True. There will always be sales and discounts on the digital front especially to help companies make more money, but the companies generally dictate when these discounts or sales happen. Physical games are almost always significantly cheaper and are even permanently reduced normally. I just prefer having more control over what I pay for games and with digital you have to generally wait for your favorite games to get discounted.
Older and smarter.Since the game industry is mostly aimed at kids, teens, young adults. it doesn't make a difference since most young people are always online and have no issue buying things digitally. They'll just use their mom's credit card to buy the games full price on the digital store, they don't really price-shop around or anything like on eBay or Amazon.
I feel like most of us who still like physical games are decreasing in number, mostly because we're older.

Maybe for console yes.True.

That was why I never got into pcI’m actually surprised it has taken this long. PC killed physical 20 years ago.
Ps5 pro will be my last console thenI don't think we will be seeing disc drives on the PS6 and next Xbox.
I buy 99% of my games physically if I want digital ID just go to pcGood. Producing these physical games is a complete waste of natural resources. But i'm sure there will be plenty of protest from people who, apparently, still buy CD's and DVD's/Blurays.
Same here what a failure of decisionsPeople are fools, hope they like their all digital PlayStation 6. I won't be buying it.
In fact, you're talking about cloud gaming...PlayStation has great sales year round. I know physical games can be even cheaper but the immediacy of receiving it digitally can’t be beat.
Digital on console is no good.
Are you all living in a dungeon created in 1999 with a 56k modem?I'm not surprised, games seem to go out of stock fast these days.
Add the people who buy digital anyway and you get
"Bro, how are you playing this game so early"
"Arrived in the post this morning"
"Oh, I gotta wait till midnight, I got off PSN for £79, digital is much better and convenient. "
"Right... got mine for £52, been playing for the last 4 hours, anyway speak to ya later"
1GB actuallyAre you all living in a dungeon created in 1999 with a 56k modem?
I can download a game faster than what it takes to jump into my car and go down to the local store.
That conversation is literally one in your own head.
I've played games before my friends due to region unlock or simply because I have the game preloaded for release.
Yeah, I only play games to collect discs that aren't even needed too.Ps5 pro will be my last console then
This is a surprisingly philosophical reply not often seen on neogaf.At the end of it all, you can't take it with you. Enjoy what you can get with the time you have. The game is playable on my screen either way and when I'm gone it's really not gonna matter that much.
All this back and forth for the past 15+ years about this is really stupid.
You can't blame digital because Sony sucks at it. Maybe there's a reason you have that talk with a psn buddy?1GB actually
And no that's a conversation I continuely have with one of my friends on PSN
And you must be talking about stream because not even Pre-order DLC is available a day before release let alone days on PSN.
most people can get a physical release before it's released digitally in any region or even before you can preload
The bigger question is why...
So the reason you can get a game sometimes a week or at the latest a day or two before it's up on the server is because Sony sucks at digital and download speeds?You can't blame digital because Sony sucks at it. Maybe there's a reason you have that talk with a psn buddy?
I havent pre ordered in several years, but I remember being able to play digitally bought games on xbox and pc before my regional midnight.
Either steam or Xbox seems to throttle your download speed, I don't know if psn does. From your experience it could sound like it.
Just don't state imaginary conversations as facts.
Thank god us Nintendo gamers lag behind on digital adoption. We still got some time before our all digital future
Eh, if thats what you got out of my post then lol.So the reason you can get a game sometimes a week or at the latest a day or two before it's up on the server is because Sony sucks at digital and download speeds?
And your rebuttal is "imagination" on my part...
You win dude, congrats
Yeah okay. There's no way that any store or store chain gets away with breaking street dates early on a consistent basis.I'm not surprised, games seem to go out of stock fast these days.

Yeah okay. There's no way that any store or store chain gets away with breaking street dates early on a consistent basis.
I have literally never been able to find or get any store to break street dates
Whenever I see people who post about getting a copy of a game 10~ days before release date, it always seems like either it's fake, or the poster is actually an employee at a store whose able to get their hands on a copy that quick.
I'm sure they don't do it on purposeYeah okay. There's no way that any store or store chain gets away with breaking street dates early on a consistent basis.
Amazon is usually day of release or laterBest luck that I've had was with Amazon. But that's only a day or two if I'm lucky.
I'm sure they don't do it on purpose
But to ensure all pre-orders get to the customer for launch many ship early, the postal service is the ones that don't wait and delivers the next day instead of in 3 days, hell I've had dispatched email after midnight and it's been delivered in the morning.
Amazon is usually day of release or later
Don't want my home filled with game, dvd cases and discsWhat a shame.
People are fools for doing that. No control over your game, no ownership... you can't sell it, unpatch it, lend or anything.
Pay for everything - own nothing
PHYSICAL FTW
They tend to be the best for getting a game that's already out(I have Prime) but I've never had anything early from them.I actually got games early from them. So a day or two before release at the earliest. I remember I got my GoW PS4 Pro several days before it came out.
They tend to be the best for getting a game that's already out(I have Prime) but I've never had anything early from them.
but I'm always teasing my sister because she orders everything from them so I play her up and keep asking "has yours come yet?"
ok? Then don't.Don't want my home filled with game, dvd cases and discs
Makes sense.
PC is 100%, Xbox is at 90%, Sony is at 80%. It will reach 100% just like with PC eventually, because digital is much more convenient. How many people borrow disks from their friends these days anyway?
Enjoy losing everything.
Im sure my dead ghost gets upset when I lose my access in 200 years.Enjoy losing everything.
Yeah, if you don't care about preservation then sure.Im sure my dead ghost gets upset when I lose my access in 200 years.
There is no good reason. Wake up people!yup, physical is almost a thing of the past, and for good reasons.
Steam, u play, gog, and Xbox store is doing fine.Yeah, if you don't care about preservation then sure.
Hows the wii, wii u, 3ds, psp, ps3, and vita e-shops doing?
There is no digital ownership when "buying" digital movies / games . You basically rent a license until the company decides to end the service. Could be in 100 years, could be next week.Can you pro-digital owners GUARANTEE that our digital ownership could last for the next 10-20 years?
