Maybe it's just me, but why would I want to just download the game, instead of having a physical copy? If I don't have a physical copy, I can't play the game anywhere else except at my house. Not that I travel around with it, but still.........

For me it is about being able to start the game anytime without needing to swap discs. So if I have a copy of Bloodborne or some other game in the drive I can jump to MLB without swapping discs. MLB is a game I will keep going back to all year. The only other reason for a physical copy is trade in value but that is usually so small by the time next years game is released that I don't bother.

And I have no idea what I will use my stubs for. I can't decide.

I hear ya. It's a good reason. I've considered it myself, but I thought you never know, if I want to take the game somewhere to play it, I can't.

So you mean if you take it to someone else's console? Like a friend's or relative's home? Because if that's what you mean, you have to remember that you their console still needs to download the game, even if it's a disk. I recently re-downloaded MLB 14 to see how long it took and it was almost a whole day

Yeah that's what I mean. Wow a whole day? I actually got MLB 14 for Christmas with my new PS4, and the game download was only like a half hour. A whole day sounds crazy to me.

Well it was a digital download and I was playing other games. I'm still not sure if digital downloads take longer than disks, but I guess they do.

I just go digital with The Show because there's only like $10 in trade in value around this time of year (when I would sell it). I'd rather not take the $10 so I never have to switch the disk because I'll play this most days anyway.

Downloads take significantly longer in general. It depends on your internet connection.

The disks are almost always done downloading or are at least playable in less than a minute.
