I have a few physical games on my library (Bioshock 2, AC 1 and Brotherhood, Dead Space and RE4, i dont enter those Giveaways so dont worry).
My question here for all of you is : Do you still buy physical games ? After getting to know Steam, i rarely buy a physical game since they are kinda expensive where i live (Mexico, IE: Halo 2 PC still 50 dollars).
So, what do you say ? Still getting old disc and shiny manuals and case ?

Correction: "Have you EVER bought physical games?"
Nope... well, except that one time they sold Duke Nukem Forever for 1 pound with free shipping, but that doesn't count. :D

I never have. I don't know if anyone even sells physical copies here anymore, or if anyone ever legally did. There were pirated disks being sold in shady stalls when I was a kid, but that was ages ago, and I didn't buy those either.

In my country they usually are much cheaper than on Steam, so yes.

Stopped this year. There are a few games for the 360 I would like but just can't bring myself to get them. PC is so much easier than consoles anymore.

I buy some DS and Wii games, but other than that it's pretty much all virtual.

Yep, I do. Found a ton of older games yesterday in a bargain bin at some indie game store in the middle of bum-rush nowhere and stocked up like crazy. Hard to say no to OpFor Red River for $1 along with about 20 others :D

Yes, I buy physical games for the PC and my consoles (PS3, PS2, PSone, DS, Xbox), but not as often as I used to in the near past. I like very much the editions of old PC games with the cardboard boxes and the nice manuals, so when I find something like this in a store and the price is good, I just can't resist.

Yes, I dislike digital copies. One of the reasons why I don't buy any newer games is simply because everything is digital nowadays. Doesn't really bother me too much though, so many great old games I haven't played yet.

Well, for PC my last three hard copy purchases were Terraria CE, Unreal 3 (physical copy came with UDK tutorials), and Wrath of the Lich King...so the last one I bought just for the game itself (WotLK, which is actually just an expansion) was about 4 years ago. My PS3 is a different story though, I don't mind buying physical copies for that.

I do still. I prefer having a physical object I can look at and hold over a digital one. Though I do buy a lot of digital games as well.

Last physical copy of a game was SC2 HoTS CE. ( Before that, funny enough was the Diablo 3 CE )

I think the last game I bought physically was Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Wii. For PC, it was Guild Wars 2.

Never really did, I only get games for Steam. And before Steam I was a pirate.

I only buy physical copies of PC games if they either have Steam keys and are on sale, or if they're not available from a digital distribution service like Steam, UPlay, Desura, or Origin. Or if they're Collector's Editions with plenty of swag in the box. I'm just too much in love with not needing to keep my installation discs in a completely climate-controlled environment.

I still prefer physical copies of console games. Digital console games are crap when storage space is limited. What happens when the online service for your console is taken offline, cutting you off from any and all purchases that you do not currently have downloaded?

Second hands (used) only for bargains, specially for PS3.
Since my Xbox360 Dead Space 2 broke itself inside the console without any reason, i'm not buying anything physical.

Digital Downloads forever, please.
