Made the decision to try to get a disc version possibly this week. Realising more and more the mistake I made getting digital, wanted the console so much at the start of the year that I didn’t really think it through enough.
you just can’t get deals in the way you can for disc. I can’t justify paying 70 quid for ratchet and clank as an example which can be completed in a day or two, had a discussion with my brother about it and it’s a real issue for me. I don’t mind paying that amount for sports games or games like a GTA that you can genuinely sink hundreds of hours into, just can’t justify it digitally for a game that you can play through in such a short space of time and then it has no resale value, at least with the disc you could get some of the money back if you really wanted to get rid. Ratchet is definitely a great example, I could pay full price on digital yet if I had the disc version I could pick it up for 30 quid on Facebook, saving 40 quid in the run and likely be able to recoup some of that money too when I completed it if I wanted to. In the long run the disc version saves so much more money, i talked myself into getting the digital version when I badly wanted the console at the start of the year, I think a lot of thedecision was down to how hard it was to get one and the price at the time having to buy it as a bundle. There’s also the added bonus of being able to use rental services with the disc version. The extra 100 or whatever it is is without a doubt worth paying on the disc version short term and long term.
Hoping to pick up the disc version this week, bit gutted as could have got it from Argos last week.
