Decided to preorder Red Dead Redemption 2 using the Xbox app on my phone.

Got home two hours later and booted up my Xbone to start preloading the game. Couldn't find it in the ready to install list...because it was already installed.

Now we play the waiting game D:

I like the whole "don't have to get up and switch discs" aspect. It means I don't have to worry about putting my PS4 somewhere I can easily get at it to swap discs. Also I don't ever have to worry about losing or breaking a disc.

Also sucks if you have no space on your console and have to delete other games.


This is a problem even with physical games these days.

I love that you can install games onto your system from your phone. I hope next gen they let you delete games from your system (from your phone) in case you don't have enough space to install.

Yeah, that'd be great. Luckily I have a 2TB external so I won't run out for awhile.

I have no issue with buying digitally if that's all there is.

That being said, I still prefer physical media. I won't wait and hope for a limited run (Hollow Knight physical copies PLEASE), but I'll get physical if I can.

I would buy way more digital games if I didn't get 20% off of my physical game purchases at BB.

Remember when we have to manually patch our games?

I kind if wish us gone digital with my Switch. I think it would be more convenient that dealing with the cartridges.

Yeah I prefer physical, just didnt wanna deal with waiting for such a huge game to install on launch night. I'll probably pick up a physical copy in a year or so when it's like 20 bucks used so I have it on my shelf.

I hate physical games. I am playing God of War and Firewall Zero Hour at the moment and I keep having to swap discs like a pleb.
