I have two reasons why I may go digital for the first time.

I live 100 miles from any store that will be selling this game on Tuesday. Also, I am on spring break and I don't want to waste a second of it by not having a ton of time playing the Show (man I miss when the game was released in early March).

Being able to play the game at midnight is golden for me!

That is correct.

Did same last year and sold disc the day before game came out.

I have no use for discs that I play most of the year.

So how does that work? Does the game install from the disc when you use it, then once you download it's just there and no installing? Or does it try to install the download too?

Game installs from the disc just like it would install from the PSN server. The disc is just a license for the ps4 to know you own the game

So when I sell the disc the game is installed in my hdd but if I want to play it with no disc I must buy the digital license from PSN store which is the full retail value again and it wont install again because I already have it installed from disc. it will just grant me digital license so that I do not require the disc

Must you always have an internet connection to play digital versions, even if the game is on the hard drive?

No that is not required. But if the game is for online play or requires online play to work like Titanfall then yeah you cannot

But I have BF hardlines in disc and the show

By Monday both will be sold as BF hardline does nothing for me long term that BF4 and COD cant which I have digital versions off

I will use money to buy BloodBorne disc as I am not sure that is a game I will like but will try it
