    Re: Physical vs Digital Copy

    Pre-ordered digital on series X because of quick resume but will pick up physical PS5 later on during a sale.

      Are you also aware that physical discs are nothing more than license keys?

      The notion of "owning" a game in a physical format has also deteriorated over the years. Most physical games serve as license keys that still need to occasionally check in with a remote server. Unless you're buying a PC game without DRM (like games from GOG), or physical games for legacy consoles, you don't really own your own games.


      Oh yeah, almost forgot 100% digital.

        I preordered the NCAA/Madden digital bundle.

        I saw Walmart is going to be selling an exclusive Steel Book so I'll probably pick that up too.

          I've been Digital for 10+ years now. just prefer having all my games ready without having to swap disc. on my PC I have a 8TB SSD that has all my games installed on so i never have to re-download them. my Xbox, I have a 4TB external drive, and recently got the 2TB SSD external drive for the Series X.

            Physical. I love having the case and everything. That way I can trade it in to put down on next years installment.

              Likely a digital copy on Series X and physical on PS5. I want a physical version mostly because of the significance of college football being back. I want this in my collection. This is my most anticipated game sense probably RDR2
              It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

                I’ve never had an incentive to preorder but will be picking it up on digital probably the week of release. Gave up on physical games last generation.

                  What do you do if your system totally crashes? I’m guessing you can sign on to a new device and redownload your games?

                    Definitely going with a physical copy. I want to have this one in the collection as it seem it's going to be an absolute modern classic.

                      Great convo. Probably should have done a poll. Lo siento!

                      I'm leaning digital, like I do with every game, but it is always nice to have a physical copy. I still have NCAA 14 and College Hoops 2k8 and I'm glad I do!

                        I went for both the Deluxe and physical copy. Me being a collector and the game being away for 11 years, needed a physical copy to enjoy. Also me being a custom cover guy, always an incentive to get the game and case.

                          Whatever you do, absolutely positively make sure you know what email address your PlayStation or Xbox account is tied to. I had no idea they were tied together, I made the mistake of thinking the digital download was tied to my PlayStation console. Big mistake on my part.

                            Probably will end up going digital.

                                Physical copy. Gotta have that case. And my son does mostly downloads. My PS4 is already so full, it won't do the Gran Turismo Sport update. Besides, I want the new football game buried with me.
