| -Ack!- said: Physical any day, gaming is also about collecting, games have sentimental value and memories attached to them. Digital doesn't count as a collection, it has to be something concrete, something I can hold in my hands. On a sidenote: I don't really get those guys that speed through games and resell them as quickly as possible, this is not about money this is about passion! |
It depends on the game. I wanted to experience The order 1886, enjoyed it, but was not passionate enough about it to keep it on the shelf. Thus it was a nice detuctable towards Bloodborne, which can stay on the shelf. I also bought the Journey collection although I already had all the digital versions. Physical gives you the choice to end up with a collection of awesome games, a digital library quickly becomes a mess :/
Ironically the digital version of Journey gives me access to a free upgrade to the remaster, while the physcial version does not. The physical version has the soundtracks though. Can't have too many versions of the best, I've got 2 DVD versions of Monoke and 2 blu-ray versions lol.
When my ps3 broke I had to redownload all the psn games, it sucked. Apart from having to split it over 2 months thanks to my isp I also could not find everything. That was just the digital only titles. Now with games getting to 50GB I would have to split it over a year after a hdd failure... It's already the case with Steam, check internet usage, pick and choose what game to download on Steam. So even if I wanted to go all digital it would be a severly limiting move.
I'll keep collecting physical versions of the stuff I love, however I'll admit one disadvantage of physical is my kids getting the cases all sticky...
