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...

Thoughts of Persona 4 Arena

P4U Arrange Soundtrack EU Cover Even when i am one of the sooo many europeans that had to wait for this game to release 9 month later than the US i am still happy that it did came here. Now i could be mad and not buy the game as a response to the late release but that won't do me any good and won't do the creators and publisher any good as well. My way to show to them that they should release their games faster is to show how much i want there games. But enough about that. What are my thoughts of the game? Well there are really positive although there are still a few things i think that should have been done different. The Training mode is probably one of the best things in this game. Since it is a great way for new players to this genre or more familiar to understand the basic's of this fighter. Also this is great way to get the feel of the controls. But one thing about the controls could be startling to players is that the controls are described as like ...

LBP Karting Beta experience

The  Little Big Planet Karting Beta has ended. But the time i had the chance to play it was wonderful, even wen i had not much time for it. The game surprised me how well it worked and that it still felt so much like a Little Big Planet game. It has many customization options and also a nice set of vehicles that felt different but where no different from any other type in speed or grip. The level editor looked like the one from Modnation racers but more free to edit and move around through. Well i wont talk more about it sins i am just like you waiting for the release of  Little Big Planet Karting for my PS3. But sins i love to use wallpapers of a game that still needs to be released i made 3 wallpaper of the only 2 screenshot i made. enjoy them for your personal use and plz fav them on DeviantArt that would be really appreciated LBP Karting Beta Wallpaper  for PS3 and PC (1920x...
