Digital saves on storage space and I don’t have to deal with shopping or waiting on deliveries. I typically only play a game 1/2 times then I’m done with it.

It’s all ways risky buying from eBay but if you think it is what is is go for it looks good in orange.

Physical if it’s cheaper than digital, digital normally because it removes the hassle of putting discs in and shit

No its whichevers cheaper to me at the time for example minecraft physically is approximately £12 where I am whereas minecraft digitally is like £10 so I'd buy it digitally if I were to buy it. I dont actually like minecraft I'm just using it as an example

I have gone all digital since I would say 2015 /2016, yes it is nice to have the physical copy of a game and display your games on a shelf or whatever.
I find having having digital games is just more convenient, all your games are right there ready to load, also with the newer console’s you can have the games auto update so you don’t have to wait for them to update when you put the disc in.

Is that accounting for resale?

discs die too. I had Diablo III as the only game in my Xbox One for about three years, never even removed it, as it was the only physical I owned. Around the start of the pandemic the Xbox wouldn't register the disc anymore and wouldn't start Diablo II.

Well finished with the console, and sell the console to you with the login info to keep the digitals. It's sketchy and I've personally never made any transaction with someone like that.

People sell their accounts because they’re finished with a game??? Maybe I really am old because that’s insane. I wonder how much my account would be worth, I’ve bought plenty of games and had it since 2008.

Physical as technically you don't own the digital version. So if they decide to delist it, you won't be able to download it again. This very thing happened to me with Driveclub on the PlayStation. I do buy digital if heavily reduced.

Oh people will try to resell digital though, it's the goofiest thing having them try to sell their account info to you.

Physical. Mostly for the ability to resell one day (which admittedly rarely happens...) Been shopping for used Switch bundles and it's so goofy seeing people selling their account information to include their digital games.

I’m from the old school, physical all the way, you can’t resell or loan out a digital copy. Plus it’s nice to feel like you’ve actually purchased something.

Physical as much as possible

Digital, way easier. I like to play lots of different games at once instead of focusing on just one and changing disc’s constantly is annoying. Also disc drives die.

Physical because having a big stack of games gives me the happy chemical. Also means I've got something to sell if I'm in a pinch.
99% of the time I buy digitally nowadays though because I'm a lazy sack of shit and I can preinstall most games.

Physical because if you download it takes ages to be downloaded enough to play and having Physical it just satisfying when you first buy it
