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... 

 

With phisical you can also lend, borrow and swap with your friends. And resell or collect, of course.

Long story short, with digital you don't really OWN the game, but just the right to play it.
