I buy physical most of the time, so that I can resell my games. But, I'm too busy to resell often these days. So, I think digital will likely get an increasing portion of my gaming spend going forward. If I'm not going to resell, I prefer the convenience of digital. With that said, I won't pay significantly more for a digital game. So, if the game is a year or more old, and I don't want to wait for a sale, I'm likely going to go with a used, physical copy.

Quite frankly even digital games these days are quite cheap if you keep an eye out

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

On consoles, I am around 70% digital. I prefer having all the games that I like on physical form, I love collecting them. The digital games that I own, are mostly deals on games that I wasn't gonna go out of my way to get but seemed a bit interesting.

On PC it's a different story, 100% digital. There is no reason to get anything physical since you get a code almost always anyways.

Last I checked I'm 100% physical, all the atoms in my body are physical =p

I buy all the games I like physical, only buy digital when the discount is very very big and I don't care much about the game.

Games that aren’t physical don’t exist to me.

For games, I'm mostly digital (no streaming), Music and movies are all physical.

The only games I buy physical editions of, are CDPR collector's editions.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... WAIT... are you saying that when you want to listen to a song you actually fish out the CD and put it in a CD player like cavemen used to do?



Signature goes here!

Records on a recordplayer are actually the best quality

Heh, of course not. I have them ripped on my PC (technically the music is already digitally on the CD before you rip it). But I also listen to a lot of records as well.
