Thank the gods for the UK consumer protection racketDownloads are much better for me because I was always horrible at keeping my physical copies in pristine condition.

So keep the original for making the backupsI'll just break the backup as well.
The dreaded scratch on the CD's!Downloads are much better for me because I was always horrible at keeping my physical copies in pristine condition.
Used games suck. I can't tell you how many XBOX 360 and XBOX ONE games I had to resurface and repair over the years because people are unable to take care of their games before they trade them in.
Ever come across a game thats scratched so badly you cannot save it?
Yea. JFJ DVD buffing machines can only do so much.
Whats that?
Ever since digital downloads became a thing I have much preferred to go for that option over having a physical disc. With me not having a lot of space now to be able to store the games physically, knowing I have them and they are stored for me without needing space to do so in my home is something I prefer.
In theory, I prefer physical copies. In reality though I've almost entirely shifted over to digital which I never thought would happen since I was one of the ones arguing against it early on. It started with some games having exclusive items I wanted in digital versions, like Playstation avatars & themes or skins or whatever. Then the sales are always much better on digital games these days. And then somewhere around the way I realized I was buying way more digital than not.
They don't take up that much space though.
Sounds like you didn't have a choice.
It's an expensive buffing system that movie rentals like Movie Gallery and Game Stop use to have for DVDs.
I prefer physical copies myself, especially if it's a game in my favorite gaming franchises. I don't mind buying digital games here and there though too.
