Poll: Do you buy games digitally or on disk?

[BowdonUK]

I used to purposely buy disc. But with my recent incapacity I'm delving 100% digital.

 

[Sandycheeks]

I tend to buy digital copies from places like G2a for the xbox for the convenience.
I usually buy older games though when the price is way down. Currently playing assassins creed origins which was around £10 for the deluxe edition.

Don't think I've bought a game on disc in about 10/15 years now. Mad to think really!

Are those ps1 games still available to buy digitally ?

I believe so yes, one of them was Syphon Filter 3 which became available on the PS5 around the time the new PS Plus tiers were added. I assume you can purchase them individually.

Can't even remember the last disc based game i bought.

Disk, I got burnt day one on PS5 with Demon Souls and Spiderman - both of which I couldn't get into

 

[XeNoN89]

I get both, probably more on disk due to cheaper prices and the ability to resale/trade in once I'm done. I do like the convenience of digital though so get those when the price is right

I always try to get disc, pick them up months after release sometimes longer for vastly cheaper second hand. And they still have some value, unlike digital.

Since buying a ps5 I have not purchased 1 single physical game . Just don’t see the point anymore

My max spend on a game on PSN store is 15.99 for a star wars triple bundle….

Yeah, this is essentially me - I just meant if I bought a new game tomorrow its on disk (for the exact reasons you give)

 

[Netguy]

Which ever is cheaper I guess.

The Crew is being pulled by UBISOFT

The Crew Delisted From All Digital Storefronts, Servers Shut Down Early 2024 - IGN

Ubisoft has delisted The Crew on all digital video game storefronts, with the servers set to shutdown at the end of March 2024.

www.ign.com

"In addition to The Crew being removed from purchase on all digital platforms, Ubisoft revealed on the Steam page that the servers will remain online until March 31, 2024. After that, "the game will not be accessible anymore."

I think this is also the disc version.

Digital these day as I only buy couple of games which I play pretty much all year around.

 

[Ewan154]

Digital games here.

 

[Hutch]

I like buying disc games 2nd hand. Saves a bit and i tell myself i can sell them on after but then i never bother

 

[eurokage]

Consoles usually disc, for resalability. PC is always digital.

 

[Hugest_UK]

On PC digital but on console usually disk just to have the option of reselling if needed down the line. Plus games are too expensive digitally and can usually be purchased cheaper on console on disk. If they lowered the price of digital or allowed digital trading this would probably change.

 

[Five.Stars]

Digital is so much more convenient. But with that convenience you have to accept that the game has no resale value. Most of my game purchases over last couple years have been digital.

Digital really should be less expensive for a variety of reasons.
