Making the switch to digital...

[Brad Company]

Yeah, that's the risk with digital. I've only been burned a couple of times, GTA5 being the biggest culprit.

I went digital with Batman: Arkham City last week during the "Batman Sale" and just cancelled my pre-order of the Show 17 with Amazon and went digital with that too.

Picked up Arkham Knight last week and AssCreed Syndicate this week in the sales. Both are complete versions with all DLC.
Both were less than $20, pretty solid. Also grabbed GoW3 remaster for $6 and GoW2HD for the PS3 for $2.50.
If you get the PS newsletter e-mail,check for a 20% code for the store. Used mine for AssCreed.

What was the sale price of Assassin's Creed Syndicate? I would have considered the digital version.

I need to sign up for the newsletter. Thanks for the tip.

[Brad Company]

Syndicate Gold is $20.79 right now.

I was looking at the standard version. Thanks again...Gonna pick this up tonight. I didn't realize the Jack the Ripper DLC is included!!! That DLC alone is $15.

The Pro patch for the game has it looking sharp.

[Jason]

I bought it last night and downloaded all the DLC. Looking forward to playing it on my lowly standard PS4.

My copy of The Show 17 downloaded last night too. Can't wait for Tuesday.

Post detailed impressions of the Show, I need to know if I should pick it up in July for $20.

[Jason]

Add PES 2017 to list of games I've moved to digital with. Couldn't pass up PES 2017 for $20 digitally during the current sale.

No FIFI for you?

[Jason]

Already switched from FIFA 17 disc to FIFA 17 digital a few months ago.

I've long thought CoD should be this way, as well as sports. Those numbers are hard to ignore.

[Jason]

CoD and sports games get people to buy the latest version every year for $70+, plus the DLC, VC and other bullshit, so I don't think they'd do that until year-to-year sales start really dropping. I'm sure plenty of people would pay $40 for a Madden roster and game updates every year, but EA has no incentive to do that since everyone apparently has no problem paying $70+ every year for a "brand new" game.

As for me, I like seeing publishers provide on-going support and adding new content to existing games. I recently picked up Ghost Recon Wildlands, while it was on sale for $20, knowing that Ubisoft is still supporting the game.

I've also become a big fan of digital purchases. I was against them during the Xbox 360 and early PS4 years, but I'm all in now. Of the 70 games installed on my PS4, only 4 are disc-based (GTA V, NASCAR Heat 2, Tekken 7 and PES 2018) and they'll be replaced once the digital versions go on sale. I like the convenience, instant purchase and not having to worry about late/damaged orders.
