| BasilZero said: Yep, I have rebought almost all of the physical titles I had digitally (for far cheaper lol). For my Xbox library, I dont have a single physical title out of the 600+ titles I have across all the Xbox gens. For PS5, I only have FFXVI physically which was the last physical title I bought which was 2023. And for Switch 2 - I dont plan to buy anything physical. And ya I'm not worried about ownership/etc as well. Its not like the full game is on discs/cartridges these days. For movies and TV shows, I'm 100% digital too, only subbed to streaming and I've never owned a blu-ray player or any blu-ray discs |
Same here, I have EVERYTHING digital. Since Steam came out basically :)
As soon as games became available digitally on Xbox 360 I started to buy them online. The convenience it brings is just way better than having the physical copies.
The fearmongering about the fact that you do not own the game is ridiculous today. The 0.0000000001% of the time I could not start my game for some technical reason (usually did not last for more than a few minutes) is nothing compared to the disk being scratched, the battery for the cartridge being dead, the optical reader of the console being dead, etc.
Digital is just the way to go:
- Less plastic/garbage...
- No need to worry about losing anything or having your physical media broken or scratched.
- One thing that people forget about: emulation. Games can be emulated on newer systems without the need to read the media if you have the digital version of it (Nintendo is doing it, Microsoft is doing it, and Sony is doing it).
Without those games being available (or dumped) digitally, emulation would not be possible unless you got a compatible reader for that game media.
