Physical or Digital?

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 3:11 pm

I've not even owned a CD/DVD drive since 2004 or so. I have no use for physical media. Digital only.

Physical! I have all my games on display on a looooong shelf. I consider collecting the boxes a big part of my gaming hobby.

May buy Digital for the first time, honestly cause the other Fallouts I still play. So I'm never gonna sell it to gamestop anyways.

Physical copy for me. For some games (Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, etc.), I will go for a digital download, but for a game series I like Fallout, I have to own a physical copy.

For a game series I truly love, physically opening the game in my hands is part of the initial experience.

Also, nothing beats that new game smell. (<-- not a joke)

I buy digital now, but for Fallout 4 it was always going to be physical. The smell of the manual, the nostalgia of putting the disk in to play for the very first time, the way it looks on my shelf... pure bliss.

Physical. Nothing beats having a nice steelbook edition and everything. Digital only games are not even worth half for me.

I have physical copies of all their other games, but nothing in the physical copies offered appeal to me so I'm just going to save the shelf space and download it from STEAM this time.

I originally preordered a physical copy, but the pre-load and lack of having to go to EB at midnight made me switch to Digital.

I still buy everything on a physical medium: games, music, movies, they all come on discs in my house. It's mostly habit I think. I grew up in a location that had really, REALLY, unreliable internet. I could download things, but it'd involve me sitting there resetting the router and manually restarting downloads praying that the downloader was good enough to not simply cache at predetermined intervals that I couldn't reach before a dropout.

I've got over fifteen years of enjoyment on my shelves: everything from books, to films, to music, and the biggest of all, video games. I just love being able to look over my shelves and reminisce. All those memories. I'll keep doing it this way until media just plain isn't sold on plastic anymore. Plus there's a still a few benefits of having the physical copy: mostly in music as digital copies have shoddy sound quality compared to my own CD rips.

PS: These days, especially with PC games physical basically gives you all the benefits of digital as well, so yeah.

I'm getting both as I bought it digital first for the preload so I can play it literally the minute it unlocks and I'll get it on disk later.

My personal preference is digital for all forms of media, including games, music, movies, TV shows, and books.

I am particularly in favor of digital distribution for games because I hate the damage that physical retailers, like Gamestop, are causing the industry as well as consumers.

Obviously, I will be purchasing Fallout 4 digitally.

I'm buying it digital, as I have every other Fallout game. And most PC games in general.
