Digital, I don't want to pay 90 dollars for a game in my country. But yeah, I know is better "touch and feel" the game.

What would you want more a real girlfriend or one thats on the pc online. lol

Im only do physical copies. I like to touch and hold my games. Gives me a feel that i own it. Also if i feel like trading , selling or giving it away i can.
Plus you can find real games on sell while digital normally dont go on sell that often.


Are you kidding? You're comparing a person to a video game.. alright.

If you think that in the future these physical copies of Wii U games will be worth dead crap, you're wrong, everyone nowadays has this stupid mentality that it's going to happen, they make "collector's editions" including a piece of crap soundtrack with a few songs, a crappy artbook you will skim over once and some stupid piece of video game memorabilia. Your digital games aren't just going to be wiped of the face of the planet one day, you people are acting like you were born in the 50's. GET WITH THE TIMES, DIGITAL WILL TAKE OVER REAL SOON. I will be buying physical copies as it's a whole lot easier to acquire for me right now, but be sure that I will buy the digital copy if it's significantly cheaper, because I'm not a fool, if I can save money on something that's not a necessity, I will.

I think his point was kinda like, that would you rather have a "girlfriend" that you can physically touch and feel (giggity) and take with you where ever you go, lend to a friend (erm...) then trade in when you're bored with "her" (ooh, harsh!...but fair.) or one that you cant?
I hear voices in my head all the time, telling me what to do. But I just ignore them and carry on killing.

All of my launch titles were physical but I plan to switch over to digital in all cases where I can.

Benefits

  • You can never lose the game due to a damaged/lost disc. My dog chewed up two when she was a puppy; cases and all so yay! Another $120 that I had to spend to get them back.
  • You don't have to change a disc. With the WiiU I can now play while cooking or at my desk.
  • They don't take up space around the house. I don't know about you guys but I have tons of games from NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS 1, PS 2, PS 3, Vita, 3DS, Virtual Boy, Sega, 32x, Sega CD and frankly I'm running out of room to put all that crap.

That's Why I barely can move in my room and I'm turning a spare bedroom into a game room. Lol

physical copies are better because you can re-sell then once you have finished them, also physical copies are mostly cheaper than the digital copies.

If it's an eShop exclusive game and I think I'll be playing it for quite some time(minimum: $7 game mines I should play it for over 7 hours) I'll download. If it's also available as physical I'll think it bit more on it. If I know I'll really like it and play it more than once or know I'll frequently come back to it, I'll download.

Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.
