What do you mean by their account was compromised? Was it hacked by someone else or did Sony shut it down because he hacked the PS4?

Yeah. He said his account was compromised. Plus I know people who cant access their account.

1. I dont trust Sony / MS / Ninty with digital. Their price is not right compared to steam. Just look at them.

2. Still, in steam even if the hardware dies there is no tension. But in consoles its an issue despite having backup. This is why I havent purchased PS+ or digital stuffs from PSN.

3. I know many people who lost lots of digital games because their accounts were suspended because of hacking. Saw a guy who playfire who lost £2000 games because his account was compromised.

4. I am old fashioned. The appeal of owning retail copy is just awesome. None can replace it.


2. and 3. I can't comment on. On 1., I do agree: they tend to overprice games, but there are times that they put right prices on digital-only games (think of exclusive-digital only games on each console, for example). It's either purchasing it them or no purchasing them at all.

 

And on 4., I am old fashioned too. I love retail; but what happens with these digital-exclusive only games? There's the problem :P

You can always do a back-up copy of the data of your 360/PS3's HDD info on your PC, just in case severs one day close, so the data stored in your hard drive will be forever safe; no games lost.

 

Can't say the same with PS4/Xbox One. I think the digital model on last-gen consoles was fine.


Retail copies are awesome. Dont you think. I better own this broken box rather than an "icon" at steam.

That's funny, because I also happen to own that broken box

Well that is pretty bad. I'm on the fence with the whole thing but leaning towards digital. People on here seem to like it & my internet can handle it. I do agree that digital has its cons though.
