I'll always go physical vs digital. If there is the option. If it ever comes to digital only consoles, I'll retire from new game buying and l look to retro stuffs only. --- End quote --- I have decided the same thing as well. In fact if it were not for the Wii U, I would have retired after this last generation (PS3. 360, Wii), mostly because developers are chopping games up more and more with DLC, season passes, and piss poor excuses for single player campaigns. And don't even get me started on DRM and always online BS. The industry is becoming way too greedy and it is showing signs of coming back and hitting them in the face. But that is another rant lol. Sadly, I do believe all media, including games, are going digital only, mostly. While I do not believe there will be absolutely no more physical games, I see physical gaming being a small minority of game sales in about 10-years from now. One thing I am really hoping for is mass development for retro consoles coming back, like dozens of new Genesis or N64 games released each year. Sort of the same thing as Vinyl making a comeback as a medium from music. But I am completely and 100% okay with going retro only if I have too. I have the majority of games I could ever want (or possibly play), and there are still around 300 titles I don't have that I hope to pick up over the years. |

I've taken a physical only stance on a lot of things. Other than video games, for example, I am staunchly CD only now when buying music. I have a huge list of albums I had bought digital of that I am in the process of slowly buying CDs for. Sire I use an iPod to listen to my music, but everything I own will be in disc format. There is nothing better than opening a new album, popping the disc in the player and listening through it. |

I have over 60 physical real cd's (not bootlegs) and I actually have about 30 vinyl albums as well from Hendrix to the Beatles to Madonna to Redman and Methman on vinyl. I love music :D |

Nice, I'm sitting at just under 200 cds. I have a wishlist of over 100 more that need to be bought, including digital ones that need replacing. |
