I still say Doom would've been perfect for at least a two player co-op....I'll check Amazon later when I get home. Thanks for posting the Amazon deal.

I just don't like having to swap discs out. I'm not one to ever sell my games after I'm done with them, so it's just more convenient for me to have less clutter

I also greatly prefer digital because I don't trade my games in often, and because lazy.

All of that and if there is a successor generation, we've already seen how easy it is to maintain a digital library through backwards compatability.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
For me phone games really converted me to preferring digital. As the collection gets very large, the digital collection is much easier to manage than a physical collection. If Xbox moves to a model like that for their games with iterative systems and all of your games work going forward (which looks kinda like what they are doing), I will be super happy.

I'm all for it.

I wonder if GCU way back in the day was a preemptive attack on people going all digital. It certainly is one of only things keeping me buying physical, because if they were the same price, I think I prefer digital too just for ease of use. The games fully install anyway so you still use up space on your console, there are huge updates so the disk by itself is useless if the servers ever go away and you need to reinstall a game, and the cases are barebones with no instructions or anything. Heck sometimes I buy a cheap digital copy even when I already own the physical (sometimes unopened).

I only go digital for games I know I'll never trade in or get tired of. Something with replay value. Fallout 4, Just Cause 3, Rock Band 4, Deus Ex, stuff like that.

People seem to have forgotten that the whole reason Microsoft is in second place this generation is because they originally were planning on having the XBOX One be digitally only and the internet blew a gasket that they no longer could buy and sell used games so Microsoft went back on it. No way do they go digital only after that nonsense unless Sony does first.

I dump occasionally, I just wasn't on board with all digital because of sales/discounts. It's still far easier to find a deal on any given game than on the same game digitally(see Doom discussion above). There's little incentive for a company to offer sales if they have zero competition, and too easy to slide into price fixing (see the digital book market).

Plus so many games I try to rent first.
If the Xbox had truly gone Digital-only, there would have been no way to ever rent a game. I wasn't down with that at all.
I do prefer the convenience of digital, but not at a higher price.

I've always supported digital, and still do on consoles. Prices could be cheaper overall, but honestly I see enough good deals in general coupled with the benefits that I'm not significantly bothered by the difference versus physical in a lot of cases.

Hell, Gamers Club Unlocked equates to roughly B4G1 free for new $60 games(assuming my math is correct). That's just hard to compete with, even other B&M retailers. K-mart and Amazon $20 deals.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
maybe it's me....but I was looking at the Best Buy ad today where they have the Pre-Order Rewards for upcoming games...and everything listed is some "Deluxe, Legend or Ultimate Edition" at $79.00 or more. I wonder if Best Buy will just offer the GC deal on these versions only for now on....
