Physical copy of the Super Deluxe comes in a Steelbook case, which is cool. I want it.

Outside of physical damage, Iā€™ve never had a CD or DVD fail on me once, and Iā€™ve been doing this work for 20 years now. Thats not to say it canā€™t happen, but compare that to how I see HDDs fail every damn day, and itā€™s hard to make a case for using a HDD.

The main advantage to owning a physical copy is that you can sell the game once you tire of it, or end up not really liking it. Also, you can get a discounted version by buying used. These options arenā€™t available to digital only users. Plus, if it costs the same price whether you buy a physical copy or digital, I will 10/10 buy the physical copy. I donā€™t understand why they donā€™t knock some off the price when you buy digital, because they are saving money on disks, packaging, and shipping costs. Why pay the same price to get less? I prefer physical copies all day!

Another reason to receive physical media, apart from reselling and being a collector, is, in my opinion, the opening of the market to almost any retailer and thus price control for the benefit of the consumer.

Digital is more convenient, yes, but a steelbook is a steelbook. I therefore buy emotionally, mostly digitally, but in the case of Borderlandsā€¦ Hardware! :smiley:

Iā€™ve got a 3 TB USB drive plugged in the back of mine. Extremely convenient. Havenā€™t had a problem running games off it either, although the ones played most in the household are on the internal.

I do have a PS4 pro though I plan to play this game on PC. However the small HDD sizes and it not being an SSD felt a little annoying. I havenā€™t felt like opening the PS4 pro yet to install a larger internal SSD. Instead I went a bit lazier route that was still fairly inexpesive an purchased a larger external SSD to store and run the game software from which has mostly solved the whole having to uninstall something to install something else issue while giving a slight improvement to load times.
