Ever made. That’s all the kids want to do is sit around and play that dang thing. They fight over it too. I finally took the controllers away and locked them up in our safe so the kids couldn’t play it.

Xbox one S is sufficient. Disk or digital doesn't matter.

Good call. Create even more scarcity. That usually quells demand.

PS4 is the best version to get. As far as Digital vs Disk, there are some

Thumbs down? Wow! Didn't realize a pros and cons list for disk vs Digital was

Probably because you went ps4 fan-boy before just answering the actual question.

I love reselling discs for $1.50. Lol. Pure digital now.

Yeah, the resale value of used games is really low for most titles, but some

This is really only true if you're selling them to GameStop. There are other ways to sell games that will get you more.

Depending on the games they want, XBox Live may be a MUST.

Also, if you're thinking of playing as a family, we love Overcooked-Awesome game

Even if you don't play a ton of online, there are perks that make it worth it.

Agreed. The monthly free games are awesome if you're just starting

Don't they have something like PS Now as well, with a library of older games you

XBox game pass, I've never tried that one though. There is EA access too

Digital v. Disk....I'd just let price guide you. There's some great deals on

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I always just buy the cheaper of the two

paulb

11/7/19 6:47pm

Same. Also PS4 and Xbox games drop in price/go on sale quickly and often.

Digital only is the only way to live.

Do you have a 4k TV?

I almost exclusively buy physical copies of games, but that's largely in part because I like to collect them.
