What's your preferred method?
Up until very recently I was always very much old school in the sense that I always had to have the physical copy of the game. As a collector, I always loved neatly displaying all of my games stacked together on shelving units.
But over time, I've come to appreciate the convenience and ease of going digital. Not only does it save a ton of space in the house, but you can buy a game from your couch and be playing it in no time at all. Plus, as a Canadian, the Playstation Store doesn't charge tax on digital titles (Xbox still does unfortunately) so for a $79.99 game that's essentially a savings of $10 just like that. And hey, not to sound lazy but who doesn't love having a bunch of digital games in your console instead of having to eject and switch discs every time you want to play a new one . Plus with pre-downloads for pre-orders you can pretty much play instantly at midnight if you so wish.
I've also come to realize that games will typically go on sale a lot quicker digitally than they will for the disc based copies, so my digital collection has quickly grown.
So what about you guys? What's your preference?
