if I hadn't wanted to wait for the disc version. I just have so many PS4 physical edition games, it made more sense in my mind to pass on the digital PS5. But I'm ready for one now.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
I don't really care; I'm a minimalist and I like not having the discs around anymore. With movies & TV, the only time it bothers me is when the image quality drops during a stream.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
Been digital since basically the end of the PS3 era, bought a few discs during the PS4 era, but I would say I was 98% digital.
Fast forward to this gen, and I'm 100% digital as far as games go, the only discs I buy are 4k movies as streaming doesn't look near as good to me.
Another reason I stay digital, is the sales and discounts on games through the MS store, as well as using MS points to get even more off the price, as a quick example...
I noticed on the MS store they had the Ultimate edition of Ghost Recon Wildlands which retails for $119.99 on sale for something like $23.99, so I used a few of my rewards points and got the $120.00 version for $17 and some change.
Being able to get complete editions of games at a discount or on sale is IMO way cheaper than buying a disc.
I can fully understand if someone is a collector of physical media, I used to be,but no longer want to mess with it.
I do have a few original Xbox games in boxes, but other than that? I couldn't honestly say the last physical game I bought.People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.“I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest – If you can’t take it, you shouldn’t play!” Jack Lambert“Quarterbacks should wear dresses.” Jack LambertComment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
Since some of my games that I bought for the PS4 digitally have gone missing I would say I wished I had bought the physical copies. No recourse I am sure. They show up in the trophy section so obviously I have played them but they are nowhere to be found.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
I've been playing MLBTS24 digital download version for the last week. First sports non-disc game I've ever had. So far my experience has been as great as any disc-based game. But however, in a couple or three years when the disc version price hits rock bottom, I plan to buy it a precautionary backup. I don't know if I will willingly go digital only when EA CFB hits shelves, either way disc or download, both options are on the table, so right now I'm no longer a hardliner against digital downloads.Talk about things nobody cares.

Did you check your library? They should be there.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
I haven't purchased a physical copy of a game since the end of the PS3 era I believe. I prefer digital, I don't want to have store a bunch of physical media.
I haven't really bought any media in physical format for probably 10 years or so. I'm good with that.Comment

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?
I’ve lost and had physical media stolen so that’s the other side. As well have had physical media damaged so I rather just keep everything digital.
I’ve gotten to the point too where I don’t buy games at full price. Maybe a couple here and there but majority of the time I can find super deals with steam sales or play it on gamepass Xbox or PlayStation down the road.
I’ve collected such a back log of digital stuff that I can wait a year or two to play the upcoming titles.
