This is due to a number of reasons, the foremost being small storage drives and woeful digital prices. But very slow download speeds is another. Plus, when it comes to console games, I actually enjoy having my covers on a shelf next to the TV, it's simply an important a part of my decoration. It's different on the PC, it's in its own room, and there's limited space, and people rarely see it, whereas the consoles and their games are in the living room, out in the open and being part of a whole scene. |
Yes having a couple nice stacks of games and movies to look forward to next to the tv is much better finding what I have started playing / haven't played yet in a digital menu. Plus if I can't remember the name of a game or movie, all I have to do is look at my shelves. Much faster to find stuff in my physical 'library' then looking through Steam, GoG, Humble bundles, Netflix played list, PSN library mess, Xbox purchase history, Nintendo don't even know where to look.
For music I still live by albums. I don't play individual songs, but have lots of favorite albums I can easily find by album cover.
The one disadvantage of physical is my kids putting the discs back in the wrong cases grrr. I finally found the missing case for a CD that has been migrating between currently playing albums for months lol. Digital is more kid proof!
