Tbh i really don't get all that digital hate. Is there an apparent reason/drawback over it?

I got like 20 games on my vita (excluding free ps plus) and only 2 are hard copies.

Elaborate plz


When it comes to moving on, having a physical game still has resell value, which for the less commonly found titles, may even be more than you originally paid for the game.

When it comes to selling up a console with digital titles, they add no value whatsoever to the sale (sold a Wii with a couple of hundred quid worth of WiiWare/Virtual console stuff and barely got any more for it than a bog standard system with nothing would have raised)

Mainly though, if you do keep the system, and PSN goes belly up/they stop supporting "legacy" systems, if your console packs in you've lost the lot.

I do have quite a lot of digital titles, but my priority goes towards buying physical releases. It's just a better way to own the game for the most part.

So it's all about selling your stuff? I don't sell anything i buy:)

If that's the only reason, then i find all the hate a bit overwhelming...
