What will you do in this (hypothetic) situation?

You want to play.... rayman 2 for example and you have two options

digital form= 10$

disc/cartridge form= 15$

which version will you buy? and why?

I have to go with the disc/physical copy because there is something about seeing a line-up of PS1, PS2, and PS3 games lined up in organized fashion on my shelf. It's the collector in me as well. I'm also a sucker for liner notes as well:P

The disc for me, no doubt. The only time I like going with a digital copy is if the physical copy is either ridiculously expensive or very hard to find. But for only $5 more, it's definetly worth it. If you ever tire of the game you can sell it or trade it. You can't do that with a digital copy.

Disk/cartridge. When I'm done with it, or if I don't like the game I can sell it.

It depends how easily obtained the analog version is. I'd rather not wait one week for a mail just for a more expensive version of a game I could download for cheaper price in one hour...

if its just 5 dollars (ie £3) then I don't mind paying extra for the physical copy

if the physical copy was an extremely expensive game , I would get the digital one.

for instance, if Radiant Silvergun gets released on PSN, I would buy it because the physical copy costs alot.

The physical copy because I like collecting them and building on to my library. It just doesn't seem good enough to have a game saved to ahard drive.

I get digital. I never even consider physical copies of anything older than last gen. Second_Rook

Also I still own my consoles from last gen, many of the older ones I have sold or given away, so in a lot of cases digital is my only option.

I'm a collector So the physical media will always win.

i never download

Digital, if you own a psp. For me, that is the best thing about the psp.

i will always buy the physical game. digital is never an option for me even if its way cheaper which ironically it usually isnt.kit352

What about when the digital version offers more? Say you buy a 50+ hour rpg. The ability to play at home, and then take it on the road, does not interest you?

With the exception of PC games, I usually prefer having a physical copy.

pretty much my opinion yesterday

I bought GTA1/2/3/VC/SA from Steam because they were on offer for £5 combined

its those kinds of deals where the digital copies are better

and yes, all of the PC versions of the GTA games are better then the PS1/PS2 versions (VC and SA look great in high res)

Digital is a mess

the Disc version is cheaper than $10 on Amazon FYI. I see it for as cheap as $3 (ps1). Where did u get $15? Disc is always better and nearly always cheaper. Once in a while you'll pay more for the disc, but at least you can share it with friends. a digital purchase is final and usually a ripoff.

Disc/Cartidge, I'm a fan of owning the ORIGINAL media of which something appeared on, so I can show the box to people and stuff.
