Now that we've seen the pros and cons of owning discs, let's take a look at digital downloads, and I'm kicking things off with the pros. The first pro is that the product will never run out of stock (unless the company pulls the plug on said product). A clearer way of putting this is whenever you want to purchase a downloadable product (like a game or movie), you won't have to worry about the item being out of stock, but, like previously mentioned, the only way for a digital product to be out of stock is when the company pulls the plug (Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics, I'm looking at you). Another pro of going digital is that you'll save a little bit of money since digital downloads are tax free (for the most part). What's also nice about this is that the day it's released, you'll get access right away (there's a negative attached to this, but I'll get into that later). A third pro about digital download is you'll get a package deal (games in particular are known for this, especially if they're in the same series). Unreal is an excellent example of this because there are five games attached to this deal. But when bundled, you'll only end up paying $39.99 (Source: Steam Store) versus $69.95 for all five games. See the difference? This concludes part 3 of Disc vs Digital. Be sure to check out part 4 when I go over the cons of digital.
