Who else loves physical disks more than digital copy of game?

nope > got unlimited net and installing games from disks is ever so painfully fucking slow. the retail cost is a joke as well, Physical Disk's SUX

I like to use them as a "Flying disc", does this count? :D

i prefer compact portable hard drives.

Since computer games are worthless now after installation, I prefer digital copies of games for PC. Consoles is a whole different story.

I really like physical disks, but for me, digital is the winner. The thing about digital copies that could make everyone happy is if there weren't DRM. You could just have access to a download of the installer and then save the installation program so you had it for lifetime, instead of only having a subscription to it on Steam.

I don't even have an optical drive, so there's your answer. Optical discs are old technology.

I'm never going to lose anything if I move house or something with steam. Plus it means I can horde games without my other half sending stuff off to the charity shop before it's been completed.

Physical Games>Digital in my opinion.

I would have all my games in physical copies if it didn't cost 5-10x more.

i got over 350 games on steam and if all those was physical they could take too much wasted space

Still love the Guild Wars 1 and World of Warcraft(before TBC) boxes that I have, mainly with the opening display.

I like physical copies. I prefer to have physical clutter than digital clutter believe it or not. Offline is a plus too. I still remember when the internet went out when I was younger I used to be able to pop in Ape Escape in my PS1 and have a ball. Now if I have to go without internet I have to either fight with Steam's jank offline mode or use cracked executables.

While I do like physical disks, I hate the dust pileup if you don't dust well enough.
My vote goes to digital copies due to them actually being able to "live" longer.

For me Physical Disk has nothing over a Digital distribution. If I'd ever want a Physical copy of a game it would be because it comes with a Special Casing or Manual or such, not even for the game disk. Even worst is they rarely package a Physical Manual with games anymore unless you pay some premium price for a Special Edition (70-100$).

What's not to love about games on a 75% sale every few months that you can download directly. Or even better.. a 1$ bundle for 6 games.

It was nice having all those boxes stacked up somewhere in the bedroom allright.

Now with everything being digital, and internet connections are fast enough to download big files (depends of course, it takes around a day for me to download say....24gb) i just stick to hardware boxes stacking, from the oldest MOBO/GPU/CPU/PSU/HD/etc i've had to the newest ones.

Pc is both digital and physical but mostly digital

Consoles are also both Digital and physical but mostly physical.

I used to love them, but then I took a knee to the arrow.

Anything physical sucks. It's just another thing you'll have to free from dust, it's not really much of an eyecandy...and no matter if you use it or not it will eventually break.

I like retail copies of games I'm really looking forward to, but I'm happy going digital for those I'm less psyched for (which is the majority of games).
I bought Dark Souls retail, and I'll be grabbing DS2 retail as well. Other than that, I cant think of any other games I want a retail copy for unless its way cheaper (BF4 for example)

i started to hate with every bit of my soul phisical disks as one of the three disks of thief 3 got scratched and wasn't working anymore

Nope, don't care. I've had enough of empty boxes around that take lots of space for a single disc and dust all over the place. Also, digital games are way cheaper.

It would be different if boxes were full of stuff like manuals. maps and other goodies like they were used to be in the 90's, now they are just empty plastic boxes.

Oh come on, don't you love this 3H7IM-XCK5D-ZGTNP?

Edit: taken

its way easier for me to have it in digital as they dont take as much place and besides even looking on a big steam library can give you a warm fuzzy feeling

only of old good games, i really don't need a physical copy of the crap they sell today

I would love to have all (or atleast most) of my steam games as a physical box just to fill up my shelf but steam discounts don't allow me that pleasure. I only have Dishonored as a physical copy from my steam games.
