    About to preorder and was just curious what you guys prefer? Is there a big difference? Ive always done digital but i have an older ps4, so I’m a little worried about space.

    SDS is a small company and put out a good product. In the midst of Covid we should…..show……..(see what I did there?!) support and buy both.

    I’m buying both AND each digital version on PS4.

    Support small business!!

    SDS is not a small business lmao

    I went digital, but I'm also on Ps5. Trade ins have no value anymore and there's no delay in playing, digital all day.

    Only real downside is if you lose internet you lose your games.

    Been digital for years, only because the laser disc reader has a shelf life, mine went out on my PS3 and rendered it useless unless you do everything digital, been digi since

    Ps3 died twice on me because of this.

    Digital.

    Been digital for years. Not only do I get the game at midnight, I can preload it and I don't have to go to the store at a weird hour (or at all!)

    Plus, I'm lazy and I play more than one game a night so I don't have to get out of my seat to switch discs....

    If I am not mistaken, the disc is just a delivery mechanism and DRM check. I believe both versions fully install on the PS drive.

    So I say digital.

    I haven't bought a disc in years, but I stupidly bought a physical copy of Horizon Forbidden West about a month ago. I got home and the installation crashed 4 or 5 times at the same spot. I guess there was an error on the disc. Had to drive back to Target to switch it out (new copy worked great). Lesson learned. No point in doing anything but digital.
