Digital:

This gen will be making digital copies more appealing with access to your digital library on any system and up to 4 people can be logged in to one profile at the same time , remote play with a ps vita from a digital stand point is the best way to go.

On the downside once you bought it, its yours for life no buy used or trade options and digital pricing, from what I have seen digtal prices tend to be 10 dollars higher when places like walmart and gamestop tend to cut the price after 90 days of the release date on most games. right now I can pick up some games at walmart for 19.99 and ps store still asking 39.99

Physical Disc:

On the other hand disc still have there appeal no/slow internet, A disc doesn't need it and you can buy used or trade in old games at will. theres a certain filling you get from physically owning a disc vs digital own copies
you don't have to give out log in info or lend out your profile to lend a game out

the savings can be huge during the holiday season ie (Black Friday) AAA titles that released in September to October often go on sale for 29.99 and buy one get one free deal are hard to beat and offseason if you know where to look you can find used copies of games that are just over 60 days old for as low as 39.99

On the downside the only thing I can think of is remote play the only game you can remote play would be the one that's in the system

For me im going more digtal this coming gen i dont trade my games and i dont buy used games so theres no real lost there

but limited to the type of games mmo's for sure will be digital where is sports title will be disc copy or i might go digtal for all day one titles and go disc for anything that im willing to wait on for a better price i cant wait to use remote play with my vita

edit: On a side note I was polling outside of the playstation plus program, like i said in a early post with ps+ factored in everyone would say both

For the current generation, I had preferred the digital versions far more than the disc based.. People often debate the issue of do you own digital content like you do disc based.

I am still on the fence as to which way I will lean.. Recently, my ps3 HDD took a shit; I lost all of my games at the same time our internet was down for a day or so... So I had no access to all my games. Because of that experience I feel that I am leaning more towards disc.

I may use digital a bit more if the price is the same or cheaper than the physical disc. With the ps3
digital was always more expensive which put me off it.

have never been a fan of digital games, one of the reasons i dont game on pc.

both make valid points getting your username banned would suck if all you had was digital copies but its more likely you be banned from a certain game as oppose to a complete ban

and losing your hard drive and internet at the same time is just plain bad luck the chances, i'd freak out haha

im wondering if I have 2 ps4's can they play the same digital title at the same time?

i would say digital if since its digital and they have now cut out the middle man gamstop, walmart ect all digital copies should be cheaper, this is what steam does and what mircrosoft tried to do but presented it so badly that the whole thing blew up in there face.

I'd prefer both for different games and apps.

Digital it takes a while to download, as most people nowadays has speeds that is 1mbps and its slow as hell to download a 10 gb game, it would take like a decade. I say disc version is better as you don't have to worry about losing memory off your hd.

So if we can't access our account, we can't play our games? So the games won't be playable offline like the games on PS3 when offline? Because I do that a lot.

It depends what game it is if I want digital or Disc version of that game.
