Never digital unless its the only means of obtaining something.

This is me also

Disk, especially on Nintendo consoles with the way Nintendo ties games to the hardware & not the account.

[Guy Fieri]

I always go physical, unless the game is download only.

[Hank Hill]

Never thought of that but would be great. One question though, what keeps you from reselling the disc after you download the game?

 

And that is the exact reason why nobody offers the exact thing 3Dude suggested. It's just a huge risk/monetary loss on the developers part.

 

As for the topic at hand: I prefer physical whenever I can get it. It also depends on how much something is. Like with PS+, I'll happily go digital as it's only $50 a year and gives me a ton of great stuff.

I prefer all digital and I have no qualms with digital rights management.

I prefer digital, but have trouble finding good deals digitally on the Wii U (Steam, on the other-hand...)

Console gaming is terrible for digital. You'll find games that are months old and are still at full price while the physical counterpart is half price at retail.

True, I only buy new games digitally, otherwise it's usually a rip-off.

The console manufacturers should take a leaf out of Valve's book when it comes to digital downloading.

I hear that.

Thing is digital stuff is pulled a lot. TMNT reshelled was pulled. Skullgirls nearly was forever. A game I been trying to play again for 20 years Xmen the arcade was pulled after less than a year. Because Marvel do this kinda crap.

 

I will always get physical if avail and again never buy retail full priced games digital. Physical even if rare is always out there no matter how popular or obscure. That's the issue with digital sure maybe the super mega popular be there much longer but many others will not. Also whenever the HDD crashes and the service or game is no longer avail. Can't re download.  Physical it's not an issue. I want to play it in 20 years like everything else esp with a game I got great memories out of.

 

I won't spend more than 15$ as a general rule and usually keep it under 10$ and 5 is the prefered on a digital game. Never spend more than 3$ on DLC

 Game.co.uk is a brilliant website though, it's just a shame it has limited stock.

I liked Gamestation when they had it. Let me import Xenoblade and The Last Story. GAME is like GS only somehow worse which I did not even know was possible.

this topic has really hit home. I bought sonic lost worlds as it was cheaper than digital. I HATE having to take one game out and put i nanother. I am all for digital all games I buy are usually digital.

Digital has really been growing on me for transportation reasons as well.  It's so easy to just move the Wii U and my HD around, and not have a pile of game cases to bring with me...
