Done with Physical

In Response To: Physical copies 4 Life! *NM* (Gravemind)

It's definitely a personal preference thing. I still love the smell of a printed manual (pour one out for those), like box art (Chrono Trigger... swoon), and like scanning a shelf looking for a game to play.

It just doesn't override:


  • Being able to access any of my games on any body's XB1/PS4 without having to bring my whole collection

  • Having the games I purchased in other countries STILL work here in the US, I still have a physical US Copy of Mirror's Edge that I haven't played because it won't work on my UK 360. I don't have that issue with any of my Digital purchases

  • I hate wanting to play something different and having to get up, if it's an option to be able to switch quickly from Destiny to MCC, then I want it. Heck I love being able to switch from playing Destiny on my XB1 to playing Rocket League on my PS4 in seconds, not minutes, while we all try to find which box our RL disc is in

  • I don't ACTUALLY like going to midnight releases or having to physically go to a store to buy something that is inherently digital, that we have turned a digital good into a physical good is a very interesting concept that's getting discussed here. I'm just excited that when I wake up Oct 27th, I'll have Halo 5 ready to play (yes, I have 1gb down fiber, and yes nothing is actually wired, so it's more like 400mb down...)

I do mourn the loss of gifting. Even as a 31 year old, it was really nice to have a list of games that I would love to get as a gift, or to give my brother in law as a gift, but now I'm like "uhhhh I like JCrew and liquor?? I guess?"
