Do you buy your games through DD like steam or going to a retail store and actually buy a hard copy?

DD. Much more convenient since I don't have a car anymore.

I have some DD games, but for the most part I prefer having a hard copy, and I always will. While downloading is convenient, it's time consuming. I'd much rather pull my disc out of the rack and install it. Plus, when you have the hard copy, you can always install it in the future, even if you aren't connected to the internet or if the company you bought the game from is gone (barring ridiculous and unfriendly DRM, of course).

I tend to go for Hard Copy. But recently i've been starting to buy DD copies, mostly through steam. Mostly DD older games rather than recently released or new releases.

I prefer having hard copies. Partly because I like looking at a physical library of games.

I generally go for Hard Copies unless, of course, the game is ONLY downloadable via Steam (and thats the only DD I use). Or unless the game is particularly old.
