Do you buy primarily physical or digital games?

I play mostly PC so because of steam I am entirely digital for pc(not like theres really a choice though). I also have a Switch and PS4 and for those I only buy physical games. Whats your primary system and secondaries?

Re: Do you buy primarily physical or digital games?

Well I bought an XBOX One S All Digital Edition on Black Friday for a very good price and I have been content with it. With all the stuff a house or apartment has today finding room for physical media can be a pain in the you know what. I've been digital only for quite some time now. Steam included. At least you don't have to wait for shipping in the mail. However................. Some ISPs still impose data download limits. So you have to be mindful of that. My husband and I never go over the 1.2 TB limit that Comcast imposes. Average is 300gb per month.

Re: Do you buy primarily physical or digital games?

I don't think I have purchased a physcial copy in 6 or 7 years.  

 

I have not even had a gaming computer with a DVD or BluRay drive in it for that long. 

 

I still buy games from BB when they have the $10 reward.  I generaly decline the Steel book or toss in the garbage on my way out the door if I forget.

I buy Physical for everything but PC. I don't trust digital. If the stores ever shut down and there was no way to get the games I paid for I would not be very happy. At least on physical, I will always have a copy of the game. Not only that but you can sell or let a friend borrow physical copies.
