Of course. I prefer digital games already and this gen, I've only bought 1 physical X1 game. Of course on Nintendo systems, digital games are too expensive and the Wii U's memory is tiny, so I won't be buying anymore digital games on the Wii U.

No i wouldn't

I already buy digital on steam so on console I want physical.



 

 

yes I would for some games



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

It would take me days to get to the nearest retailer, so I'm 100% digital. The digital prices are unreasonably high, compared to their physical counterparts.



I buy digital if it's $10 cheaper than physical right now, so if everything were that much cheaper, I'd pretty much be digital only.

I love my physical copies but I can never ignore Sony's $0.99 Flash Sale. =P



I've gone largely digital on my Wii U for that reason. Back when the Deluxe Digital Promotion and Club Nintendo were in place, combined with holiday sales on eShop cards at Best Buy, it was like I was getting 30%+ off games. Now that those are through though, I've mostly gone back to physical. Unless it's a game I know I want to keep forever and that I want easy access to.

I buy digital if there's no other way, and have considered it for online-only titles I'll be jumping & out of. But otherwise physical is where it's at, nothing like having a physical copy in hand, able to lend, trade & sell.


I kinda do the same at the moment with online games I know I will end up playing on and off for the next 6-12 months or games I know I will keep and play all of the DLC they will be getting and singleplayer games that you can easily breeze through in a week or two I get retail and resell.



For smaller games, sure. For bigger games, no.

If my internet speed was a lot faster, then definitely yes.



No. I like physical. I can trade my physical game for another physical game that i want, when i'm finished with it.
