[QUOTE="Attila13, post: 9963171, member: 264630"] While I see the benefits and ease of access going digital, my pick still remains on physical. Why? Because with the digital copies you "own" you never know when that can be revoked out of nowhere. With the shady stuff that companies are doing these days and after the Ubisoft DLC controversy lately, you can never know if some day you'll be revoked of your game license "ownership". And the second reason is that you can never know when you can remain without internet, even if it's getting more and more stable and fast in many places, there are still places where it's pretty bad, and having a game be up to 50GB+ could take up to 15+ hours to download. Or if you visit someone for a longer period of time and they don't have internet for whatever reason, and want to bring your console with you, with a disk/cartridge you just insert it, if it has to install, wait for 5-10 minutes and done. But on PC I go with digital too. Steam never let me down since I started using it 13 years ago and don't think it will in the near future. So for consoles, I choose physical, for PC I go digital. But in the end, the most important thing is to enjoy your media no matter on what it comes on. [/QUOTE]
