10 pros and cons to buying digital and physical games and what the differences are in 2024. Which is better? Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are available with and without a disc slot, so which should you buy? With more and more games going digital only, could this be the end of disc based games…
Let me know which you prefer and your reason in the comments.

Digital Games are much better. As soon as the game comes out I can play it. Also I live in Louisiana. Hurraines suck. It’s a lot easier to just move my PlayStation and then evacuate. Rather then moving a lot of games that I have to physically move.

Definitely Physical. With physical games not only do I have more ownership of it, but I also have treasured memories involving certain physical games. Kingdom Hearts 2.8 for example holds a special place in my heart because it was a Valentine’s Day gift from my mom.

I like digital for the convenience, but disc is more collectable. I'm always an advocate for physical media, I don't want to be part of a future where I pay up to 70 dollars or more for a game i don't even own. It can easily be taken away from us as well.

I prefer physical but it’s important to have as many options as possible. Some digital games have inflated prices or get delisted, while some physical games have limited prints and rarity makes them expensive. Some digital games are on sale for dirt cheap while used mass produced games are almost always cheap.

I switched to all digital back when the newest generation of consoles came out. I love that I can switch back and forth between titles in an instance and also not have the hassle of trying to find storage for my ever growing collection of games! The numerous discounts on physical games (at least for the PS5 anyway) I do miss though!

Before watching: I buy 90% of my games physically cause, A: I can return or sell them if I choose to do so for whatever reasons, B: installing a game off a disc if I remember right is a lil faster than storing a whole game on your memory and also I believe less space???, and C: I like to display them (Especially my Zelda collection). Not to say I wont buy digital games (steam and otherwise) but only if thats the only option to buy that game (steam again being the main thing but there are other reasons) There are games that come out digital only then get a physical limited edition later where since I already bought the digital version on release and the physical has no extra stuff I'll just stick with the digital version.
@FlopFan69
@FlopFan69 11 күн бұрын
B is completely wrong. Installing off disc can be slower, depending on your internet speed, and the install size is the same, as the disc is too slow to run the game off, so a full install is required.

With the country I stay in, buying physical games is extremely expensive, which is why I have joined the digital band wagon and wait for those discounts to buy several games digitally with gift cards. Since owning my Ps5 (disk version), I do not own any physical games.

Like you said, though, it's nice to have a physical disk, too to hold and have in hand, trade, etc. Hopefully, we'll always have an option for physical. Great video.

Great video, gaming is awesome! I’m curious, on Xbox, can’t you download the game without purchasing it, almost like a pre-install? If so, couldn’t you still buy the physical copy for your day-one scenario and be good to go when you get home from the store?

Yes that’s a fair point. Although I tried this a while back (forza motorsport) and when I put the disc in it forced me to download the whole game again, even though I had it installed. Need to test this again.

Gaming is Awesome. Awesome video Spawn! I am forever and happily a physical games player. I love going to the store in the morning, purchasing a game whether i preordered or not, taking off the plastic, hold the disc in my hand, the smell of the case just everything! I feel like it’s a losing art that will be sorely missed when it’s really over but for right now and as long as i lived there’s nothing like it. Digital is nice too because I got HZD as a free gift during the pandemic and it’s cool to flash back to it plus the demos we download that I enjoy too. But nothing like physical and I want it to stay.

When it comes to buying games at a lower price, I prefer purchasing physical discs. For online games, I compare prices between disc versions and digital formats to choose the cheaper option. Therefore, I'd opt for the disc version of the PS5, as it allows me to enjoy both physical and digital games at the best possible prices, BTW great and very informative video mate.

A few years ago I started buying more digital bc I was running out of space, but now I've reverted back to buying physical as much as I can. Physical games can't be taken away from me, and there's something special about being able to look at my collection even if the game's license has been delisted. A prime example is my copy of Overwatch 1 even though the game no longer exists

Another thing to note about buying physical. Once you play and complete a newly released game and sell pretty early on for a good price, very often the game will either come out on PS Plus or game catalogue later down the road so you literally have had the best of both worlds and can replay at a later date digitally anyway. I've lost count of how many times i've bought a game and got the platinum, traded in and a few months later it comes out on game catalogue.

So I purchase the disc to have both features.

I buy all digital, but I'd be more inclined to pick up physical copies (especially steelbooks) if they all came with digital codes to allow me to play the game without inserting the disc. DVD's and Blu-rays used to do this with codes to add the digital movie to your iTunes library. Would love to collect the physical copies, just don't want the added hassle of having to swap discs every time I change games.

I have a mix of both. but I'm team physical all the way. the only exceptions being if the game itself is only a Digital version. or if I really want the game and Don't want to wait I'll just get it digitally

I'd prefer physical, but digital gamesharing is much more convenient for me and my brother so the majority of mine are digital. 😊 I do miss the feeling of waiting for a physical game to arrive or buying one at the store though.

I'm the same, there's a serious pro/con to both options, just have to decide which outweighs the other.

I kind of regret not picking the digital ps5 over the disc as I hardly collect discs and thought at first I’d collect a lot when I buy my games digitally. I suppose there’s some advantages as I can still use my PS5 as a dvd/Blu-ray player

The fact that companies like UBI-Soft have said, "players have to get used to not owning their games" is why I preferer to own my games physically. That's why it's a hard pass for Assassins' Creed Shadows for me. A game bought digitally could always be taken away.

The only game I got from Ubisoft is Rayman legends. I don't like the far cry and assassin's creed franchises.

This only works for offline games though,which is fine if you play alone but most the world plays with friends and most games support multiplayer. Physical copy won’t save you from being able to play online with others unfortunately.

It depends, if it’s a game I’m gonna play a lot I will get it digital ( such as helldivers or nba 2k) but if it’s a story related game such as spider man or horizon that I will play for a while then just leave it and maybe hop back on the game after sometime

Since I live in South Africa, everything in the US and UK are 18.5x expensive, so a PS5 is about R15 000 to R20 000, and the new iPad pro on the highest end is R50 000 or so. But I will always love Disk.

If I buy a game I really like and end up playing it a bunch, I'll inevitably rebuy it physically(usually on sale) and add to a personal collection. Because yeah, there's just something special about having a physical version of a game you really like.

I love physical but there is only 1 physical store franchise in my country that sells physical. My nearest store is 2 hours away. So I tend to buy digital. I do worry about losing access to them down the line

If I can’t find the game at my GameStop store I will download it, it is nice being able to switch games without changing disk. Disk games are still my favourite

I used to be physical all the way. Now that ive got my own apartment and like to keep it tidy and minimalist kind of like spawnpoint, i prefer digital. Less clutter, more convenient, don’t need to get up and change discs every time i wanna switch games.

I used to only want to buy games physically if possible, but now I'm at the point where I only care to get it physically if I care a lot about the game, plan on replaying it at some point, or get it for the sake of a collection. For games that I only plan on playing once and never again, however, I'm just going to download them for ease.

Also, consider if you have a Playstation Portal as digital are easily accessible if you are away from your PS5.

A decent system for me 1. Day 1 physical games- Physical, sell it later 2. Old games that go on sale - digital 3. Multiplayer games like Helldivers 2, digital as I need to swap in n out 4. Long ass open world games - digital, as I can’t be bothered to finish it one sitting 5. PS plus ( got Black Friday yearly sale ) if a game is on there, as I don’t take longer than 2 weeks to finish a game so it’s cheaper monthly

I consider a good game as a work of art. I can imagine the game developers who poured their hearts into the games we love would want it to be appreciated and respected. So I love to collect art and I believe it should be my right to own a copy of the art that I bought and want to keep.

Sometimes I literally do both, buy physical first however i may buy again if it’s on a mega discount on PSN (like 80% off) - usually I’ll combine with reduced PSN gift cards for even more savings
