Downloading PC games or buy from retail?

Hey guys.
Just wondering if it's a good idea to download a pc game rather than buy a copy from retail store.
In this case I'm talking about diablo reaper of souls. Are there any down sides to downloading it?

  • Oh. My. God.
    And I don't know - Who cares? I'm so excited for this news right now.

    9:44PM EDIT I have composed myself. No. There's no down sides to downloading it - it's the route I'm going since I'm after the Digital Deluxe Edition for the small extras.

      Wooooo I wonder if that means local servers for PS4 version as well?

      • I have the XBOX360 version and the game is peer2peer so doesn't need them to open servers if PS4 is the same..

    • I found out about that last night, so happy!!!

    I don't know how long it's been since I bought a retail copy of a game.

    320 games later on Steam…

    Pretty much the only time it's worth buying retail is when there's a collectors edition, and you want the figure (which I never do)

    Otherwise, and for Diablo, it's definitely worth getting the digital version, to get all the extras.

  • Ok thanks guys

  • I'd say depends on how big the game is… if it's watch dogs or something like ESO, which after trying the beta… i don't think i'll get, which is like 25+Gb i think i'll buy retail… i only have 200Gb of data and i need to share that between my household who d/ls -shudder- k drama and other asian shows…

    The only way i'd get digital copies is if it's on steam since i use the steam limiter thing which makes it d/l from the specified servers (for me it would be telstra)
