Physical Video Game Copies vs. Digital Copies – Which is Better?
In previous years there was only one way to purchase video games. You went to your local store and bought the video game which was on a disc or cartridge.
Now video game systems along with the technology that supports them have advanced to the point where we have another option – Digital Copies. These digital copies are downloaded directly to your video game console and allow you to play the game just as you would with a physical copy of the game.
So what type of copy (physical or digital) should you buy when you purchase your next video game? Is one type better than the other?
Physical copies and digital copies both have their own advantages and drawbacks. So we decided to examine this topic by taking a look at the pros and cons of each option. As part of this examination, we are taking a look at this issue from the perspective of someone who wants to pre-order a video game that hasn’t been released yet.
If you are new to the world of gaming you might not be familiar with the concept of pre-ordering games. You can read more about what pre-ordering of video games is here.
So let’s begin.
Will Buying a Wii U Console Will Save You Money If You Already Own a Wii Console
Do you have a Wii and are now thinking of purchasing one of the new video game consoles like the Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation 4, but you are unsure which one you want to buy? Well, I have something new for you to think about. The controllers.
Most people focus on the cost of the systems they are looking at purchasing. We often get overwhelmed as we look at the different bundles that are being offered and are deciding how much memory we need the unit to have and if we want/need the motion sensor. So it is no surprise that we usually don’t think about the cost of controllers – thinking that cost will remain the same regardless of what console we decide to go with, but unfortunately, that is not the case – especially if you are looking at getting the Wii U.
Which Video Game Consoles are Backwards Compatible? Compare Wii U, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
There has been a lot of talk lately about backward compatibility with video game consoles. So what does it mean when a video game system is backward compatible and how does backward compatibility impact which of the big three video game consoles (Wii U, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4) you should buy?
What does it mean if a video game console is backward compatible?
If a video game console is backward compatible it can play video games that were developed for the previous version of that console.
What Are Video Game Pre-Orders?
New video games are constantly being introduced. Prior to the release of new games, they are promoted in an effort to create excitement and demand much in the same way new movies are promoted.
Similar to how you can purchase tickets ahead of time for a big movie opening you can purchase video games before they are released as well. Purchasing a video game before it is released is called pre-ordering.
If you are excited about an upcoming new video game pre-ordering is a great way to ensure that you will be able to play that game as soon as it is released.
