Download games vs disc ps4






















Anything large group play related Rockband, random sports game A, Mario Kart, and other stuff of this nature I would definitely continue buying the physical version just so that if I was going to a friend's house and it would possibly get played there I could bring it just like I do with board games. Things that are mostly single player per console it would come down to price, pack-ins, and whether my ISP has my nuts in a vice over transfer caps at that point.

I can count on one hand the amount of games I have ever resold and those were really just trades for other things to friends anyways so that really doesn't factor in even though I have stated the ability to do so as a reason I would never buy digital in the past.

You can simply unplug the drive from your system, take it to your friend's house, plug it in to a system there and play whatever games that are on the drive once you've signed into Live. I bought Watch Dogs on digital, since the Gamnestop in my area wasn't really open for midnight release.

Good to know. This is something I will have to add into my decision of which one to get first, although it won't be something huge unless friends lean the same way not really a benefit if none of them have one too. There is still the whole ISP thing but that is something that will hopefully either get fixed or that I can manage around. Generally, I get multiplayer games on disc, while single player and indie games digital.

Sole exception was Metal Gear 5 demo, since Best buy was running a promotion. Discs are just way cheaper, plus I can ebay them when I'm done. However, I have bought digital indie games in sales. Digital makes a lot more sense for cheap small games that I won't play that often.

You'll be paying a lot of money for minimal and sometimes no benefit compared to a magnetic drive. I upgraded to a hybrid SSHD because the price difference was negligible compared to a straight HD and it sometimes offers slightly better speeds. That's true in the U. Since I rarely buy stuff on release day any longer, the physical disc is almost always cheaper. That bad?

That's depressing. Ulf wrote: That's true in the U. If they keep it up I won't have to be tempted by retail discounts, because I really don't want to suffer disc clutter like last generation.

Of the two MS, Sony , Sony definitely has the bigger and better sales more often. It's like MS is locked into a small of games each week it can handle, while in Sony's store, in Europe specifically, there could be dozens of items featured in sales. I haven't seen it cheaper than 40 on MS's store ever.

Could be the difference between a company that has long had content and knows from experience how the long tail works vs a company that's relatively new to the content game. Or it may be simply that Sony has so many more first and second party games that they can draw on to discount. Whereas Microsoft has to convince the 3rd party publishers to let them discount games or give them away.

Had a blast with that one. Even got the Platinum trophy. The cheaper a title gets, the less "extra value" the physical copy has for me, because of fixed costs shipping, packaging in reselling the disc. I feel like going hybrid is part of the reason it didn't make a difference.

But I can't say for sure. Hybrid drives confuse me. I don't know how it would be partitioned for PS4. If you can load just the OS to the SSD, you will notice faster boot times, but largely unchanged loading times. I can't read the article work network , but last time I checked, the SSDs were just a couple of millimeters too big to fit the PS4. Has to be less than 12mm [citation needed]. But unless you can decide what specifically goes into the SSD on a Hybrid Drive, then you won't see much of a difference.

I already owned LMSH on the and 8 bucks was certainly cheap enough to fire it up at any convenience. I've bought a few games on the cheap for that very reason.

And primarily on the PS3 because MS's stupid insistence on ripping off customers on hard drives and on the Vita, that's Sony too. If you buy a digital version of a game you already had on disc, it removes the requirement that you have the disc in the system to play.

You would now own the digital version of the full game plus whatever bonus content came with the digital purchase. Arma 3 Epoch Download Torrent. However, if you are more concerned about making a financially conscious decision, it seems to make more sense to buy physical discs as you can sell it later on when you beat the game; esp if it's a single player campaign orientated game.

Another dynamic to factor in is that if you often bring your games to your friend's house to play on their PS4 or if you often lend your games, physical disc is also the preferred option. So for myself, I've decided to go with physical discs as it's the better investment for your hard-earned money at a minor inconvenience of having to swap discs when I want to change the game.

For some gamers, the advent of the digital marketplace has been an immeasurable boon. For that second group, there's some bad news regarding the coming launch of Fallout 4: Even if you install from a disc, at least part of the game will have to be downloaded from Steam.

For your downloaded games - yes. You will just have to download the game onto both consoles. As long as you are using the account you purchased the game with, it should work. Digital purchases are linked to your account. Ps4 Download Game Bought On Disc I would like to be able to play the games I have at either place, without having to move the games between them.

What Jeff was saying is your liscence is on the disc itself, it probably doesn't count for a digital.
