PS4 disc or download games? - Ars Technica OpenForum
PS4 Buying Digital Download vs Physical Disc -The Complete Breakdown As a recent owner of the PS4, I've decided that for this generation I will either buy all my games in digital or in physical discs. Should I buy GTA 5 Ps4 disc or download it? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Since all PS4 games are installed on the hard drive and only really use the disc to make sure it's real, there should be little to no difference between the disc version and digital version. The only way to be sure is to wait and see the tests. Is It Better to Download Xbox and PlayStation Games or Buy Them on a Disc? Harry Guinness @HarryGuinness Updated June 20, , pm EDT When you’re buying a console game, you’ve got two options: you can buy it as a download through the PlayStation Store or Xbox Games Store depending on your platform, or as a physical disc from Amazon or.

Which type do you prefer, Physical Copy of a game or Digital Copy? I only get digital if its a game I will play for a long time or over and over again. If I can get it boxed, I will buy it boxed. Exceptions made on a case by case basis. You can trade it, sell it, use it as a mirror, use it as a imaginary ninja star when someone busts in your room, collect it, regive it to your little cousin, admire the stack of games you have acquired etc Digital is just convenient for when both legs are broken and you cant find a driver.
You proove to me that physical games are better just for what I did. Play the system by returning a game getting full refund then deciding to get the game again. None of this could be done on a digital copy which you ate screwed if the game sucks. I have no idea why people are preodering games like uncharted which I would be shocked I f its not a winner but never the less it's still a yr away. With the lack of competition driving prices on digital goods down, piss poor policies on download limits and the always sketchy future on backwards compatibility and ownership issues digital is a last resort, download ps4 game vs disk.
I purchased a few titles off of PSN last download ps4 game vs disk and articulated something of a defense for doing so on this forum but after starting up a Blu-Ray collection I've had a change of heart. Physical without a doubt. Games are not cheaper digitally nor are they more convinient because you have to download download ps4 game vs disk of them and delete them if you have a full disc. Only time I'd buy a digital copy is if it's a smaller title, or it's significantly cheaper which is usually never the case.
I'm just stating all reasons why I feel like physical copies are better than digital. I have no problems with trading in a game, but I won't trade in 2 games to preorder a game If you can't take people criticizing your decisions or engaging in debate over an issue, don't download ps4 game vs disk on a public forum.
But thanks for solidifying my point Just another reason why I feel physical games are better than digital. I have schizo with this damn game with making up my mind if i want it because of all the negative views I had with it such as bad inconsistent graphics, bad story. The game has a great idea with the hacking and being a original IP but it wasn't executed well with polish.
The hacking works well but the overall game doesn't feel polished even after 6 months delay. Example, everyone is praising drive club compared to what it look like last yr. The delay for drive club is obviously improved in every way. Now drive club could be the best driver this yr even with stiff competition. Gamers that believe in physical copies and trading game etc should be the last person to judge how i do my business.
If the digital title is adequately priced I have no problem in choosing that option. It's actually quite convenient to play any of your games at the touch of a button, but unfortunately the ridiculous download ps4 game vs disk of most digital titles means disc versions are often a better option.
Agreed and that's why I'm on the fence about this topic. I would really like to go all digital but other then it being convenient, it's no real benefit because your not getting it at a discounted price. I generally go with what's cheaper. Most games are the same for either one. Digital should cost just slightly more than half of the physical copy. Physical of course. Most guys are scared they'd meet someone if they had to go to the mall and buy a game :P.
I want options and so far i dont see the luxury of having a digital only game. Case and point I download ps4 game vs disk valiant heart and the game froze 2 or 3 times in the middle of playing and I had to go back to save point, download ps4 game vs disk.
This is download ps4 game vs disk to a shakey server where as a physical copy normally want do that in single player unless you are playing online. Imagine the head ache if your digital disc get corrupted and you have to deal with Sony. Yes I guess you can delete disc and reinstall but that still may cause problems.
My biggest issue is the price is the same. Ok you save taxes, who cares. Maybe sony has to spend more for stable servers Buying a game is only a good idea if you tend to keep the game. It's a given that selling the game after playing it will lose money. Downloaded games really have no resale as far as I know. Renting the game is a convenient alternative.
Works out fine since I keep the game only for a couple of months and return it. Costs only a fraction of the price of the new game. Most of the big rental stores are closed. If you don't have a local small rental store with a decent selection of games, there are online rental sites for games. I'm with them as I'm Canadian. Great selection and pricing. Overall works fine. Probably adds a day or so to the US, I don't know but should be no biggie.
Console games for PS4, etc. Obvious reasons, digital games on PC are very well priced, there not on console. Physical copies on console are sometimes cheaper which baffles me.
Mostly physical for the obvious reasons, can trade them, sell them or do whatever you want with the physical media. There is only one really good thing about digital which I haven't heard anyone mention, download ps4 game vs disk, you don't have to change out the disks to play a different game and when your handicap that is actually something to consider.
So digital does have that one advantage to me. I think physical disk better than digital because sometime digital datas are delete and this is very bad status because it happened to me. I will always choose physical media over download any day. Another example, in order to guarantee a physical copy of Shenmue 3, download ps4 game vs disk, I donated to the kickstarter. You would think a digital copy would save a nice piece of money for a company.
I like something tangible. It's always fun getting a game for my birthday or Christmas. And it's always fun picking a game out at the store, download ps4 game vs disk, paying for it, going home and unwrapping the packaging and putting it in your system for the first time.
You just don't get the feels with digital downloads. Also, digital games take centuries to download on PS4. Physical discs take much less time since the game data just needs to be installed onto the HDD. I'm a bit of both worlds in a ways. I rather have physical hard copies of the game because I am a collector and have quite a download ps4 game vs disk constantly building but that's more for display.
I do also have a very large collection of digital games as well. And that's why I on both sides. If i could, I would have digital copies of my games and never touch the physical games again. Just display them. Now that my ISP download times are acceptable?
Games especially on consoles are more expensive than ever. Like the download ps4 game vs disk days of Christmas PSN sale. It is utter crap. I'm happy to pay out more for games I really want. From Amazon. There wasn't any digital sale which came close to that. Frankly I know digital is more convenient and I do think it will take over eventually but download ps4 game vs disk who is willing to pay the current PSN prices for games is out of the fucking mind and needs to see a therapist.
Hard copy all the way. I don't mind digital games if they're small size. They don't take too much HDD space and you can have a bunch on your system without losing a good chunk of memory. I don't want to lose time doing that shit when I can just pop a game in the disc drive and download ps4 game vs disk playing.
Oh yeah, it's Goddamn updates I like to put all the discs in a tub and take a game bath i have broken SO many games over the years. Um, download ps4 game vs disk, why not?
Getting the physical copies saves me from having to keep buying memory cards too, download ps4 game vs disk, since I get a lot of games for most of my handhelds. What exactly is so weird about that? Please Log In to post. This topic is locked from further discussion. Physical till the day im forced to go all digital if that ever comes.
