Amazon UK has started offering customers the choice of either digital or physical when it comes to Nintendo Switch games. However, the downside of this is that the digital copies cost more than the physical copies, which is generally the case. The current games available digitally are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and 1-2 Switch.
My reason for getting physical over digital for BOTW is because the Eshop is going to be overloaded with people downloading games, causing the download to take forver
*forever
The way the title is worded it sounds like your downloading the actual system, lol.
yeah me too XD, I was like, WTFyou can download a system now? is it the future already!
Lol
There will be a day when the consoles themselves will be downloaded to your TV.
Lol. I guess in a way if cloud gaming becomes a big thing that will kinda be the case. Nvidia is doing their paid cloud gaming subscription now. Its pretty expensive tho.
Why the hell would digital cost more? It’s the same game without all the physical packaging, and materials to print it. Ridiculous
I will never go digital, never. …
I prefer physical, especially since they’ll be cartridges. Also, low storage is a minor bummer (though I’ll just get an SD card). I’ll only get digital when it’s the only option for a game or there’s a big discount..
20 days left!
The reason I prefer to buy digital is to avoid paying taxes for my corrupt government.
Not on XBOX lol, these suckers still charge you taxes. Thats why I still go digital with all my XBO games.
*physical (not digital.)
I don’t have a Xbox, so I don’t know, but I have a play4, wiiu and 3ds, and 90% of my purchases are digital from another country. If a buy a retail copy in Brasil I will pay 60% more in taxes. And if I but a retail from another country I’ll pay 60% of taxes counting the game price more the shipping costs, so they charge importation taxes in the shipping cost as well, it’s ridiculous.
Having digital games on the 3DS was so convenient. I’ll definitely buy digital games on the Switch. Having every game always with you ready to play on a portable device is pretty awesome, especially for games that are either multiplayer or a big time sink.
Digital costs more?! No reason to ever buy digital then, when there’s also a physical copy!
Ah, at least 1-2 Switch has a digital option. Perfect for when you’re having a Splatoon 2 LAN battle and don’t want people seeing its case on your shelf.
