They need to hit 10 TB drives if I have to download them all to save them.

How many of those games would you really miss?

most of the ones I wouldn't miss are small. I have almost 2 TB taken up with system and game files right now and I have some games that I like but am not playing for a while not installed.

I used to like just hard copies.

But then my dog chewed through my Destiny disk.....

That's like saying if your living room caught fire and games burnt, you'd be free of that backlog.

All about the download for me.

Don't have to worry about scratched discs or lost discs.

Games will always be there as long as Amazon, Steam and Origin don't all die off.

On Vita I always download so I don't have to carry around a bunch of physical games. On PS4 and Xbone I do both depending on what kind of sale I can find.
