Retail VS Digital games

As many game sites say and as i also notice from my friend and people i know.
People are scared of Digital games but wy sould the be?
So i decided to make a list of + and - from Digital compared to Retail games.
1. Price
This is a hard one sins can change but overall Retail will win this one for a few reasons.
First is the fact that if you take the time to search you will find a store that sells it cheaper.
But there are also some minuses as well.
A game that is brand new will be mostly the same price.
But the win will go to Retail for being the cheaper one although it should be reversed in my opinion sins Digital thouse not need a package and a disk.
Win: Retail
2. Easier to take with you
Well depends on the situation but overall Digital will win sins its super easy to log in and download and continue at a Friends console.
But if a internet connection is not present Retail is handy.
But then you have to carry stuff.
Win: Digital
3. Easier to loss or break
Well this is another win for Digital.
Wy?
Well no disc everything is stored on a cloud record under your account.
But as we all know still can loss your account if you don't secure it with a good password.
And connect it with plugins that have a bad security.
But this something that depends on the online story you use.
So always read the terms and information first.
Back to Retail, it may break, get scratches or the game maybe broken.
This can be all fixed if it was Digital.
Again this depends on the Digital store you use.
Some companies want to do everything to please the consumer by refunding them or giving you a new copy.
This may also be done for Retail but this depends on the help desk and the company behind it.
Win: Digital
4. The feeling of owning it
Well this short answer and a logical one.
We love to hold a box that shows others how awesome your collection is.
This can not be done with Digital so you own it but dont have the same feeling we have with Retail.
Thankfully we are moving slowly on the way that we buy a box with a code for the game on a Digital store.
I hope this will be done more in the future.
Win: Retail
5. Games that have no chance on the Retail Market but do on Digital store
Thanks to Digital stores game makers can make smaller games that are lower in price that would be able to sell well on the Retail side.
Only big game titles these days survive on the Retail market.
So Indie Games and low budget games go Digital and do really well on it.
This means you can get a pack of really good games for the price that would be worth of a well known game.
So this is a win for Digital sins you can get more games for your money.
Win: Digital
I am going to quite here say don't fear Digital and try it your self and then decide for your self.
Also need help with a Digital Store or Finding cheap Games at a Retail Store Google it there are many people out there that want to help YOU!
Also share your opinion here, i would love to hear it.

Playstation TV Review

Also known as PSVita TV Review The Playstation TV is the way to play your favorite PSVita and Playstation classic's on the tv. Or use it as an add-on device for the PS4 to continue playing in different room if you're banished from the other one. While this sound great, sadly the PSTV is not perfect. There are enough games that have yet to get PSTV support. And if you're new to the PSVita environment don't expect to play Gravity Rush or Tearaway on the PSTV. The PSTV only support games for the PSVita that don't use or barely use the touch options of the PSVita. There are allot of things that the PSTV could support but isn't getting for now. One of those options is to play WipEout 2048 on the PSTV. While I understand that WipEout 2048 has motion controls. They don't need be there to play WipEout 2048 on the PSTV. Games like Olli Olli don't even have proper menu controls and require the use of the R3 of the Dualshock 3 and 4 or the use of t...

Sony Pulse Elite Wireless Headset Review

I have been promising that I would review the Pulse Elite after a few blogs that I wanted to write first and now with the the release of a patch on the PS4 for all Sony Pulse headsets I had, no I must write a review on this headset. Now the first question I ask my self is, why buy the Pulse Elite instead of a another headset and the reason is preferences. I want a headset that delivers me the option to be portable so I can use it on the go for my Vita or mobile phone but I also wanted the option to use it for voice chat on my PS3. The Pulse Elite delivers these options because it has two way to connect. One is via the USB dongle, which is used for the PS3 and other devices that have a USB port. The other way is via the 3.5mm cable which works pretty much with every mobile device out there on the market. Now why not get a headset that connects via Bluetooth? The reason is pretty simple but is supported by other functions this headset gives. The main reason is that there is ...

Back yet again with an update

With the latest redesign of my blog I also plan to change a few things for You and me. First for the design I have changed back to a custom look with a new shiny banner to make it look even better and more me. Tell me you're thoughts and share to me why you like it or hate it. As far for the thing that matters the most, The Articles . I have chosen to be more committed to the blog. Not only random social message announcing a new blog articles that sometimes pops up. But also some planed articles that will be focused certain topics. First I will do a grammar check on old articles. Focused on words like; sins (should be since) and more. As for sentences I wont correct them. I find this to much work and if I would do it, I would rather re-write the complete article. The Second thing will be a monthly article call "What have I played". It will feature everything have played in that month (quite obvious from the title :P). I will discus my opinions an...
