@ bolded.
I wouldn't be able to download the mandatory updates that I mentioned before that are plaguing physical games. So how is that different from digital in that regard?
But if I have them all downloaded why would I worry about server being down or getting myself hacked?
Honestly what is your most rare game? Do you want to carry it with you for 2O years so that one day you would sell it for 30 dollars more? Would you actually buy a 300 dollar shelf just to keep rare safe and pile up all that space instead of just Saving that 300 dollars and saving space?
If you mean recent used games you would buy them for 60 and sell them for 6. The price you would pay for gas to get there is far more expensive anyways. So it's not even worth it, and if the game is online only or if it has a mandatory update it's totally useless.
Not to mention if the game is scratched or damaged then it would be even more useless.
I'd rather wait for a game to go down to 10-20 dollar price and download it digitally it's faster and easier and saves me a looooootttt of money.
by the way where I'm at new games are priced 70 dollars because I don't live in the US, so there is that too, they rarely go below the 20$ price tag even if old, on steam they go down to 9 dollars in discounts plus you can get the dlcs too for cheap. It is way much better for me to go all the way to the store (far, not always available, time consuming and gas prices)
On another subject I wouldn't have read all the books I read if it wasn't for digital ebooks since almost all western books are not available here for culture and religious reasons (a lot get banned) same for games like suikoden for example I would never played that if it wasn't released in PSN ,i would rather wait and play it for 5 bucks than to buy it for 300 plus shipping because it got rare so Tldr I'm all for digital. For my favorite books and games though i buy them physically but that's very rare these days.
