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 

Yes.  That's why I said "if....I don't want to wait for a sale"

I always buy physical.......unless.....it's a game im uncertain I may buy it digitally if its cheap/wait for it be free on PSN and then if its good ill buy the physical. If its bad then i dont want that physical sh** in with the rest of my good sh** lol



I am 100% digital since my disc drive had errors. I am open to going back to physical when I get a new console though, but it seems unlikely since I live in a different country now and I don't want physical copies in a different language.



Books 100% physical
Music 100% physical (apart from beat saber dlc)
Movies to own 100% physical, but I do use Netflix more nowadays than watch blu-ray
Games 50/50. A lot of VR games don't have a physical edition, but I just bought blood & truth on disc today. Given a choice I go for physical editions.



On XBO im 31% physical and 69% digital. On my Switch i'm 57% physical and 43% digital.



Around the Network

100% Physical with the exception of Indies.

I can't imagine why somebody would buy a $60 Switch game as digital. Nintendo games hold their value very well. Switch has a very small harddrive.



my internet is to slow to be downloading crap



100% physical, more often than not I end up buying a good number of games before buying the console to play said games. If there is no physical version of a game I'll buy it at full price or wait for heavy discounts depending on the effort the publisher put in the series, specially for big publishers. For example, even if I disliked the decision I paid full price for Ace Attorney 5 and 6 because Capcom tried with physical releases before for the series and they judged that it didn't work for them. The same can't be said about NoA and it's decision to skip Fatal Frame 4 for the Wii and bring Fatal Frame 5 as a digital-only release for a Wii U with barely any new releases at that point in time, that alone made me wait for a heavy discount before buying the game (... and I'm still waiting for it)



PC - 100% steam

Consoles - 100% physical (although meaningless number if day one patch is huge these days)



 

 

I only ever get console games physical if it's available but that's a very rare occurrence these days. Not ideological but just because I don't want to download 60+ gigs.

I haven't bought any console games the past year so I'm pretty much 0% right now. Any other media I'm also 0%.
