Will you be going Digital or Disc
 
Just thought it would be nice to do a poll on how you will get your games. Are you going to go digital downloads, buy it on disc as we do now or go for whichever is more cheaper?

I am going a bit of both. For Special editions or retailers editions (e.g. Game, Play.com special editions) for a few as got a couple on order and then going to go digital for other games

I already try to get all my games via a digital download.

Ideally i would like to go digital but i suspect the digital versions of games will cost far more than disc versions considering they will be region free so would be able to make a disc saving buying from places like Play-Asia.

I voted digital. In a totally vital world games would be cheaper, but when they are still making and selling discs they can't really make the download version cheaper.

Look at the price of games on steam for a start.

PC games have always cost less though on discs, around £30 if i remember?

Both.
If it's digital only, I'll get it digital. If there's a physical release I'll get the discs

Hmm.

A mixture...

Stuff I intend to keep and re-play: I'll get it via digital download for the convenience.

Stuff I intend to play once and trade in: I'll get it on disc.


I very much doubt that downloads with be any cheaper than discs for the Xbox One (or the PS4).

I'll try and go fully digital depending on the prices. They'll probably be special edition version of games I'll buy so I'll certainly end up with some discs.

They are now yes. I might import some from Play-Asia if they are cheaper

I use a mixture, I usually wait a month or so after release as there's savings to be made, digital downloads often appear a lot more then the disc based equivalent even on older titles.

Be interesting to see how it will play out on the new consoles.

I prefer the physical media. Even then, although I'd bought the CD, I was required to install Steam and download it.

Disc, so I can flog it when I'm done.
