Nah, not for me thanks. I like my game to come in a box with a playable version of the game straight off the cart. I'm an archaeologist and often work abroad for a few weeks at a time in places that still have steam trains let alone decent internet. I'm lucky to get dial up.
No physical = no purchase for me
(Unless I used my Nintendo reward points from registering the carts)
I wish studios would just stay independent. All this monopolising is bad news. It wasn't good for the music and movie industries and It won't be good for gaming.
I've got 8 ball pocket but it's a bit *****. Would pick it up if it was physical so if I was gonna get a game like this I'd get snooker 19 as you can get that physical.
I've not forgiven Microsoft for trying to get rid of physical games with the Xbox one. It's PS5 for me on principle even though I like the baccy compatibility on the Xbox series X.
@spirit_flame it's ownership 100% of the time for me. Imagine if I couldn't sell my motorcycle. It's mine I paid for it I can do what I like with it. Physical forever!!
@RAMYERSELL as an archaeologist let me correct you. The Romans did control part of Scotland up to the anotine wall in the central belt. Edinburgh was part of England in the Saxon times and yes Scotland is British despite what the nutty nats say.
As a collector I love it I think the games should all come with manuals still it's kinda ridiculous that they don't imo. Don't come at me with all this global warming paper nonsense either these are video games not junk mail.

Re: Poll: DOOM Eternal Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@TIND I get what you mean but at the same time I like to actually own my games and I love collecting.
Re: Poll: DOOM Eternal Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
No physical copy no purchase that's my rule. Only digital games I have are bought with points from registering the physical copies.
Re: DOOM Eternal Switch eShop File Size Revealed
@Jester151 millions of gamers care about actually owning their games myself included. Don't make pointless sweeping statements.

Re: Mini Review: Pure Pool - As Close To The Real Thing As You'll Get On Switch
I've got 8 ball pocket but it's a bit *****. Would pick it up if it was physical so if I was gonna get a game like this I'd get snooker 19 as you can get that physical.
Re: Nintendo Wants To Know Whether You Prefer 2D Or 3D Zelda Games
3D. 2D is old fashioned.
Re: Descenders' Last Update Added A Secret World That 'Less Than 0.1% Of Players' Will Find
It's a good game I'm enjoying it so far kinda reminds me a bit of downhill domination.
Re: Rumour: Has Nintendo Accidentally Leaked Metroid: Samus Returns For Switch?
It's cool if it's true. Still a prime trilogy port would be better.
Re: Descenders Is Yet Another Switch Success Story, Six-Figure Revenue Earned In Opening Weekend
My copy is being delivered by Amazon tomorrow. £24 hope it's worth it.
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
I've not forgiven Microsoft for trying to get rid of physical games with the Xbox one.
It's PS5 for me on principle even though I like the baccy compatibility on the Xbox series X.
No physical games = no gaming for me.
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
@Terra I'm in exactly the same position.
Re: Take-Two Might Be Gobbling Up UK Veteran Codemasters
Could be a good situation for them both but I still prefer to have as many independent studios as possible as monopolies are bad.
Re: Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game – Complete Edition Rated By PEGI
Unless it gets a physical copy it isn't preserved. Does anyone know if PlayStation or no sex box got a physical copy?
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Appears To Be Getting A Physical Release On Switch In The UK
If it's all on the cart I'll buy it.
Re: Video: Does Cloud Gaming Work On The Nintendo Switch?
@geordie not if we don't buy it. Consumers have all the power.
Re: Video: Does Cloud Gaming Work On The Nintendo Switch?
@okeribok personally it's ownership or nothing for me.
Re: Video: Does Cloud Gaming Work On The Nintendo Switch?
No and even if it did I wouldn't want it. I want to own my games.
Re: What's Up With The Frame Rate In The Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Demo?
I didn't even notice anything was wrong with it tbh. Maybe it's my vintage Sony plasma.
Re: Talking Point: Cloud Gaming On Switch – The Pros And Cons Of The Cloud
@0blivion I agree 100%
Re: Talking Point: Cloud Gaming On Switch – The Pros And Cons Of The Cloud
@spirit_flame it's ownership 100% of the time for me. Imagine if I couldn't sell my motorcycle. It's mine I paid for it I can do what I like with it. Physical forever!!
Re: Talking Point: Cloud Gaming On Switch – The Pros And Cons Of The Cloud
@Slowdive amen it's ownership or nothing.
Re: Nintendo Shadow-Drops Another Nintendo Direct Mini, Watch It Here
@StevenG same. Streaming will totally devalue gaming just like it's done to music. TV is the only format it works for.
Re: Nintendo Shadow-Drops Another Nintendo Direct Mini, Watch It Here
@WillQuan yeah ***** possibilities. Streaming will be the death of gaming.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Speeds Into First Place
How? The Japanese don't have the floor space for this surely.
Re: Ring Fit Adventure Has Now Outsold Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Physical Sales In Japan
Didn't think the Japanese had an obesity problem?
Re: New Pokémon Video Series Explores The UK Areas That Inspired Sword And Shield's Galar Region
@RAMYERSELL as an archaeologist let me correct you. The Romans did control part of Scotland up to the anotine wall in the central belt. Edinburgh was part of England in the Saxon times and yes Scotland is British despite what the nutty nats say.
Re: Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy Launches On Switch In January
How come Xbox never gets these collectors editions? Is it because Xbox is desperate to get rid of physical games?
Re: Sniper Elite 4 Takes Aim At A November Release Date On Switch

Re: Random: Someone Made A Manual For Super Mario 3D All-Stars To "Complete The Physical Set"
As a collector I love it I think the games should all come with manuals still it's kinda ridiculous that they don't imo. Don't come at me with all this global warming paper nonsense either these are video games not junk mail.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Says Its Next Console Is Going To Be Very Much Like Its Other Consoles
@Dman10 I disagree mate I think physical media is important.
