Why did you choose to buy Digital PS games?

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

Specially for those gamers who source their games in PSN store. What are your reasons you choose to buy your games in a digital format?

Curious also of your location? Just wanted to know if Pinoys had already adapted to digital based gaming whether full or partial only and what are their hindrances of getting digital based games.

PSN+ and Sony Rewards. I'd still take disc based games if given the choice. The hindrance of digital gaming will always be speed/bandwidth and space. For now, I don't have problems with space since I was able to upgrade my PS3's HDD to a 1TB SSHD but soon it will eventually be filled. Speed and bandwidth are the next since our local ISPs aren't really that generous in matching first world Internet infrastructure.

My ISP is PLDT myDSL with a speed of 3Mbps and I live in Marikina.

as mentioned above, it's very hard to find disc versions of some of the games I like (i.e. old titles and high ranking games and I just got my PS3 mid-2013).

R1 games here are also very few and far between as its an R2 region/area. also digital games are more likely to be included during sales though you can still get good discounts for disc-based games if you know where to look and are in the right location (mostly US based)

I used to prefer physical games. But now, I usually buy digital na rin. Mahalaga na sakin yung physical space sa bahay.

Meron pang 1 magandang dahilan. Flash Sale! Ang laki ng bagsak presyo kaya sayang kung hindi i-take advantage. :lol:

1) Sales / big discounts

2) Less wear on the PS4's BD drive & lens

Hindi na reason sa akin masyado yung convenience, since ok pa naman sa akin tumayo at palitan yung game disc. :lol:
