B) If I went Digital, I'd have to pay $100 for the same experience. So, yeah, I'm going to save money, thank you. C) It's just me. I could wait, but I like playing the game as quickly as possible. D) I have the items to take a full console to places (GAEMS G-155 Vanguard), but it's still very meticulous and I'd rather just take the game. E) I could get GTAV used for the same price on Amazon. Also, Sonic Generation for the same price. BUT, here's what I'm talking about: Which would sound more appealing to you? Killzone: Shadowfall (Digital) - $40 VS Killzone: Shadowfall (Retail GameStop) - $20 used Assassin's Creed IV (Digital) - $50 VS Assassin's Creed IV (Retail GameStop) - $40 used Hitman Absolution (Digital) - $20 VS Hitman Absolution (Retail Wal-mart) - $10 new Digital might have price drops every now and again, but on average retail will cost less over a shorter period of time and will save between $10-20 on average. And even if you wouldn't sell the game you don't like, I would and do on average. It means that I can get a spend less on a different game that I'll be more likely to enjoy, and that someone else can buy the game I had at a lower cost. That's why I choose retail. |
A. I have my backups stored on an external HDD. But, I'll give you this. The back-up itself did take 10 hours and 15 minutes to create. To have all of my games back onto a new HDD would take quite some time, I admit.
B. You could have just stayed away from the game. I tried the beta. Hated the game... At least for 60 bucks I hated it. Getting Destiny was never even a consideration in my mind.
C. I can wait, most of the time... I know I wont be waiting on Tekken 7 or Mortal Kombat X, though.
D. Couldn't make sense of what you were saying. What?
E. I do NOT buy used games. At all. Period. I hate them. I don't want someone's old games, I wouldn't do it. Not only that. I like a wide range of games, but I do NOT like Killzone, and I especially hate assassin's creed more than any FPS. I've had a terrible experience with assassin's creed III. I'm not giving them my money again. Period.
As for Hitman: Absolution, I already bought that game digital for 7 dollars. I haven't played it yet, so any more wouldn't even be worth it to me. Digital or physical.
However... I'll also say that I'd much be in favor of a disc based games on PS4 if the file size gets too big. I don't want to wait 2 days for a 50GB game to download, or however long it would take. I don't have that problem on PS3. Most are around 5-10. Rarely hitting anything past 16GB.'
Right now, this thread has learned me two things. It's probably a better idea to go for disc when the file sizes get extreme. It's probably going to be a problem when everything shuts down in the future. Hopefully when the stores shut down, there wont be a need for DRM, and maybe the PS3 consoles will be patched to ignore it. Otherwise, we'd be screwed.
