Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
With my 1gb unlimited internet, there’s no issue installing/uninstalling and keeping everything organized digitally. This was a hard decision cause I do like having the discs and being able to resel...more
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
I go digital now. Part of the reason is I have an Xbox Series S so I don't have a choice. Now with Switch I go physical but its kinda annoying. You do save space on your Switch but the cartridges are ...more
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 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)
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
