Most of those games are available on disc. Why didn't you just get that?

Those were either free games, Gold free games or just cheaper than buying a used copy. Oh, and the Gears of War series, I traded away some Steam keys for keys from some pack that included them.

Honestly at least with 360 physical makes a difference.

Had to get a hard drive and attach to PS4 just to be able to play our PHYSICAL GAMES without always deleting and installing games.

Having a 1TB hard drive attached to PS4 isn't bad, so I'd imagine 360 wouldn't be too bad either?

ETA:
Couldn't play anywhere near that library on our PS4 even if we did have physical games without swapping or external hard drive. That feels like a lot of games to me lol.

I use disc install with 360 games. Very useful feature, wish PS3 allowed disc installs as well.

And systems like PS4 / XBO have a good reason, disc read speeds aren't nearly as fast compared to hard drive read speeds. People wanting the best performance possible means disc installs happen.

Also, my PS4 had about 60 games installed at one point, and it only has a 500GB drive. :P

Weird, we got one new and it can't hold crap. At all. IDK.

Weird, cause everyone always said it was some weird DRM. First I've heard of performance. That does make sense though I guess. More than DRM like how am I going to pirate a disk and play it on an unmodified system?

This is why it makes no sense to go all digital. You're either buying discs or external HDD's. Tell me which one is actually messier. But when it comes to free games you can't rule out digital completely.

Doesn't matter. You want discs or drives and wires? Not to mention discs being cheaper.

I'd rather deal with discs than have to delete games and redownload them. And eventually redownloading them isn't even gonna be a possibility. PSN and Xbox Live for the 7th gen aren't gonna last forever.

I would agree but MSs awful way of finding things you already bought on 360 sometimes can be more trouble than its worth.

Sorry for the delay, I was in bed. My 360 has a 250GB hard drive.

I have physical games. However, I'm buying them more than a decade after the system was released. I'm dealing with used copies, and a lot of people didn't look after them. I have a stack of games with the circular scratches that people had no problem selling online. None of them can finish a disc install. I also have to deal with limited space to store the physical games. The shelf I'm using can fit in maybe 5 - 6 more cases.

As for prices, I got digital games when they are cheap or free. Shipping alone means I wouldn't get games for $2 - $3 like I got most of my digital purchases. My most expensive digital purchase for 360 was NZ$9 for The Witcher 2, and I can't get a physical copy for that one for anywhere near that low.

I just dislike using external drives, would much prefer just sticking a larger hard drive into the system itself, but 360 doesn't allow that. :(

You could delete some.

Downloading the games later can be annoying, and Microsoft doesn't make it easy. Some older games that were free a few years ago didn't show up in my system download list. And the download list on this system isn't great in the first place. Wish it could work similar to the PS4 download list. Still beats my PS3, if only because I have so many fucking items to scroll through there. But they at least have dates on everything in the list, so I can just check emails for the date needed.

I use disc installs. Things go faster and it is less stress for the system. I had two older models before this one and reducing issues in any way possible was worth it.

When you say attached do you mean like one just hooked up via usb or something? Cause if its that simple im going to have to do that. Ever since i uninstalled doom then later reinstalled it and a lot of my progress got screwed up im always weary of deleting a game. It was weird all levels and bobbleheads where unlocked but none of my weapons and upgrades.

Yeah, you can use external drives with PS4, XBO, 360 and Wii U. Switch is limited to SD cards, PS3 didn't support externals, but you can use an internal drive up to 1TB.

Good. Glad to know that considering i have two 100 gig games then a few others pushing it. A bunch of 50s etc.

https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-use-a-USB-external-hard-drive-for-PS3

I haven't personally tried this yet but it looks promising for a PS3 external HDD.

I have been using an external HDD on my 360 and it works great, I move all the digital only stuff to the external and keep the internal for the discs. My 360 only has a 120GB HDD, the RE5 Special, so an external was the cheapest and easiest solution, a 1TB Toshiba.

I put a Western Digital 4TB HDD on both my PS4 Pro and X-Box One X, and the X-Box is nearly full for a total of 6 TB of games lol. PS4 is 3/4 full too.

I guess my point is an external HDD is very helpful in both our situations @DeltaBladeX

They wouldn't be if you took the 5 seconds to put it in a case then on the shelf. What, you just chuck 'em on the floor like a pud? A stack of cases looks nicer than a stack of HDD's.

Personally I like having games digital that i may just randomly get into the mood to play at any time and then might bore of it quick as well. Something thats more a play one time and shelf for a extended time I prefer physical. So basically but not always story heavy games physical shorter games or something with no real end like a fighter I prefer digital.
