    I don't trade games in.

      I rarely trade in games too, and I'm used to digital games now as I've been digital on PC for years now. I only wish the prices were cheaper like you can often get on PC digital games.

        Yes, i get that. I'm not trying to get an economics lecture out of this lol. I'm simply asking if there is any benefit to getting a digital copy outside of not going to the store. I'm not getting why this is a debate. Just asking if there are any incentives (cheaper, a unique bonus, etc).

          at least on PSN it's cheaper due to the lack of tax. Other than that the only benefit is you don't have to worry about taking care of a disc, switching out between games, or anything of that nature. Plus being able to play at the exact time they open the game up is nice, instead of having to wait in lines for a midnight release.

            I don't plan on trading Destiny in. But as someone who trades in games on a regular basis, Destiny will almost certainly be worth way more than $7.32, even a year from now. Especially if you catch gamestop in a trade in deal. Take GTA V for example, it's still worth $25 bucks before any promotion.

            The point is; for people who'd rather get some value out of a game they'll never play again (whether it's destiny or any other game) it's worth it to go physical copy for this reason. Until they make an economic incentive to go digital and save some money up front, I will always purchase a physical copy.

              It is $20+ cheaper for me to buy on the US PSN than to buy locally. I buy everything digital.

                I love the convenience. I already have it pre-loaded and don't have to worry about having a disc to play. I am all in on digital now.

                  Same.

                  Plus, I have a 1.5 TB HDD. It would be a waste of money if I bought physical copies.

                    Finally taking the Digital plunge on PS4. Just pre ordered and started preloading this bad boy.

                    The wait is gonna kill me.

                      Destiny

                      I really want to go digital with this game, but I'm having a hard time justifying it.

                      Best buy gave me a $50 credit for canceling my limited edition pre order. I have gamers club so that pays for the game. But, I could use it on a psn card and get the digital edition that comes with the season pass. Technically, it would only be saving $5 if I went physical then. But best buy is also doing the $10 in rewards for pre ordering so it's more like $15. I might have to do physical for $15.

                      Digital is just so convenient. If I didn't have gamers club id go digital on more games.

                            Yeah, that's kind of what i was asking and thank you for answering it. I would love to go digital if it gave me something outside of not driving to the store. I'm in Long Island and there is a gamestop almost as often as there is a Starbucks lol.
