Xbox One vs. PS4

Haha, for me, digital version is cheaper, because I have 4 Xboxes. I only have to buy once and then have 4 copies, I can even play co-op via the intranet. However, that's what I can't do with a single disc.

I am sure both MS and Sony know this multiple copy issue. And they actually intentionally allow user to do that for promoting the digital path. And of course, they know that they are selling "half game" to us as you said, so they offer us something back. However, not all digital users can enjoy this benefit.

Anyway, even though I am a lazy guy, I am not that extreme lazy. However, my wife love to sleep on my lap when I playing games. Wake her up just for changing disc is something I would like to avoid. I do that for love, haha. And seriously, brings the disc up and down stairs is not fun at all. Besides, my wife play games as well. And I never know where she last play a particular disc. If I want to find a disc, I may need to boot up to 3 Xboxes one by one (the disc may be in one of the tray). Digital copy works better for me in this aspect. I was a total disc guy, even though I own 4 Xboxes. However, in one occasion, one of the game I want to play had very good offer on the Xbox live store, $15 cheaper than the cheapest (new) disc I can get. So, I give it a try, and then I realise that works so much better for me. And now, I am a digital guy.

Hopefully both market will growth in parallel. I don't want to force anyone go for the digital route, and I also want to keep the advantage that I can enjoy by playing the digital version.

P.S. Love this forum, the members here really have good quality. Everyone have temper, including myself. But we know how to go back to the correct track for productive discussion, and learn something.

Yes absoloutly. These are extremely valid points that I had not considered. I certainly see the advantage when using multiple consoles and waking the wife is most definately reserved for frisky time and house fires only. As you said earlier only time will tell with all of this, I really hope the market utilizes the power it still has so that we get the balance right for everyone rich and poor. I cant abide exclusion of the minority for no good reason and that is perhaps where my temper has shown. My sincere apologies for directing any of it at you, that was unjustified and wrong. I agree, good quality discussion and productive discussion are the only real way forward. Think I may have rocked the boat a little there and so I must thank you for your patience and advice. Good quality members indeed.

You advocate for discs and the big corporate evil companies and me like digital.
Nobody cares what you or I think and that's all there is to it. No need to give people life lessons.
Get over it and move on.

No no no
Never a life lesson, from me of all people Id deserve to be shot. You used those words, big, corporate and evil, how interesting that you did. I repesent a small part of the market and Im expressing a view point. If no one cares what we think or say then what power do any of us have to effect change? Why even participate yourself? Really I must ask you, if you feel that no one gives a hoot why are you engaging me in this discussion if not just discourage me? Its really sad as a consumer to be told that one mans opinion matters not, and whilst I cant disagree as such with what youve said I will say that its a lot harder to ignore a chorus of opinion. Why would this forum exist otherwise? Do you want me to think you just had nothing better to do with your time? Strange because didnt you mention you had an Xbone? Mr. Elite?

Aha. An excellent step forward for the Xbone I reckon and a rather pleasant surprise I certainly didnt see it coming. It doesnt make it the console it should be but what fantastic news for Xbone owners. Mind you I do believe Microsoft seem slightly more eager to please. I dont know why that is and it could just be the sales figures but thats pure speculation and whatever the reason its really cool that they have done that. Dare I hope after all? No because Sony, on the other hand, claim its far too complicated to do it with the Playstation so thats that for now. Computer says no, apparently. How awful. Haha you make a generous offer kind sir, but I do fear its too late for me. The PC beckons, the dreadful bell tolls for my console.
