| VAMatt said: With Best Buy and Amazon programs, nobody in the US should pay more then $48 plus sales tax for a new physical console game, unless it is a collectors edition. So, the market has spoken, and that's what they're worth. Personally, I don't like to buy digital games, because they are almost always more expensive than physical. However, I'm starting to value the convenience of not having to change disks to play different games. Still, I don't buy AAA games digitally unless they're old, and cheap. I'm thinking I may buy Destiny 2 digitally though, as I will likely be playing if off-and-on for years, and I don't want to do all of that disk switching. |
I never cared for that, until I started playing in VR. Switching disks with a headset on, no. Take it off, get it back on just right and find the controllers again, hassle.
On the other hand, since I have the luxury of both a ps4 and ps4 pro, it sucks when the digital game I want to play is on the 'wrong' console. Can't simply pop in the disk and start it (after a short install). Plus my shelf of psvr games looks kinda sad, while tons of great games sit on my ps4 taking up hdd space.
On the left foot, I paid more for a physical version of Syberia 3, only to come home to it downloading the entire game as a day 1 patch. Still couldn't play until the next day. How useful are physical editions nowadays, apart from being able to sell/trade them.
On the right foot, I bought Journey physical edition when it came out (already owned all the games) to have it all together with some extras. However only the digital versions granted me the ps4 versions of Flow, Flower and Journey. Physical only works on ps3. I did not triple dip in the ps4 physical edition.
Paying $60 (or CAD 80 here) for a digital license, don't think I'll ever do that.
