I like both. You can get great games cheap on a flash sale and not having to swap disks is nice with younger kids in the house. And as someone else said there are instances (for me Overwatch) where I only have to buy the game once and my son and i can play online together with the second PS4. Upgrading drive space isn't that expensive, I have 4 TB on my WiiU and just put a 2 TB drive in my PS4 and it's only half full.

I prefer digital on handheld devices. Less games to carry around, the better.

With consoles, I almost always go physical, unless there's a decent sale to motivate me otherwise.

Physical. No thx on digital. I hardly ever play play digital games. I guess I just like owning them and not renting.



Nope, steam rules.



Digital is the superior choice for me, as I have all my games in one place and it saves me on space, money and it's easier for me to carry with me. Also I'm not the type who loves buying games and then suddenly deciding I never ever want to play them anymore (aka trading in).

Digital is also a lot cheaper for me than physical, with only a few instances where the physical is slightly cheaper.

I hate digital. Physical for life. I have purchased games again just to have the disc.



No, but I do prefer physical over digital

For me DRM-free physical is the best, then DRM-free digital.
Physical with not annoying DRM is acceptable, digital too if it's really cheap.
Annoying DRM definitely sucks both on physical and digital.
This obviously on PC, as consoles are proprietary environments and some form of DRM is needed by platform owners to enforce their royalty system.
Digital is obviously the most viable solution for smartphone and tablet and in general for F2P games, but on portable consoles for paid games I'd choose physical, unless the property and usability of the digital copy is granted even after the platform owner terminates the online support.
