I'm mostly physical; can't get early copies digitally. Wii U is a piece of crap that has 8gb memory so I've never even tried with that. I have D4 on the Xbox, and that's only available digitally. I'm a creature of habit I guess. I don't get the time to play many games, so I can't say it makes a difference to me. I see the convenience in it though, but I don't see an issue with sticking to physical considering some of the pitfalls.

I'm not driving to gamestop for anything.
I think the benefits of going digital on PC outweigh the disadvantages.
Not sure what console manufacturers are doing. I've had to fight to get games I own back because I bought them digitally and then my Xbox 360 broke like everyone else's did. I've seen situations where pre-loaded digital games were not ready to play several hours or even close to a full day after the physical release could have been purchased at the store. Plus, the hard drives on these consoles are not enough to support a bunch of 40-50 GB games unless you want to manage installing and uninstalling and then whenever you want to play a game you uninstalled you're facing hours of downloading depending on your ISP. Not to mention the ISPs that have bandwidth caps. It's basically a mess.

Okay, sub Gamestop for Wal-Mart
Fuck Wal-Mart too
So where do you people buy your games? Amazon? Because L-O-L they treat their warehouse employees so shitty that Wal-Mart and Gamestop look stellar by comparison.

I think you vastly underestimate how shitty Wal-Mart treats their employees.
I use to live in NYC, so there where places everywhere,use to get games early. Now I live in FL for college all digital baby.

I'm acquaintances with someone who works in an Amazon warehouse and it sounds like all their employees are at least slightly off balance.

To be honest, I wish I cared more about how the companies treat their employees but I'm not a fan of gamestop because some of them have a weird aroma.

The point is that they are both shitty. Neither is "stellar" in comparison to anything, especially not one another.

Are you going to go to a store to buy your games or just download them? Also, direct deposit? Wouldn't you rather have a nice, tangible paper check that you get in the mail and you can take to the bank (or in your case, check cashing store)?

You lose a ton of consumer rights going digital. Until that's fixed I'll stick with mixing it up between physical and digital.
There is a Gamestop at the end of my block. Still too lazy to put pants on.

An all digital future is for people with decent internet, which I don't fall under

Perhaps in the US, but UK customers are rather well protected when it comes to physical goods. Digital goods are behind the times, ironically, when it comes to consumer laws, but that's slowly changing.
Example - FIFA 15. I bought it digitally from PSN Store, Sony say I can only contact them via phone, which has/had a 60 minute wait to get through to someone. They then said I had to contact them via email, 2 weeks later they replied I couldn't get a refund as I had played the game.
Naturally, I had played the game and upon playing the game discovered the faults/flaws with the game. If I had bought it from the store I would have been able to return it for a refund regardless if I had a played it or not, since one of the key features of the game wasn't working as intended and advertised.
All EULA are null and void under EU Law, however that seems to be ignored by many of the US Based Digital Services even though they deal internationally and should adhere to the laws of the countries they trade in, regardless.

Bryan is doing some charity work today, I'm sure we'll hear about it this Monday on RAW -- Live 8ET USA Network.

The City of Philadelphia is not...fast
Law trumps Customer Service. Just threaten them with 2011/83/EU and they'll shit their pants and do whatever you want.
In the US with digital game purchases you are pretty much taking it up the tailpipe regarding consumer rights. UK is still ahead of the US even in the digital rights realm.
