Who else uses PSN to download full games?

Lately I've been using PSN to download the full games that they're putting up.

So far I've gotten: Borderlands, Warhawk, AC, ACII, ME2, TR:Underworld, Burnout Paradise, Infamous, and LittleBigPlant (Granted the last two were free)

I like it this way, games are always at my fingertips and never have to switch a disc. And best of all, they can't be stolen!

I like collecting boxes too because I love the artwork and showing off a collection and what not, but DD is very convenient, and quite frankly I don't have a problem with it taking over retail.

What is everyone else's opinion? I'll even add in a poll to keep things super simple.

I collect games, so boxes are awesome. I still have more physical copies than downloadable, but I do like dls as well.

You can redownload your games onto another PS3 if you have activation slots left. If not, keep your serial number and call sony to deactivate that one. They'll deactivate a system at any time as long as you have the serial.

I don't like downloading full games as my hard drive space is limited. I prefer to have a collection of boxes.

The only game I own that is available in a box for PS3 as well is Infamous. I only own it though because of the welcome back program. I have Record of Agarest War as well which comes in the box for 360 but not for PS3.

Understandable on that. I have a 120GB.. I have 143MB left right now, and haven't even downloaded one of the games yet..

But I'm upgrading to a 500GB next week. That should be plenty of room.

I prefer boxes for consoles and DD for PC.

Yeah boxes for PC are kinda just completely unnecessary.

I'm kinda a newbie to the whole game downloading thing, I got about 3 full games on my HDD...Tekken DR, Infamous and Assasins Creed 2.Even though I got a decent amount of space on my HDD I prefer to reserve the space for MP4's, MP3's . Storing full games on the HDD is convenant but not something I want to take full advantage of.

i prefer too to have my games on disc but where i live a new game cost like $90 so buying them from the psn its a great deal for me because of the price

If I have the choice of buying a boxed copy I'd ALways go for that I like to physically own my games. I know this may sound sad but I do like to look at my video game collection every now and then.

Digital distribution is amazing, but no one outside of the PC corporations have gotten it right, mainly because the networking in consoles is nowhere near as good as even low-end PC networking. In a generation or two when download speeds on consoles start to match those of PCs, then DD will start working. Until then, boxes will dominate.

Download full games from PSN? Dear God no! Aside from the fact I love boxes my internet is horrible!

It took more than 5+ hours just for the inFamous 2 demo.:x I couldn't imagine the wait for a full game.:?

lol dial up or what? xD

I'm "pro-disk". The service craps out, something happens (server and/or hard drive), I'll always have the disk and I can play whenever I want with a working console.

The only full game I have is LBP and that's because I got it for free. If they offered a disk, I would've taken the disk instead.

The only time I've ever done it is for the Welcome Back program. Otherwise I prefer physical copies - I can sell them if I don't like the game and I don't have to re-download everything if my PS3 dies.

If I had fast internet I would absolutely love digital distribution.

Thus, I hate digital distribution :P

AC2 is only 10 bucks to download and it includes all dlc!

i like it but they use so much space on my HD, but other than that i like to use it.

I've only gotten PS1 classics (FFVIII and Tomb Raider 2) and the two free games in full. I wouldn't rely on it too much because my download speed is horrendously slow. I like collecting physical copies anyway. Fun to have displayed in my room.

Digital releases of retail games on the Playstation Store are just too damn expensive. I mean £50 for inFamous 2 that's a ridiculous price. I think I'm going to stick with boxed games right now.

well i will download a few psn only games psone classics and games for my pspgo, but if the choice is to have a boxed copy or download i will always pick the boxed copy.. i like owning physical copies of my games.

i also like to buy the occasional collectors edition, and its quite upsetting that one day these will be no more when dd only becomes the norm.

I prefer phsyical discs, myself.
