    ? digital.
    Almost copped a ps4 bundle from Amazon with The Last of Us and GTA V for $400, but both games come as digital D/L's.
    No disc literally stopped me from buying it because I didn't want trash ass GTA V and was gonna resell it.

    Digital takes up hella ? space. Basically forcing you to buy the more expensive version with hella memory. I made that mistake when I bought the cheaper 4GB xbox360. Some of the demos be that much and more SMH. Add-on content be like 1GB - 2GB. ? assassins creed 3 had a 3 part add on and GTA 4 Had a two part add-on as well. Had to go out and buy a ? 8GB flash drive. Then when GTA 5 dropped I had to go and get a 16GB flash drive for that ? . I use the rest of that space for the free games with gold games. I'm bout to get another 8GB today because gta 5 add-on and updates are gonna eat up at least 3GB - 4GB.

    Speaking of flash drives, can you use the same flash drives for 360 on the xbox1? Or do you need some new special flash drives? How many GB come with the system? How many GB are the demos and add-on's? Just asking because the games are packed with a bit more content and heavy usage of HD.

    I always go disc just in case I want to sell it back
    Or sell/give to somebody else. Or to borrow/trade with. Can't do this ? with digital. Also if somebody takes your system they got all yo games with DLC lol.

    I'll go digital when they drop the price.

    There's no reason for digital to be $60, it had no disc, packaging, printed paper or needed to be shipped.


    LOL glad to see I'm not the only one who caught that. $65 after tax(california)

    Well I'll be ? damn. The bold always happens. It needs that space for something, one of the computer nerds on here will explain why. My flash drive says 8GB but it really has 7GB of space to actually use. They always take away almost one GB or half.

    How many GB do your games use up?

    Depends on the game....some can be 20+ some can be 50+ basically the ? will go quick xbone supports external hard drives now so buying one will be mandatory for some gamers that might not want to keep deleting and reinstalling games and ? like that

    Digital takes forever to go down in price. There be games 29.99 digital and you can find the disc for like $10. Once games go digitsl, ? going to stay $60 for a long time

    Just what I thought. So the flash drives I got now wont do ? . I guess I'll have to get the one with more space then. I'm definitely waiting for december black friday now. I aint about to get got again lol. These ? doing this ? on purpose. Games like COD, battlefield, and halo probably take up all kinds of room(50+?). Not to mention DLC too. In about a year or two depending on how much of a gamer you are. That ? will be used up, and then what? I bet all those apps take up a shitload of space too smh.

    We just aint ready for digital yet. They need to upgrade the internets first. Cats with the fastest internet connections be waiting forever for downloads.

    LOL these aint ps1 disc bruh. You left out the shipping too. That ? cost, point blank period. Digital should be at least $20 cheaper. Going digital is gonna cause some problems bruh, why you think most people don't want it? ? kinda takes away our control and freedom too. Also ? aint ? with the beta version of the cloud lol.

    When you buy digital, you don't really own anything. If digital catches on, don't be surprised if that leads to more pay to play subscription type games.

    That scares me i really hope the backlash microsoft got for restrictions of discs continues to stop that idea as well as the overall evening out/decline in popularity of console gaming from the peak in the early 2000's.

    basically what I was saying. These digital fan boys/girls are either not thinking or they just don't care. This is the main reason why people aren't sold on going digital yet. The other is the big file downloads and the internets just aint up to speed yet. Last but not least it will put all the gaming stores out of business. All they gonna sale is accessories and systems lol. I heard the government already got super fast internet and it's gonna be released to the public late next year.

    On another note, makes you wonder if the government is holding us back on purpose. By the time we get all this so called "new tech" and start going crazy over it. That ? be like 5 - 10 years old before it's released to the public. Then only rich people can afford it. 2 years later they drop the price way down for us 99%ers. Then we lose our ? over it like we moving towards the future and ? lol. I'm pretty sure phones got holograms and ? now.

    ^ If you look at other media (books, movies and music), they're going the other way. They'd love us to buy more physical copies. The difference between them and gaming is most gamers haven't had their consoles modded to play copied games. If games go digital and people start modding their consoles and download games amongst each other, they'll want to go back discs.
