Do you still buy physical copies of games?

[Julius Seeker]

Or have you gone full digital yet? If you've gone full digital, when was the last time you bought a physical copy of a game for yourself?
Gifts don't count... Digital games as gifts makes a Christmas party kind of lame =P

For me, my last physical copy of a game that I purchased for myself was New Super Mario Bros U back in 2012. The reason I bought it physical is due to a sale being had at Old Navy where they would give me one free with the purchase of a few sweaters =P

Otherwise, all of my game purchases have been digital since 2012. This includes 3DS, Wii U, and PC.

How about the rest of you?

Probably something back in the PS2 era. Maybe Wild Arms Alter Code F? That came out fairly late I think.

At the time I purchased it I thought I had to buy StarCraft 2 as a physical copy, but the last physical copy I bought even though I had alternatives was Fallout 3 because it wasn't on Steam at the time and I wanted to pre-order it. My Steam library is at 280 and I'd guess only ~10 of those are f2p. Back when I first got my DS (2006? 2007?) I bought a bunch of those games physically, but that was before Fallout 3... Oh shit I just remembered I bought Catherine a couple months before my 360 red ringed and I didn't care enough to get a new one/get it repaired so that's the last game I bought physically. Damn if I count my 360 there's a good 5 or 6 games I bought quite a while after my Fallout 3 purchase. This post is falling apart all around me.

But I'm so hooked to digital games that in the past I actually considered buying Fallout 3 AGAIN on Steam just so it would be in my library.

Physical for anything over 40 bucks (if possible).

Last physical copy I bought was Pikmin 3.

If it's a multiplatform game, I typically buy it on PC, which means Steam or Origin(If it's EA only).

For console games, if it's something that's been out for a long time, I'll buy it digitally if it's on sale, or if the price is just right. I honestly can't remember the last time I bought an older game physically.

The only game I bought physically for my 3DS or PS Vita was Persona 4 Golden, rest are all digital

If it's a brand new game I can't get on PC, I'll usually preorder on Amazon and get it the day of release if I'm really pshcyed about it(INFAMOUS: SECOND SON). This works out since most games come out on Tuesday, and I have work anyway, so it's waiting for me when I get home and I don't have to worry about midnight madness.

If I'm stupidly hype about a game I might digitally order it so I can play the minute it goes live @ Midnight. I actually did this with some Blizzard games, where I'd buy a digital copy while I waited for my collector's edition to come in.

I'm about 50/50.

On the PC side, I would not even consider buying a physical copy of a game. With Steam sales and Humble Bundles, I have about 60 games in my library that I need to play anyway.

On the console side, I typically buy anything that is "big budget" as a physical copy because I have a sweet deal with a buddy where we share games. I'll buy one, he buys one. We use this the most with Vita games, but we also share PS3 games.

I have bought a lot of smaller titles on the Vita because of sales though. Sales are usually the only thing that pushes me towards digital copies.

For consoles, yes. I buy about five games a year now and most of em are physical. Last physical was either GTA5 or Ni No Kuni.

The last two I bought digital were FF4 for PSP and The Banner Saga on Steam (digitals only).

I don't see much point for me to buy digital console titles at this point because physical copies tend to be the same price or cheaper, and I can get a couple bucks for them when I inevitably sell my 360 and PS3 within the next year.

PS Plus made me get a 32GB memory card for my Vita ($30, great deal) and upgrade my PS3s hard drive to a 500GB one ($50....OK price for a brand new one). The Club Nintendo games I get for free won't even come close to using up the 32GB on my Wii U. Aside from that, I just wait 'til the 50%+ off sales on the systems and get the games then. Happens often enough I can't keep up with just the freebie downloadable games I have. I only really pay for the ones I really want (like Trials Evolution).

Ain't nothin' wrong with digital games.....at the right price. And I will always pay a premium for the physical copy, such as Minecraft, Ducktales, or The Walking Dead (ended up getting the Back to the Future digital for $10 before they announced the physical.....asses). That's a no-brainer to me to pay an extra $5. But if the digital were $15 cheaper? The TellTale ones you can usually do for a decent price but I can usually get the physicals for $15 or less, I just wait for those.
