Was going to buy a physical copy initially, but decided I couldn't wait for amazon to deliver it. Also wanted to play it before I went to work.

 

[shinkai]

Digital and physical CE both on PS4.

 

[Glix]

Gotta go digital. Don't feel like getting up and switching discs if I just want to get a few rounds in.

I go physical for RPG's and Action/Adventure games and stuff.

Things I just want to be able to pop on for a quick session, I will usually go digital.

These rules are always superseded by price. If there is an insane sale on something I will grab it regardless of format.

 

[Aenima]

Call me when the Complete Edition releases, with a full story mode and all DLC characters included on disc.

Check back in five years then.

 

[Asd202]

Physical PS4 it's a little cheaper where I live.

 

[lucebuce12]

Call me when the Complete Edition releases, with a full story mode and all DLC characters included on disc.

That... might take quite a while. They've already said they're not going to do any Super or Ultra versions like they did with SF4 and they're probably just going to keep adding characters every year until the new SF drops in like 5-6 years.

 

[apieceofstrange]

I went with Steam because it was significantly cheaper. Got the game for ~$45 and it won't require buying a brand new $200 stick. I preferred playing SFIV on a PC monitor over my TV anyway.

 

[Alucrid]

I have it pre ordered on psn before costumes were announced. I'll have to buy the Cammy best buy costume I guess

 

[WeaponKnight]

I'm going digital on Steam because here in Brazil the PS4 version costs more than double the PC price (R$280 vs R$99).

 

[Mizerman]

Call me when the Complete Edition releases, with a full story mode and all DLC characters included on disc.

Guess you'll be waiting then.

 

[Pics_nao]

Physical collectors

 

[Skilletor]

Call me when the Complete Edition releases, with a full story mode and all DLC characters included on disc.

See you in 10 years.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Digital for sure. Waiting until release day to choose platform just in case of unforeseen issues on either one. Strongly leaning PC.

 

[Airgetlam]

Probably getting a physical copy from Amazon. Can't ignore that Prime discount and free release day shipping. This also means I'm getting the Bison alt which I will happily trade anyone for the gamestop Ryu alt.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Steam, didn't pay full price either.

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

If Reviews sway me I'll go PC for sure.

 

[Zophar]

My first digital $60 purchase. I've found it a lot more appealing to keep fighters on the HDD, since I tend to play in short, impromptu bursts.

 

[Qurupeke]

Digital.

 

[entremet]

I haven't been following the costume situation, but they're separating costume exclusives this time around?

You can buy them, right?

 

[explodet]

Speaking of versions, anybody know how much space this game takes up?
I went to the site and looked at the SFV page:

I don't think that's on the level.

 

[Radical Edward]

Same. I'd prefer digital because I don't want to search for the game amongst the kids Disney Infinity cases, but I can't day no to $30 off Canadian retail prices.

How did you get it this low for CAD? I only see 69.99

 

[Zombegoast]

The Steam version. I don't know why people are double dipping when it has Cross-Play.

 

[entremet]

The Steam version. I don't know why people are double dipping when it has Cross-Play.

Mods on PC is a tempting option.

Gotta have that full Mika butt slap back!

Plus the PC is basically the eternal platform. You don't have to worry about B/C and such.

 

[Skilletor]

The Steam version. I don't know why people are double dipping when it has Cross-Play.

Because it's easier to play locally on consoles and I prefer to play online on PC.

 

[Castef]

Digital, on PC.

 

[Copenap]

Digital is a must. Even more sonnow that there won't be Super Editions etc.

 

[dezzy8]

i might get the digital for that same reason op. Having SFIV on my hard drive is so convenient. But I love my physical copies.

 

[ldcommando]

Steam.

 

[tilomite!]

Physical edition for me. I wish I could cold out til the inevitable complete edition.

 

[J-Skee]

I pre-ordered the collector's edition, although I think going digital would have been better. Do I really need that Ryu statue?

 

[E_Darkness]

Physical edition for me. I wish I could cold out til the inevitable complete edition.

With how SFV is looking, that would actually be years away.

 

[Radical Edward]

I'm grabbing the CE on PS4. Can't wait to get destroyed online.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

DD just like everything else this gen .

 

[BiggNife]

Well, going physical doesn't save you any HDD space as all games are fully installed regardless of whether they are digital or physical. You can save internet bandwidth though if you are capped.

I assumed not everything from the disc was installed to the HDD? But whatever. The bigger clincher for me was the $12 discount anyhow.

 

[DagnastyEp]

I don't know why people are double dipping when it has Cross-Play.

I am also surprised at the number of people planning on double dipping. I don't think I've ever seen a thread where so many people are planning on buying two versions of the game.

 

[Poster#1]

On next steam sale.

 

[Skilletor]

With how SFV is looking, that would actually be years away.

Considering there's no SF4 version out there that includes all DLC 8 years after release, you'll be waiting until PS6 and Capcom releases a remaster.

I double dip on all fighters.

I love them. I need them everywhere.

 

[Ladekabel]

Both. Have a physical PC-Version preordered.

 

[Seijuro]

Digital on PS4. I prefer digital for games that I want to boot up for a few quick rounds.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Know they're going to get it twice, and want to spend money on the version less likely to have a steam sale.

Yes, but why buy it twice?

 

[shiftplusone]

PS4 digital because the same reason you stated OP

don't like switching discs for fighters.

Also gotta get that sweet chun li costume


PC Digital obviously

The Steam version. I don't know why people are double dipping when it has Cross-Play.

There are many reasons to buy a game on 2 platforms that don't relate to playerbase

 

[King_Moc]

Pc physical. £23 and it essentially just unlocks on steam.

 

[TheWrathOfSean]

Really wanted that statue, but digital all the way. Want to be able to play it more spontaneously.

 

[entremet]

I assumed not everything from the disc was installed to the HDD? But whatever. The bigger clincher for me was the $12 discount anyhow.

Everything is. This is standard for both PS4/XB1 since launch.

The final size of the game will much bigger due to updates, though--patches, Story Mode, extra characters.

 

[Weetrick]

Steam because my sticks are Xbox 360.

 

[IbukiLordSA]

Digital PS4

 

[LowParry]

Digital. So we can play on both our console

 

[Black Mantis]

Steam version, so digital.

 

[Zerojul]

Physical EU regular version with season pass, plus a Japanese e-capcom limited volcanic edition. So physical, twice.
That's a lot of money for one game but hey, that's Street Fighter after all.

 

[iiicon]

How did you get it this low for CAD? I only see 69.99

Amazon E3 discount. Amazon had SFV listed at $59.99 last June.
