Hey. Obviously a question directed more to console users as on pc there is no choice and my library is all on steam/gog etc. This is not digital vs physical thread!
I am raising this question since for PS4(and previous consoles), I've always just went to media markt, to pick up latest games on release date.
With covid and local stores closing down, there is now a question... where do I go if media stores in nearest neighborhood is closed(some permanently)?
In my experience couriers are not reliable ... I don't want to wait for them. They deliver during work hours and when I am not home, they reschedule to another day (had packages cancelled after first attempt) or leave the package with neighbor if I am lucky...
Parcel lockers are amazing but there is almost no way of getting a game to a locker on release date as far as I know and more often than not recently, these are full.
I really miss being able to just stop by a store and pick up a copy of a game that just released... The unavailability makes me anxious a bit but I don't want to go fully digital for consoles.
What is Your choice?
edit: I selected Retail since last game I've bought was Demons Souls in December when the store was still open. I've not bought a game since.
