I don't hate digital but i prefer having a physical copy not just to look at but for me it's just so much quicker to go to a shop and buy a game than to download it. For now, while my internet remains slow it's download for indie games and PS+ games and physical for everything else. I dread to think how long it would take me to download Titanfall if i was to buy an Xbox One. Probably days to download something of that size (40gb).. It took me 3 hours just to download Pikmin 3, (5gb) which is a decent size download now. So for now, physical is more convenient although download in the background and midnight pre-loading along with a fast internet connection may change that. The big three must also sort out there pricing for download versions of retail games though. That is a major problem. £50 to £60 a game is just a rip off when a physical copy is £40 to £45.

Also i don't see why it matter for home consoles if it's physical or not. Loading isn't massively different i haven't found. On handhelds it's different though and due to the portability is also way more convenient. And to keep it from going on any longer, i share alot of other people's concerns with download only
