GT6: Which format will you buy?

[LeadFootLiam]

For the people who have not or will not preorder GT6. Will you get the Digital or Blu Ray copy of GT6?

For the ones who have already preordered GT6, would you have rather purchased the Digital version, or stuck with the old fashioned disc?

Lemme know brothas.

Just Blu Ray Disc for save a lot of GB than digital version.

Blu Ray Brochacho! I have this weird thing for having a physical copy of things. I still buy the occasional CD if it's from a band I really like.

I prefer to have a hard copy in case I'm without Internet access and something goes awry with my PlayStation3's HDDs (I swap them from time to time depending on what I'll be playing/what I'll be using the system for).

It's also handy to have a hard copy if you're taking the game to a friend's house so you can install on their system if they want to try it, and if they like it, they'll be ready to play from the get-go once they purchase it, albeit if there are any mandatory patches that must be taken care of first.

Disk, the download is ridiculously big for Australian internet.

 

[RACECAR]

Prefer disc, partially out of habit going back to the Playstation days and partially because the pre-order incentives (that I liked anyway) that seem only available on the disc version.

 

[deadbob777]

Disc, because it's all about having a "my pile of games is bigger than yours" fight, winning and all that non-sense, even as we get older that doesn't change, just well the subject.

 

[SagarisGTB]

Disc. I've got every (main series) GT game on a disc and it's sort of becoming a small collection.

A hard copy also seems far more future-proof.

 

[FRoSTeD]

I haven't pre-ordered yet. Might just have to get the digital version. I have an SSD and I'm sure the digital version would gain some benefit from being completely on the drive. Plus I could have the same digital copy on two PS3s!

 

[The_Rpg_Moogle]

As a videogame collector: well I guess you already know

 

[Gejabo]

Yes!! Another poll.

 

[iLex]

Although neither 'dawg' nor 'bro' is something I'd say… I went for the 'bro' option….

 

[GBWH1991]

I'll likely end up with both! I have my Anniversary Edition preordered at GAME but will likely get the digital download too...

 

[Crowood]

Definetly blu ray...but my blu ray laser died last weekend, allready ordered the laser replacement, should be fine till Dec 6th.

Disk, the download is ridiculously big for Australian internet.

Is it that bad? I have only 10MB ADSL which means I can download at 1MB/second. (and it is by far the best you can get here)

I play on PC as well (I also own like 20+ games bought straight from PSN on the PS3) and I use to download games with more size than that...RAGE was like 24GB + 4GB from the DLC, then Max Payne was like 28GB alone, 18GB for GTA IV. Also almost every game is above 10GB now a days.

You get used to the waiting times...you just put it there and do something else...watch a movie or read GTPlanet or even play a game meanwhile.


I have more than 40+ PS3 games in the box though, and I like having them in their physical form but since on PC I´m used to download everyone of them (more than 120, not all installed)...I wouldn´t mind to download GT6 to my 250GB HDD. (half of it is free yet)
But I also own the Signature Edition of GT5, at that time if I had the choice to buy it through PSN I wouldn´t do it for sure for the obvious reason...We waited for so long for GT5 and it felt more "special" than getting GT6 now...even if it is the anniversary edition, my reason to get the box will be to get the 2nd APEX book which was really cool. Not sure yet which one to get.

I think load times will be better on the blu ray version because the game will pull data from the both disc and the HDD.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Blu Ray.

 

[ZeroTheNorth]

Ill have the Blu Ray.

 

[Bluntified]

Only physical for me. It looks nicer on a shelf.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Blu-Ray. I like to have physical copies of games and my internet download speed is crap. It'd take nearly an entire day to download GT6 and then fully install it.

 

[Cosbuster]

It's likely that the disc version might provide better loading of assets like other demanding games so might as well go with that to be sure. The extra space you save as well as the cheaper price in some regions isn't a bad deal either.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

After my long and painful exprience of downloading the The Last of Us, I've vowed to always get physical copies of games whenever possible. GT6 is no exception.

 

[zzz_pt]

Blu-ray.

I agree. Hard drive installation would be ok if PS3 had more RAM. Now it needs constantly load something and combination of disc and hard drive offers likely better performance.

 

[John Wells]

Blu-ray for me too.

There is living proof of that. GTA 5 has performance issues on Digital than Disc. I got the disc already set, since I don't want to use 50GB of my 67GB left for GT.

 

[KKHN]

BD version.

I want to smell the warm disc after it comes out from the PS3.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Depends on which one is available first. I can pick up the disc version at lunchtime on the 5th. If the download is available before that then I might download instead.

 

[carracerptp]

When every house has 100Mbps download, I'll get the digital copy. Till then blu-ray.

 

[KWZX10]

Disc, i like to have a ''real'' copy...and also 2 days to dowload a digital copy are too long for me.
