Download or Buy?

Re: Download or CD?

The good thing about downloading games is that they can pretty much last forever because CD's get scratched and smudged and broken, and you eventually have to replace it.

But then again, there's no real way to take the game somewhere else or trade it in if you don't like it.

I would personally say the CD, as long as I take good care of it.

CDs can last for a long time if you treat them correctly. Downloading isn't particularly great as you lose the game if your computer crashes, unless you're subscribed or signed up to some sort of service with a password that allows you to redownload the game.

I'd probably pirate it online. If I was actually going to buy it, though, CD. Definitely.
Hard drives aren't always reliable.

I would DEFIANTLY download it. I'm sick of my games getting scratched then me having to buy a whole new copy.

Wow, this is really weird. It appears that the voting is about even. Some say yes, some say no, some say it depends on the game.

Wow, I would have expected 1 side to clearly win, but so far, it hasn't happened.
