    @focus yo is BF4 coming to xbox market place ? i'm new to buying games lol

    On X1, yea, on release day. All X1 games will be. Not on 360 tho. Hopefully going forward after launch all games will be available digitally at midnight, but they haven't committed to that.

    Just depends on the publisher I think. Some are quicker than others. The most recent example of a "big game" to use would be GTA 5 I guess. It was released to retail on 9/17 and then on the XBOX Marketplace a month later on 10/18.

    You really buying Battlefield 4 on 360?

    You'll still need the disk to play the game right?

    What disk? It would be digital.

    You said disks still require an install and I said you'll still need a disk to play the game.

    Oh ok, misunderstood. Yea, if you are not going digital, then you will be required to use hard drive space to install every game and also still be required to have the disk in the tray to play the game.

    I liked collecting until I realised the sheer amount of space all my media takes up.

    I don't expect that much of a gap next Gen. Every big game is available Day 1 Digitally on PS3 already. Should be the norm across all consoles next gen.

    u know what i always wanted to have the disc but with the damn near 30 games that will end up like encyclopedia britannicas im not so sure 500gb should hold it down but it will be too weird not to have disc ... i think sports games as digitals will be what i do initially
