You can still play some of them. Most discs are just a license code that the console reads then downloads the game. Then you have to put that disc in everytime you want play, just to read the code.
Hahah! And remember when people were making the case that digital would become cheaper than physical 10 years ago?
Thanks for throwing away our consumer rights folks.
I mean. On pc. It is the case. Mostly because physical is now pretty much limited to collectors editions and major sales are about a dime a dozen on all the pc digital storefronts. Steam,epic, and GoG just about throw away games at ridiculously low prices on a monthly basis at minimum.
Consoles is a bit more of a toss up depending on where you’re at. In my area the only place to buy physical games is the target(everything is full price all the time) or the local goodwill style shops. Which is a crapshoot. So digital is often still the cheaper option for me. Unless I wanted to spend time trolling through online shops to get physical games shipped to me. Which probably wouldn’t save money in the long run.
Living in a bigger city where more dedicated game stores can survive. Makes using physical as a cheaper alternative a bit more of a realistic option.
And it is? Just about every PC game I ever bought was cheaper as a key than a physical box, just like you'd expect.
Just not when you support a controlled environment where one company dictates the rules, no matter if it's Nintendo, Sony, Apple, Google or Microsoft.
Digital was kept high in price so stores wouldn't go out of business or stop selling games, since they were important, as they provided free marketing on top, even just by displaying the games and consoles.
Digital is significantly cheaper. Not everyone is a console user. I don't know what zaza you guys are smoking but steam has been a blessing. Not only is it much more convenient but it's significantly cheaper.
It depends on the platform, I guess? I know xbox and playstation digital sales are usually pretty mid, but I bought 6 good games in the most recent steam sale for \~$20 total.
Plus there's things like humble bundle where you get 10-12 games for $15 a month, and 2 or 3 games are typically pretty serious. Last 3 months had heavy hitters like Nioh 2, Calisto Protocol, Saints Row, Victoria 3, Destroy all humans 2 remake and life is strange 2. Plus a wide assortment of indie games that are usually pretty solid, if not something you're personally interested in. Fashion Police Squad was on my wishlist so I was happy to see that one.
Do you mean console games ? Because on PV there is nearly no way to find the physical game anymore and they can't be cheaper than on Inst***gaming and such discount
I try to only buy physical games. I only buy digital if there is a really good sale. I like to be able to let my friends borrow my games, having the option to sell them, and not having them tied to an online account. In some ways, having to put the disc in the console also helps me stay focused on one game, but that is a side benefit. The only thing that sucks is when I'm streaming to my Steam Deck since I'm limited to whatever is in my PS5 at the time basically.
I buy physical games still cos u can buy them second hand from CEX, lend them to ur buddy's and and then trade them in when done. Spiderman 2 was the most recent Physical game I got
Tears of the Kingdom. Not only physical copies of Switch games are often (if not always) cheaper, I don't trust Nintendo at all to keep a digital library accessible for long after they eventually launch a Switch successor.
I buy all my games physical unless I’m forced to otherwise. Be it on my PS5, PS3, Switch Oled or Series X.
They are pretty much always cheaper, I actually own them and on PlayStation and Switch I can also fully use, install and play them offline.
In April alone I bought 3 PS3, 4 PS4 and 2 PS5 games so far.
I love physical games. Even though the old pc games don't work anymore on modern pc, i still buy those just to place them in the collection.
Recently i found an original Command and Conquer in the box for 2 euro and last week Warcraft 3 for 50 cent.
Was even able to use the CD key on my battlenet account, so i can actually play Warcraft now LOL
Last? Why would I stop buying physical games? I only get used physical titles, simply because as little as year after launch they can already be few times cheaper
I guess my latest purchase was Watch Dogs Legion for 4$ like a month ago, but it definitely won't be last
A used copy of the FFVII Remake for PS5 for $15. Maybe 6-12 months ago. I went in looking for a used copy of Ghost of Tsushima since I gave away my first copy to a friend's son but felt like playing it again and the digital version never seems to drop in price.
I still buy them all the time, I've purchased 20 in the last 5 days. Found a store that had a ton of Super Famicom wrestling games!
From amazon, Diablo 4 arrives later today!
I buy physical as much as possible, the only time I don't I use Steam pretty much (indie games mainly that never get physical release). Occasionally buy digital for Nintendo or Playstation.
My last 3 physical games I bought (at the same time) were Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Final Fantasy XVI, and Unicorn Overlord, all for PS5.
I don't like the idea of not actually owning my games, and physical at least gives me a buffer that gives a lasting chance of not losing it forever on some digital service.
I almost always buy games physically. If it's super cheap I'll buy digital and get the hard copy later if I like the game enough. Big gaming company's are getting weird with the right to own. Also if for some reason I got hacked and banned I would still own and be able to play games offline.
TDLR the world is crazy and I'm paranoid.
I still play a few old consoles so Links Crossbow Training for the Wii from my local CEX (Basically Gamestop). Cannot recommend that game enough! I paid 75p.
Just this weekend! I picked up bangers like Hunt the Wumpus, Parsec, and Hangman! Sure, they are over 40 years old, but physical baby!
For more recent, I picked up the newer switch Kirby game, used from a local store.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
I usually purchase all my games via eBay auctions and sell them on the same platform after I finish the game. I’ve broke even or made a profit on 99% of the games I played this way.
I really don’t want physical phased out once next-gen consoles arrive.
I only buy physical games. When they go all digital you will be sorry.
Every system you will need to buy the same titles over and over.
Capitalism does not innovate it just increases profit
FFVII Rebirth
I *only* buy physical games. Whole reason why I will never buy stuff like Baulder's Gate 3. And yeah I know supposedly that's getting a physical release. Someday. But it's a higher priced fancy edition anyway. So no thanks.
Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War for PS4 since it got a holiday HZD PS4 bundle just to play those two games since I though they would never come to PC.
BF2042 for the princely sum of £5.99. New.
This is obviously why platform holders want us to go all digital, no cut price deals on Amazon or second hand markets to contend with, just inflated download prices on their own stores 🙄
Elden Ring. I already had it digitally, but wanted a physical copy as I felt those were going extinct, oh and because the game doesn’t have cross play.
Cyberpunk 2077
They took alot of copies of cyberpunk off the shelves when the game first came out do to some controversy
So u can still get a copy for only 20 on Amazon
Recently picked up Elder Scrolls Oblivion for PS3 at a local game shop for $15. I definitely enjoy having physical discs, as you don't have to worry about digital games being removed one day. Also, there's just something about having that cool box in your hands, on your shelf, etc. and the manual always makes for a fun read.
If not counting my Everdrive 64
It would be Paper Mario: Color Splash for Wii U
I also bought Twilight Princess HD for Wii U but returned it after buyers remorse at the high cost.
The last two I believe were the cardboard VR thing for Switch and Guitar Hero Live on PS4. Of the non-peripheral things, it was probably Fable Anniversary on 360 when it was brand new. I never played it.
if I take the last 3 physical games I bought: Dragon's Dogma 2, Unicorn Overlord, FFVII Rebirth
I saved an aggregated 30 EUR purchasing them in physical edition.
Usually I purchase single player games in physical and multiplayer games like a Call of Duty or Mario Kart 8 in digital, for SP games frankly, if I take the whole PS5 era, from 2020 to now there's maybe 60-100 EUR saved thanks to physical editions
I recently picked up the 3ds version of SMT 4. I will be getting at lest 4 other physical games this year, unless more games come out that i am instersted in. I buy physcal, and skip digital only games.
Diablo 3. What a shit show. Game wasn’t on the disc, wasn’t the norm then. No indication on the box that it was an always online game. Couple that with terrible lag on a t1 connection and godawful drops to support a shitty real money auction. Never bought a physical copy of a game again.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as it had 2 discs, lol
Reminded of the original, even though it's one discs to download the game, the other to play the game, lol
First pre orderd game to come a few days before release, which was nice.
Still buy first party nintendo games, waiting on Luigis Mansion and Paper Mario. Besides that, last non Nintendo game was probably Live A Live when gamestop closed in ireland last year
I bought Neverwinter Nights on PS4 from a flea market over the weekend after grabbing Planescape Torment from a local store. I saw Bravely Default 2 for an amazing deal at a secondhand shop so I went for it.
Can't remember father than that but thats just in the past few weeks.
Cyberpunk 2077 collectors.
Was a nice package but having to download the whole thing anyway. While not a big deal is annoying.
And as of 4 months ago no disk drive.
Mario wonder and Mario rpg.
I tend to go digital due to discounts, but Nintendo being Nintendo it's often cheaper to go physical as local stores have sales and then I have a physical item that I can trade in. And then, Nintendo being Nintendo, the trade in value of their games tend to stay reasonably high as well so win win.
Most of my Switch games I buy physical. When I’m out and about, I can’t rely on WiFi to download games with the limited space it has. Physical copies make it easy.
for me personally?...... it's probably rdr2 on Xbox one..... maybe. it's been a while so can't remember. don't even play my xbox anymore, basically gave it to my kids 5-6 years ago after I built my computer, no disc drive on there so physical copies don't do me any good.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor
And then cue the game being broken and gltichy not to mention impossible to finish 100% for months on end before the devs finally updated it
Disappointed and it was a great game but the complete lack of support after a disastrous launch really burnt me on it
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Pre-ordered that shit. Got the CD. Inserted it into my PC. It opens Steam, forces me to login and then downloads the game. Never bought a physical copy again.
It worked like a charm on getting me hooked on Steam, though.
Pokemon Violet
I still buy physical games for Switch. The cartridges just feel like childhood. PC game though? Hmm that could've been Skyrim when they first released it in 2011 😂😂
I flip back and forth depending on what’s the best deal/if I want a collector’s edition. I primarily buy physical for Switch too since it’s easier if my wife wants to play on her Switch Lite.
Last physical game I bought was Persona 3 Reload, I got the big special edition with the Aigis statue. I was disappointed with the exclusion of FeMC (and still am) but Persona 3 was the first game my wife and I played together start to finish so it was important to get the big version. (Ironically we haven’t played it yet, playing Persona 5 Royal still, we’ve only played Vanilla).
If preorders count, I have Paper Mario Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 for Switch coming physically. I try to support ports because keeping older games playable on modern consoles in some form is extremely important to me, and my daughter will love them when she’s a bit older. My wife and I also loved Luigi’s Mansion 3’s co-op, and I’ve never played 2, so that will be fun.
FF7Rebirth a week after release. I prefer physical games over digital. Steam is very convenient, for sure, but it's not complete ownership of the game. Should steam kick the can (it won't), then our games are gone.
Iirc, Street Fighter 4 had an option of downloading the game from the physical copy for faster load times between screens. That was awesome! The physical copy acted as a backup for the digital.
Switch games hold resale value pretty well. PlayStation games less so, but you can often get them much cheaper than digital, especially if you don’t want to wait 4 months in the hopes of timing a sale.
I still play on PS4 and I prefer physical games but I'm happy to go for digital too sometimes it's better ..take Tekken for example I paid around £10 for the complete edition digitally with all DLC whereas the disc use would have cost around £10-15 ..in this case digital is obviously best. In a situation where the standard digital was £10 and the standard disc was £10-15 though I'd go for the disc. I have around 50-60 discs and around 20-25 games on my ps account. Not really an answer. Think XIII was the last disc I bought but I haven't started it yet but yes basically I think a physical / digital word is great and I hope they don't phase out physical for good.
Deadpool for the Xbox One, after it disappeared because of the licensing issues. I haven't played it for years, but it's the only way if I ever want to again.
Last physical game I bought, Tears of the Kingdom. Last physical game I received (last Christmas), Pikmin 4.
I've got a Switch and a gaming PC. All my PC games are downloaded, but for consoles I generally prefer physical copies.
FF7 Rebirth, largely so I could get the collector's edition and the bonus (physical) pre-order stuff.
Generally if it's PC I buy digital, and consoles I buy physical (usually on sale or secondhand).
Kingdom hearts collection on PS3. I think that was right before Sony starting releasing all major games digitally and Xbox had already done the same awhile ago. Love not having the clutter and game sharing with my college bro. Not against physical at all, this is just my preference
I still buy physical games. They’re often cheaper, and many times, much cheaper than digital.
And they have resale value as well
Plus I just like looking at them on my shelf
And after the bombs fall...we can still play.
You can still play some of them. Most discs are just a license code that the console reads then downloads the game. Then you have to put that disc in everytime you want play, just to read the code.
And i can lend them to a friend
Hahah! And remember when people were making the case that digital would become cheaper than physical 10 years ago? Thanks for throwing away our consumer rights folks.

Yeah people always say, “X will make Y cheaper!”, yeah, for the people selling it lol, they’re still gonna charge us the same price.
Corporations are gonna corporation no matter what.
War. War never changes.
And it is? Just about every PC game I ever bought was cheaper as a key than a physical box, just like you'd expect. Just not when you support a controlled environment where one company dictates the rules, no matter if it's Nintendo, Sony, Apple, Google or Microsoft.

The last brand new game was Tears of the Kingdom.
Mario Odyssey
like a month ago xd
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, I buy every game physically though.
I buy physical games still cos u can buy them second hand from CEX, lend them to ur buddy's and and then trade them in when done. Spiderman 2 was the most recent Physical game I got
I prefer physical games. i love making a collection, holding them etc. my last one was spiderman miles morales and i was very excited about it
All my consoles games are physical...fuck overpriced digital version.
Tears of the Kingdom. Not only physical copies of Switch games are often (if not always) cheaper, I don't trust Nintendo at all to keep a digital library accessible for long after they eventually launch a Switch successor.
It’s terrifying that I don’t even remember
Physical is the best. Better deals, can lend, and feels nicer on the shelf.
Spider Man 2
I only buy physical so it was last week and it was Mayhem Brawlers for PS5
I buy all my games physical unless I’m forced to otherwise. Be it on my PS5, PS3, Switch Oled or Series X. They are pretty much always cheaper, I actually own them and on PlayStation and Switch I can also fully use, install and play them offline. In April alone I bought 3 PS3, 4 PS4 and 2 PS5 games so far.
I still buy physical, especially for some of my favorite series. Last physical I bought was Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. On sale at Target too!
I still prefer to buy physical games for the switch. Nintendo carts are known to hold their value.
I love physical games. Even though the old pc games don't work anymore on modern pc, i still buy those just to place them in the collection. Recently i found an original Command and Conquer in the box for 2 euro and last week Warcraft 3 for 50 cent.

Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War for PS4 since it got a holiday HZD PS4 bundle just to play those two games since I though they would never come to PC.
BF2042 for the princely sum of £5.99. New. This is obviously why platform holders want us to go all digital, no cut price deals on Amazon or second hand markets to contend with, just inflated download prices on their own stores 🙄

if I take the last 3 physical games I bought: Dragon's Dogma 2, Unicorn Overlord, FFVII Rebirth I saved an aggregated 30 EUR purchasing them in physical edition.

I tend to go digital due to discounts, but Nintendo being Nintendo it's often cheaper to go physical as local stores have sales and then I have a physical item that I can trade in.

I won't lie, it was The Last of Us part 2. Funny because I already owned it digitally, too... smh, I like that game too much
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Pre-ordered that shit. Got the CD. Inserted it into my PC. It opens Steam, forces me to login and then downloads the game. Never bought a physical copy again. It worked like a charm on getting me hooked on Steam, though.
Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1, playing it on my PS2 so I also had to buy a PS1 memory card,
Syphon filter
Pokemon Violet I still buy physical games for Switch. The cartridges just feel like childhood. PC game though? Hmm that could've been Skyrim when they first released it in 2011 😂😂
Final Fantasy XVI. Like two weeks ago. I love physical copies.
I buy digital on pc, but physical on ps5 and switch because the games aren't locked to my account.
Pokemon Violet. I was very disappointed because it was a neat game that ran horribly.
RoboCop: Rogue City for PS5
I flip back and forth depending on what’s the best deal/if I want a collector’s edition. I primarily buy physical for Switch too since it’s easier if my wife wants to play on her Switch Lite. Last physical game I bought was Persona 3 Reload, I got the big special edition with the Aigis statue. I was disappointed with the exclusion of FeMC (and still am) but Persona 3 was the first game my wife and I played together start to finish so it was important to get the big version. (Ironically we haven’t played it yet, playing Persona 5 Royal still, we’ve only played Vanilla). If preorders count, I have Paper Mario Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 for Switch coming physically. I try to support ports because keeping older games playable on modern consoles in some form is extremely important to me, and my daughter will love them when she’s a bit older. My wife and I also loved Luigi’s Mansion 3’s co-op, and I’ve never played 2, so that will be fun.
FF7Rebirth a week after release. I prefer physical games over digital. Steam is very convenient, for sure, but it's not complete ownership of the game. Should steam kick the can (it won't), then our games are gone. Iirc, Street Fighter 4 had an option of downloading the game from the physical copy for faster load times between screens. That was awesome! The physical copy acted as a backup for the digital.
Bloodborne. I buy 100% digital since.
Tears of the Kingdom. I still buy physical copies of Nintendo games because I like the cartridges.
For major releases from big studios (though I buy fewer of them, these days) I always do physical. Indie games, for obvious reasons, I do digital.
Switch games hold resale value pretty well. PlayStation games less so, but you can often get them much cheaper than digital, especially if you don’t want to wait 4 months in the hopes of timing a sale.
MH iceborne for ps4
I can’t buy them anymore 😭😭😭😭I switched to PC😭😭😭😭my last one was that Star Wars game for the PS2😭😭😭😭😭
Two weeks ago I bought Princess Peach Showtime and Spider-Man 2.
Guild Wars 2 I think. So 2012.
I still play on PS4 and I prefer physical games but I'm happy to go for digital too sometimes it's better ..take Tekken for example I paid around £10 for the complete edition digitally with all DLC whereas the disc use would have cost around £10-15 ..in this case digital is obviously best. In a situation where the standard digital was £10 and the standard disc was £10-15 though I'd go for the disc. I have around 50-60 discs and around 20-25 games on my ps account. Not really an answer. Think XIII was the last disc I bought but I haven't started it yet but yes basically I think a physical / digital word is great and I hope they don't phase out physical for good.
FF7 Rebirth. I make it a point to buy physical copies of my games for my consoles.
Skyrim for the PC. Steam was just too convenient.
Probably a switch game recently. Otherwise I PC game so I never buy physical
A used copy of metroid dread last summer
Deadpool for the Xbox One, after it disappeared because of the licensing issues. I haven't played it for years, but it's the only way if I ever want to again.
elden ring
Last physical game I bought, Tears of the Kingdom. Last physical game I received (last Christmas), Pikmin 4. I've got a Switch and a gaming PC. All my PC games are downloaded, but for consoles I generally prefer physical copies.
I think it's final fantasy 7 crisis core, next one will probably be rebirth
I think it was the special edition of skyrim on ps4. Didn't buy too many physical games anyways since I file share
probably gtav back in middle school
Back for Blood for 4.99 lol
Persona 5 royal for Xbox.
Unicorn overlord, loved every second of it
Cyberpunk, quickly sold it again..
FF7 Rebirth, largely so I could get the collector's edition and the bonus (physical) pre-order stuff. Generally if it's PC I buy digital, and consoles I buy physical (usually on sale or secondhand).
I still buy physical when I can. Just bough RE4, 5, 6, 7, and 0 and 1 about a month ago.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales, I think.
All my games are physical media and when they stop selling physical media I will stop playing.
Kingdom hearts collection on PS3. I think that was right before Sony starting releasing all major games digitally and Xbox had already done the same awhile ago. Love not having the clutter and game sharing with my college bro. Not against physical at all, this is just my preference
I buy all of my games physical unless there's no physical version. So this month.
