    Physical Media Forever

    in this case, it doesnt really matter because you cant play the game without having that initial internet connection, defeating the purpose of having a physical disc

    if the physical discs had the complete game and all its data on there like they used to without that extra component then yeah, physical over digital all day

    Yall don’t even be living in places where doing this made up Scenario makes sense

    anyone breaking in and stealing GTA for any reason should retire from criminal activity

    Nah, you can download the base game without internet. Internet is just needed for updates and day one patches

    yea the downloading aspect kills it for me cause i would purchase physicals to avoid this with digital. almost no advantages to having physical unless you’re a collector imo

    “ f*** yes so glad they got it on physical and not digital which I wouldn’t be able to play or sell “

  • Physical either way because the rights of a digital games and issues can arise and people psn are getting hacked . Which just happened to Colin mortiarty. At least on games I fully support physical . Digital some but never all because I don’t want a digital only future

    Plenty of advantages

    • Having a tangible piece of art
    • Front & back box art
    • Displaying your collection as decoration in your home
    • Always being able to see your entire library rather than just what's installed on your console at the moment
    • For very rare or limited games, having an item that appreciates in value over time if kept in sealed/near-mint condition
    • Not having to worry about the game getting de-listed or removed from your account ever

    Lmao

    Not in that sense but yanno like having a bookshelf or TV stand shelf that houses your games

    Something like this is way cooler than just owning everything digitally:

  • The only real downsides of physical media are storage space and the possibility of the discs not working after a long time, but I haven't had a disc stop working on me since the 360 era tbh

    Sealed San Andreas would hit for me

    need that new game smell to hit again, I’m unsealing immediately

  • If we go digital only and Sony or Microsoft control prices it will never be as good as steam. I don’t trust them in a digital only future . GTA situation I would consider getting both digital and physical

  • Also, physical games are always on sale (except Nintendo)

    Digital games usually remain full price for a while unless part of like a short-term sale or added to a subscription collection

    God of War: Ragnarok is $70 right now on the PlayStation Store, but only $31 brand new on Amazon

    you may have cooked wit this. i unfortunately dont have the space for more physical media but good points made

    you may have cooked wit this. i unfortunately dont have the space for more physical media but good points made

    Yeah the storage aspect is the one major downside

    I'm moving next month and I'm already dreading the thought of packing and carrying all of my games, movies, vinyl, and books

  • buy the digital and just buy the disc when it goes on sale to have it

  • I really can't believe that we made it

  • HaroldsChicken

    Likely delusion but would be a smart move
