When's the last time you bought a game on physical media? Like a CD or DVD?

In general, yesterday with OoT 3D. For PC...probably a few months ago. Now that I have faster internet, DD is starting to become the norm for me.

It's been a while. I think Portal 2 was my last physical copy purchase from Amazon.com because it was only $29.99 only a week from launch day.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be my next hard copy purchase, also will be from Amazon.com.

Just last Thursday when I bought Portal 2. Friend works at Target and it was 30 bucks, but ended up being cheaper because of his discount. I never really touched the disc because I activated it on Steam, but I at least bought the physical copy.

CODBO >: (. I've been waiting out 2011 because all the games I want are out this holiday. The only physical releases I might get in the near future are Red Orchestra 2 CE and Mass Effect 3 CE.

The other day when I bought The Simpsons Season 13 DVD set.

Oooops game.....

That'll be the Empire: Total War and Napoleon: Total War combo.

I like that combo. Install with the disc. Then activate (via Steam or something else) and never have to use the physical media again.

A couple months ago when Crysis 2 first released.

I don't know. I was already getting impatient downloading Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and it's less then 3gb. Heaven forbid if I have to download X-Plane 9 which can total 7 DVD discs if you include scenery for the whole world.

CoD Black Ops just because I wanted the case for some reason, although the game had some issues at launch, aside from the fact that MW2 is so much better that it seems like the games were developed on different planets, and the one BLOPS is from, sucks while all the good looking women and alcohol are on planet MW2, but I digress... Prior to that, I bought The Orange Box on launch, although just yesterday I ordered a physical copy of RFA for a friend as a gift since it costs less than half the price of the digital download on Amazon which is really, really odd.

I'm buying a physical copy of Deus Ex Revolutions because it has cover art that is literally worth more than some premium game packages are worth... It's the most amazing cover art I've seen in a long time, and it does help that the game itself is probably the best single player experience of its kind(meaning what it does, it does very well).

Last physical game was LA Noire on PS3 in May, last physical game on PC was Starcraft and Diablo 2 in March

Fallout: New Vegas (whenever it was released) but, other than that, everything has been a download form one on-line service or another.

It has been almost 3 years since I bought a game on physical disc. That was Wrath of the Lich King in November 2008. I pretty much only played WoW then so I didn't buy many games. Once I quit WoW, I found out about Steam and bought exclusively from there. This year I started branching out a little bit to other digital download sites now that Steam has some good sales competition. I don't care about collector's edition stuff or having a physical game manual. Those things just collect dust after the first week.

It's been a while. I think Portal 2 was my last physical copy purchase from Amazon.com because it was only $29.99 only a week from launch day.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be my next hard copy purchase, also will be from Amazon.com.

I think Half Life 2 was the last boxed copy game I've purchased. Or I might have rebought Diablo 2 sometime afterwards actually..

I'll buy a physical copy of game if I can play it without a disk or download it if my disk stops working for some reason (I always take care of my disks, but sometime they just break lol). For that reason I pretty much only buy Blizzard games in physical copies. I'll probably get Mass Effect 3 CE in a physical copy if it comes with something worth buying in a boxed copy. Does anyone know if you need to a disk to play ME2, or if you will for any upcoming or previous EA titles(with origin, I'm guessing you'll be able to register you boxed games there and have them available for download too)?

I just brought Dead Rising 2 last week and I brought Fallout NV a couple months ago. I've also preordered BF3 and Skyrim which are both physical. I like that these are mine and I'm oldschool, I like my cases!

Starcraft 2, a year ago...

I bought like 5 pc games from gamestop 3 days ago

im thinking about getting swat 4 soon, and im going with physical because it is cheaper. D2D still have it for $19.95....

i got hitman contracts recently, and also splinter cell pandora tomorrow. but that was because i couldn't find DD copies. :)

last thing i bought was God of war 3 special edition boxed in a "Pandoras Box"

Starcraft 2 CE. Before that, WoW:Cataclysm CE, Napolean:TW CE, WoW:FT CE, then i forget.

Basically, only collector's editions for games i care about that have physical goods inside.

Anything I can buy that isn't Steam related I'll buy from Amazon, Newegg, or Best Buy. And even some Steam games like Portal 2. Basically I like having the choice to install games on another HDD and Steam doesn't like that so if the game doesn't require Steam I'll get the hard copy. Also I like to hand my games down to my son and it's easier if their not Steam related.

That said I did get a bunch of games on the Steam sale this summer so I'm not against DD's. But in answer to your question it was either Witcher 2 or Portal 2... can't remember which I bought first.

The other day Metro 2033 and a PS3 game called Vanquish.

DD is becoming the norm for me too, but if brick and mortar offers a better deal, then I'll go there. Last game I bought a physical copy of was Alice 2: Madness Returns.

I think it was Portal 2 :P

Well probably for the GameCube (picked one up not too long ago) Was more than likely the LOZ collectors edition.

Since we plan on getting a 3ds in the future, along with the WiiU, and a PS3. We probably will have a lot of games on physical media.

But when it comes to pc... We haven't bought a physical copy in some time, and don't plan too. Maybe The Old Republic for sheer size of the game, but I much prefer digital copies. (Uses considerably less resources, and don't have the burden of the disc, and not to mention all these wonderful Digital sales througout the year.)
