[QUOTE="DeadSkullzJr, post: 8255762, member: 433460"] The idea of going digital 24/7 seems a bit of a hassle. Here’s why, one no console like the switch nor any console for that matter has unlimited space, that’s simply not possible. Consoles today (at least for Nintendo’s case) use MicroSD cards to store all the data of the console and the games downloaded. Imagine downloading one of those AAA titles that are like 3GB+ or more. That’s just one game alone, imagine a library of games, boom your SD card space is gone, you are left to buy yet another SD card to keep building the collection. Now most would say there is nothing wrong with that, however they completely forget the fact that not everyone is made of money, they can’t afford to keep buying $60+ microSD cards with absurd amounts of space constantly. I’ve always loved the idea of having physical copies, you get to leave room for smaller games that you can’t actually buy physical copies of. It’s like what I do for the 3DS. I currently use a 32GB SanDisk Ultra, I have no digital downloads on the console other than virtual console, emulators, etc. I have physical copies of the 3DS games to save those extra gigabytes on my SD card for smaller content. Doing it this way prevents you from having to switch SD cards constantly. People say they don’t like carrying around cartridges all the time, all I can say about that is where there is pros there is always cons. It is what it is, either buy a nice case to hold your games or buy a flashcart to hold your backups. You can’t have your cake and eat it to you know lol. Another thing to bare in mind, using digital downloads for everything kinda defeats the purpose of going out and getting at least some fresh air, buying a game at your local game store in the end.
