Do You Prefer Downloading Games From PSN, Or The Cold Hard Disc?

I don't know. I think i'd prefer disks because i'd be worried that my ps3 might suffer some sort of malfunction and i'd lose my games.ollyd122

Same here, i'd love to DL warhawk, but i dont want something evil to happen and make me... I dont even know what happens, i'm guessing you can re-DL it atleast once more without buying it again, but after that what then? And in 6-7 years i'll be able to sell my PS3 for a high price with all the games, if they're on the HDD i wont beable to do that unless i give them my PSN account, and thats not an option...

I want the disc... and the box.. first of it looks better and you are actually collecting something that might be worth money eventaully...

And I don't like waiting for downloads but I like searching in shops looking for game bargains

depends on the size of the game. if the game is 1.5-2.0GB at most... then i'll download.

although i'm getting the BD version of Warhawk just to get the headset.

I would prefer the disk version, but if there was a significant price difference then I may just download the game. Honestly though, even then I would probably just buy the disk version. I like to have the disk, case and instruction book, plus I enjoy going to the store and buying my copy. Also, if it turns out you don't like the game you cannot sell it/trade it in if you download it.nyc05

You cant trade a download in that's all I'll say. I remeber when SONY first announced the PS3 was coming and a buddy of mine told me that all games would be download only for it. I nearly had a heart attack.Liams

exactly there is no way to trade or sell a DL game on ebay or to gamestop whatever, so not saying i would want too just the idea if you did you lost that choice

Disc.....i prefer having things on a hard copy's in case something happens to the memory on the consolelegandary_ACE

Same here. Besides, if I had Dl'ed resistance, what would I have to curl upnext toat night?:|

If Warhawk(PSN) is $40 , then I will go for the disc to get the $20 bluetooth heaset. The box looks nice too. If Wahawk is $30 or less for the download I will just download it and use my wired socom headset. I like the idea of having a multiplayer game right there at any time. I will just download Socom if it is cheap and good.

Now that that full games like SOCOM: Confrontation, and Warhawk are being made available to download from the PSN, do you prefer downloading full games, or going out and buying the game so you can have it on your shelf? I myself prefer owning a cold hard copy of the game, so that it bulks up the PS3 game section of my shelf, (and boxes are purdy), but what do you like?jamejame

well i want the game on disc, i mean whats the use of bluray when all they are gonna do is put it on downloadable, i can understand if you have like an external 350gig hdd, but seriously whats the point? what happens if the downloaded file gets corrupt??? do they keep it all on file so you can just download it again without paying for it?

If it's downloadable your can share it with a friend by logging on his PS3 and download on his PS3. so five guys with 10$ each can all play the same with a reduced cost. nice huh.

But for warhawk i'll get the hard disk version for the bluetooth device included.

its bad enough having to wait for demos, imagine having to download a whole game

ipre-ordered the disk (and box, of course) of warhawk. instant pleasure.

a good point. a game would take up a huge chunk of the harddrive. anyone know how many gigs warhawk will be?

May be different in my case since 4+ stores that sell videogames are all within a 2 minutes walk from my place, EB Games being the closest i think on launch day i ran there in 10 seconds

how can it be so small? the two-and-a-half minute long heavenly sword demo was bigger than that. the darkness demo was twice as big as that

you lucky b*stard :P , my closest his 15 minutes one way and the otherway 30 minuts... (no the moped btw, europe) and I usualy go to the 30 minute one because it his superior in everyway and when I get there I am in reach of 5 places that sell games because its a city center.

probably mistaken with the beta

Downloads are great, and I'll take all I can get. But I just love having a nice collection of actual games in their cases to show off.

Most definitley the disc version its just a whole lot safer. I mean, if something happens to my harddrive or ps3 in general *knock on wood* my game would most likely be gone for a while. With the disc i am assured it is safe and it looks nice. Ifi wanted to takeit to a friends house, i have that option aswell and what not.

Disc boxed for me
