Opinions/thoughts on downloadable games?

(1/6) > >>

desocietas:
I've had the same mindset when it comes to either music or video games... I just prefer the physical item, including the art, packaging, inserts.  Downloading games is definitely convenient and makes a lot of financial sense for smaller developers, but if I have the choice between downloading or buying a packaged game, I definitely go for the packaged game.

But then again... It's been over two weeks, and I'm still waiting on Best Buy to send me the Live Arcade Trio with Limbo, 'Splosion Man, and Trials HD...

When it comes to music, I HAVE to have a physical copy, IF it's a band I love. Now I have downloaded a bunch of music on iTunes and a couple bands I have their full disco. But, for the most part, I prefer the actual copy.

Games, I'll buy the physical game every time, unless, the cost is ridiculously different. For example, I bought a TG16 game on Wii. Because of price. I don't own a Tubro-Grafix 16 and would need to buy one just to play it, plus the cost of the game.

desocietas:
I also refuse to buy used games if they don't at least have the box (with original cover) and manual.  The display case of used cart-only DS and Game Boy titles at GameStop makes me so sad.

scott:
Ya if I am buying a used game that was in a jewel or dvd case, you best have your booklets/ artwork. Or I will pass it up, unless it's part of a bundled lot of games.

atariboy:
I almost never buy downloadable games, I have to have a physical copy of all games, I am not liking the whole idea of downloading games. If the game comes out with a case and disc I will buy that over a download game. Same with my music I have to have the actual CD. Just my 2 cents.
