Ajit Pai and the FCC fukked up that all digital future... Y'all think y'all data plans and downloads gonna be safe???

 

[Tunez]

Im one of them

 

[Kenny West]

Yep. Being able to sell and let others borrow your games >>

I think these results are BS.

Don't have any proof, just don't believe the number

Edit: I just read the article and nowhere in it does it show data saying 66% of console gamers prefer physical. Where the hell did they get that number from?

The data in the article says digital gamers play more games and spend less money on them.

Two things that disprove the narrative you archaic physical gamers like to peddle about physical games being cheaper and preferred by the masses.

Op, you and the author of your dumbass article lost

Physical is the best bc I like to look at the shelf and admire my collection ....I sold half my collection of older games a while back .

I miss seeing em on the shelf bc it was pretty much all the bundles of the PS3 exclusives and the remaster bundles of PS2 classics


Currently building up my physical PS4 collection, cleaning up on Black Friday

I love physical copies when it comes to collecting. When it comes to playing, I prefer digital.

The actual Nielsen report that's downloadable, not the article posted. They have a link to the website right there at the top of the article, and then nielsen informs you that you have to register to the website in order to see the full report.

Digital for games I know I’mma play for 2+ months, physical for titles I will only play for a brief period of time.

With the basic hard drives and laser disc drives we got, pretty much gonna have to get use to that...a blu ray drve can't read the disc fast enough to load up all that data. Might have to wait until the next form of optical media for us to be able to do that.
