Physical. So I actually own it. Also love keeping some good tech nostalgia

Digital. Lack of space for physical boxes.

Physical, because it’s impossible to have a real collection if you have all digital games. And if I lose access to my account I can always play the game because I have it physical. I thinks it’s just the best way to have games.

> Physical. Feels like I actually own the game.
it's not just feels, it's reals.
people think they own their digital content until they don't. even outside of service shutdowns, people can find that they lost their entire account due to a ban (which isn't even necessarily from doing anything wrong)
like, in that paypal example those people probably got sorted out eventually, but who knows how long it took. there are also cases where accounts get hacked and there's plenty of reports of sony not being willing to reverse fraudulently made transactions on people's accounts in these cases, which leaves people with the choice of "eat the charges, or do a chargeback and get banned".
a physical disc will ALWAYS work. it can't be revoked, and it doesn't care if sony/ms/nintendo shut down their servers.

Used to buy physical. Got a series x and found out about cd keys. Never brought a disc game again. As for my ps5, got the digital one because I’m used to it now.
And no I don’t watch films on my consoles, I have a dedicated 4k player for that.

Physical so I can resell it

The particular circumstance I was thinking of was a person I saw selling a Switch, and had significantly increased the price because they were selling the account with the digital games too. Could still be a scam 🤷♂️

Waiting for a train. Not mouth breathing in a basement playing Nintendo.

What am I bragging about? You’re making zero sense. Sounds like you’re projecting.

> Oh people will try to resell digital though, it’s the goofiest thing having them try to sell their account info to you.
Lots of times those are scams. Its accounts that purchased the game through fraudulent means (stolen credit cards) and the profile will get banned.

Physical, because i actually own it and no glitch, server shut down, or revocation can ever change that.
Also, i can loan/sell if desired.

A mix, physical to resell if a new release / AAA price but if there’s digital for £15 or under then I tend just to buy in that format. Occasionally I’ll buy digital on a new release if I know I’ll put 100+ hours in (The Division and Battlefield 1, I’m looking at you)

I like to buy them digital because I can’t break the game

Majority of my games are physical, I would say so I can always re sell and make some money back but I don't think I've ever sold a game unless I completely switched console.

I have 3 massive boxes of Ps2 games from the old days I know they take up way too much

It's not for nothin' how much space a few years' worth of game cases can take up. A prolific gamer basically needs a spare room to fill if they both insist on physical games, and never part with them.

I like having the option of buying physical copies and being able to sell and trade games or lend and swap them with friends as I wish and I also enjoy having my own physical games collection and some come with collectors editions, steelbooks, booklets, guides or other goodies like maps etc.
Having the option of buying physical is one of the reasons why I prefer console over PC for gaming.

The Nintendo wii it had wii sports and wii sports resort, how can you ask for any more than those, although my opinion is subjective I do also have to agree with the fact the ps2 is all around the ps2 did have better games and was fun to use I personally am more inclined to go for the wii

My opinion is Xbox is completely pointless. You may as well go for a PC.

I always buy digital because of game sharing on xbox but if I really like the game then I'll buy a copy and just keep it sealed
