Quick resume - worth mentioning for next gen. How will this work when all your games are on physical discs? Will you have to get up and swap discs over every time? That makes the feature rather pointless.
If so, that's a genuine plus point towards going digital next gen.
But Quick Resume seems pretty pointless to me anyway. I think if games are so mind numbingly boring that you need to stop them and immediately play another game then stop that and play another game, then perhaps people need to play different games on a better console.

I have thought about doing this as well, My friend does. He'll buy the game physically and if he hates it, he's sells it back to Gamestop or sells it after completing it only to buy it later on sell digitally, when it's only 10/15 dollars. I have been burned on a few titles before that I wished I could sell back. Digital games sales are so much better than the previous gen.In all honestly ... any one who goes day1 full digital is probably does not has their priorities straight...
I have almost 400 digital XboxOne/Original_Xbox and Xbox360 games... but I bought them when they on sale... significant sale... If I buy a physical game... there is a good chance I can sell it if I do not like it.
Physical all the way.
Going digital forfeit all my consumer rights so I won't do it personally. These companies could design their digital stores in a way that preserve the same consumer rights we enjoy with physical releases to make the transition to digital stores easier to accept but they are choosing not to on purpose for sinister reasons that will render every single right we have now void. they are twisting people arms now with how they are handling their physical releases to make the push for digital and in my opinion the solution to fix it is to not buy digital at all, this way they will be forced to fix their physical releases because that copy is the one they are being judged on not the digital copy.
Also they need to pay for our storage solutions this is an extra cost on the consumer going digital especially with the inflated files sizes we are being bombarded with.
Isn't that a reason to go physical, so you can resell them when you are done with them?I also rarely reply games once I beat them.

It's nice to see someone else that recognizes the extra cost of storage that has been passed to the consumer.
I never thought I'd switch but I did I'm all digital thanks to gamepass and cheap online sales. Plugged in 2 external hard drives never have to go to a store again.
Unless you have NASA internet, it will probably be quicker than downloading 100gb.Just being real and I hate to say it, but it looks like I'm going digital next gen.
Games are going to start coming on 100gb disc and I gotta be honest, the install time on that is gonna get ridiculously long, not to mention that the day 1 patch is pretty much a guarantee these days meaning that the version you buy is pretty much outdated already.
God of War, one of my favorites this gen despite my complaining, I couldn't even use the high performance mode because that weekend my home internet was on the fritz and took all weekend to download the patch. But, had I downloaded it beforehand the patch was already pushed. I also bought Life is Strange 2... And the final episode must be downloaded separately.
GOTY editions aren't coming on multiple disc anymore and even greatest hits aren't patched versions so actually being "complete" is becoming more and more of a joke as downloads are still required.
Trade in is going to become a thing of the past, GameStop is going under, local video game stores are vanishing unless primarily retro because for no reason other than they can't afford to push copies like retail so they miss out on big game launches like Red Dead Redemption 2.
Unless publishers change their behavior this is the new normal and buying disc just doesn't seem like the thing to do at this point.
