Disc version for me. I usually only buy digital if the disc version isn't available in the US.

Disc version for sure.. when I'm done I want to be able to trade it and get something for it to put towards my next game. Now I'm married and have kids I don't have lots of money to spend on games.

People buying digital must be rich I mean don't they charge rip off prices like £60 for the digital game when you can pick it up for like £40? I don't care who the dev is but charging those crazy prices is not on.

I might go digital. Face it, there are not many games left for PS3. I have plenty of room for the Last of Us, and GT6, The Puppeteer, and a few others.

Digital. Considering they PS3 won't play on PS4, might have to go that way anyway.

To be honest, I could even have a 1TB of HDD space that I would go with a disc version. In 20 years I can pop the disc and play the game. If I get the game digital, in 20 years they could shut down the PS3 services and I won't be able to redownload the game in case my hard drive dies or something.

I always go with the disk version.  If my PS3 dies at some point in the future I don't have to worry about re-downloading a bunch of games, hoping the network won't be horribly slow that day, etc.  I've got a 500GB drive but there's no reason to fill it up needlessly.

Your disc could get scratched beyond repair just like hard drives can fail. Although yeah, one is inevitable, one is necessarily not.

Disk Copy for me personally, I trade in my games towards the value of the next game months ahead. In this case, everything will go towards the PS4.

I'm getting the hard copy myself. Besides, I always borrow some of my games to friends, so that'll make it easier.

Digital and Disc are both $60 USD in the US.

I think it's the same price in the US for both Digital and Retail. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe as well as every other publisher that puts games on the Playstation Store like to screw us over with the digital prices.

I'm going to buy The Last of Us on disc. I'll always choose disc copies over digital as I like to have a physical copy of my games. Anyway I got £5 off any PS3 game coupon from Tesco which I'll be using for The Last of Us.

Getting the Limited Edition hardcopy, been waiting for this game eagerly since it was announced.  Too bad some douche-bag spoiled the ending in the comments section of gametrailers, though.

Disc. I'd never buy a digital copy when you can get the hardcopy for the same price. It actually surprises me that there are people that do.
