I'll never go online only on any system.

Depends on your internet. I just can't afford to at the moment. For example, if i got Titanfall as a digital download. That would take away 50% of my monthly bandwidth.


Dang that's rough! I don't have to worry about that though as I use my parents internet and they can't single me out since everyone else also uses it a ton!

Physical games are much cheaper on Wii U and you can sell them.

The only advantages are the lack of the disk-spinning noise and slightly shorter loading times.


Of course if the physical version is cheaper I'll go for that! 

You forgot about the deluxe promotion!

It would certainly help Nintendo's profit margin if you did.


But the sale wouldn't show up on VGChartz! xD

You would have to have MAJOR storage space, which the extra cost would probably invalidate any savings you otherwise would have required.

Just go to amazon and look for deals. I promise after a few months, games will probably be about half-off.

Maybe there's a difference between the US and Europe, but I usually buy new first party games for less than 40 Euros and they're 49.99 or 59.99 on the eShop.

I bought Rayman Legends on the eShop because I play the challenges every day for 10-15 minutes and don't want to change the disk every time for that.

I also bought AC3 and ZombiU at a sale for 9.99 Euros and sold the physical copies. The loading times improved a little.

Nintendo UK had wrong prices for a few hours and I bought The Wonderful 101 for 8.99 Pounds (still have my physical disk).

A tip: go digital only with games with multiplayer strong, so you will probably mataing it anyway. Games with singleplayer only you can sell and buy used too withut that much concern.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I've only bought one single game digitally that was also available on a disc, Shadow of the Colossus on PS3, I prefer discs and covers and box art and so on.

Keep physical, you can always sell it later if it sucked.



Yep.
