Digital or Physical

@kelseyb • 120d

Physical, because @codyb collects.

Digital

Physical

@destroythegrave • 208d

I like the tangible aspect of a physical game I own, gives it more meaningful to get it

Digital

@raddad • 227d

I like digital but will pick physical if there is pre order bonuses

Physical

@buster • 233d

Digital started off being cheaper then physical because it doesn't exist on anything other then internal storage. Then gaming companies realized they could just charge the same which is annoying.

Physical

@ottozone • 237d

You can't resell digital. Also, you don't really own the game when you buy digital but rather just get access to it on particular consoles that you own. But, not gonna lie, I love not having to get...more

@fl3rk3n • 261d

Physical because if anything happened to the software or my ps5 broke or something like that I can just put back in the disk without possibly having to spend more money.

Digital

@themadbombchu • 261d

I'm generally a Digital guy. But Nintendo makes digital difficult to deal with on multiple switches and users, so I've been getting more physical lately to keep the kids happy.

Digital

@markacashion • 265d

I only have a few physical games, they are mostly old games, but I do have a few new games that are physical. I rather do digital if I can

Digital

@dennis • 271d

I’ve always loved physical cartridges, but my daughter convinced me to download TotK on the switch. Not having to search for and swap out cartridges had been fantastic

Physical

@mikboy018 • 273d

I have a large collection of big box PC games. Love having the physical copies.

Digital

@enderphoenix • 294d

I mean since my PC has my largest library, I'm forced to answer digital on this one.

Digital

@theb3ardedn3rd • 295d

So I prefer physical option only for my Xbox one and prior. New stuff is digital. It’s the ease of access.

Physical

@jackalope • 295d

I am still a fan of programs like GameFly. There is many of games that are worth getting, playing and sending back ie. Hogwarts Legacy. I also enjoy going to Gamestop and grabbing a game for

@durtymessycan • 295d

As I get older I just want stuff to work and work quick…ain’t no one got time for getting off the couch to swap disc every time I want to play a different game.

Physical

@funkstylee • 296d

I like to think that things retain value. I’m probably just becoming an old man.

Digital

@uxorcist • 297d

I used to be on the physical copy train....I might still be but digital is too convenient and I'm too lazy to get up and switch the game............so... digital 😆 Physical copies are nice though. ...more

@danioverhere • 297d

It’s a lot easier to find a game, when it can’t fall between the couch cushions.

Minimalism!

I really use a mix, but lately I'm not even buying many games and just using game pass and ps+, the switch games I buy are paid for with vouchers. but I did buy Metroid prime physical. and horizon for...more

@wiifu • 301d

I used to be physical but as all first world problems begin I’m too lazy now to swap games out when i can just press a couple buttons

Physical

@falkrons • 301d

This is hard because of the convenience. The biggest downside with digital is that you actually don't "own" anything. If the servers, or system, or platform disapear for that content so does the acces...more

Physical

@jaimecitoamor • 303d

This is becoming an actual internal debate as I am considering a second Switch. I think I like being able to play on multiple devices is what works for me.

Digital

@damnravi • 303d

As much as I like physical copies, digital is just so much easier!

Physical

@jklein8383 • 315d

I like having the cases. Reminds me of simpler times of being a kid. Don't get me wrong, I'll absolutely snag digital if the price is too good to pass up.

Physical

@evolvixon • 315d

We're collectors over here. So Physical all the way!

Physical

@izimmbiplays • 316d

I don’t mind having the digital games. However, I prefer physical copies of games because you usually get posters and hard copies make great collection pieces. Oh yeah, did I mention that I’m a ne...more

@dorsalfin • 353d

Since I play pc I’ll have my games forever whatever pc I have I’ll have them

Physical

@nasko0406 • 411d

Always been one that loves physical copies bc they will be worth something down the road and also the biggest part of my collection.

Digital

@seenitcoveredit • 429d

Used to be a physical guy. But my bones hurt to get up and change the games out now.

Digital

@zonkedwheat9999 • 450d

It’s easer

Physical

@gongshowdad • 450d

Physical for single player games. Digital for multiplayer.

Digital

@madharryrackham • 452d

Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the strictly physical copy days, but digital is more convenient for sure.

Physical

@lightning • 453d

Always been a fan of the hard case, but I will admit to buying Digital for the ease.

Physical

@shartbus • 461d

If I can have it on physical, I want it on physical. Same way with music.

Digital

@bammonty • 487d

I’m too lazy to get the things or remember where I would put things

Physical

@codydavis • 487d

Sharing...selling... Oh the possibilities! But honestly wish they would come up with some middle ground on this.

Digital

@justsayingsoican • 522d

I'm lazy

Digital

@daddymang • 560d

I still have some old cartridges for the nostalgia, but you can't really beat the convenience of digital.

Digital

@badintel • 563d

I understand the idea of wanting to stay with physical, and I'll occasionally still pick up a physical copy of a Switch game here and there, but 99.999% of the time, I'm getting a digital download, wh...more

Never bought a game, so whatever the husband buys.

@mariomaestro • 570d

I'm still old school enough to want to answer this way, but the only thing holding me back is Nintendo's user-unfriendly setup for families with multiple Switches. Until there is some fix or compromis...more

@tootslaroo • 580d

I'm to lazy to change the disc or cartridges

Digital

@jpegmario • 582d

Easier to purchase. The only physical copy I have is Mario kart ha

Physical

@seth • 582d

I attempt to go physical for my Switch, everything else on PC is digital and usually bought through key resell sites.

Physical

@then3rddad • 582d

I gotta see them on a shelf. Like little trophies

Digital

@cknbromein • 584d

Collecting is nice but I don’t have the space. I like to download and go

Digital

@mcitaly • 585d

Ill lose the physical disc eventually.

Physical

@blockmamba • 585d

I want to be able to resell games I end up not liking. That trumps the laziness factor in my opinion.

Digital

@thetrip70 • 586d

Incredibly too lazy to insert a disc.

@codyb • 588d

First reason is I guess I am old school and prefer to have physical copies of games. The collector side of me loves to see and display them. Second reason would be resell value. My side hustle/second...more

@whitethunder • 589d

It saves on clutter and I care not about reslae value

Physical

@darthsmeagol • 589d

I’m old school - I like having the physical copies. 1) Resale value (an ironic argument as I’d never sell most of them). 2) Wait long enough and you can get great deals on used games. 3) Nothin...more

@bitzdad • 589d

I'm old

Digital

@alden • 589d

I get disproportionately frustrated when I have to change out cartridges for Nintendo games. You mean I have to LEAVE THE COUCH?

Physical

@mistermez • 589d

I can't go to gamestop and get 50 cents for my digital games...

Digital

@rusty6713 • 589d

I used to be big on the physical for the trade in part, however the speed of switching games while all digital is amazing now. I am also far more careful with purchases.

Physical

@buddhastank • 589d

I gotta say physical. Digital is nice but it just feels like you are borrowing the game.

Digital

@thunder • 589d

Physical if it were 25 years ago...this day and age, digital. Now, I would never be able to keep track of all the games I had as a child!!!

Physical

@joob • 589d

Physical just seems more permanent to me, and I like having a tangible collection. But for games I know I’ll come back to over and over I go digital (Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, etc)

Physical

@nanner • 589d

I used to be all digital until i realized Walmart sold games for $10 cheaper. I'm cheap.

Digital

@mase • 589d

Digital has it's issues, but then I remember blowing on those cartridges, game discs having one scratch/not being able to play, and losing my memory cards all the time.

Digital

@rey • 589d

Digital plus giant SD card.

Physical

@froggy • 589d

I like to think that there is resale value.... But I know I'll never sell them.

Physical

@jedijohann • 589d

I'm old

Physical

@laughatbrian • 589d

I wish I could just say F it and only do digital but yeah...I like having the collection. If they did it right and actually made digital games cheaper thennnnnnn...

Physical

@trashdoc16 • 589d

I get the convenience of digital, but I absolutely love having the physical copies to look at and collect.

Physical

@gargada • 589d

Don’t have to worry about not being able to access the games.

Digital

@ohtwotwo • 589d

I have kids. It's easier to go digital rather than having their tiny little hands destroying physical copies. It's easier to keep up with everything too.

Digital

@geodad • 589d

100% digital, less clutter and the ability to organize this in a digital setting, physically ur always gonna have limitations. But for nostalgia I will ways keep a few things physical

Digital

@jdaviesiii • 589d

Digital media = less physical clutter. Just need to be more digitally organized.

Digital

@dan • 589d

So I get the benefits of physically having the thing but the convenience of digital is just too much. This is especially true in the age of the Switch. Even my transfer from PS4 to PS5 was seamless.
