For a single player game like TLOU I think I'm gonna do disc but maybe for a game with high replay I'm thinking digital. ONLY BC I won't sell it and I can remote play it when PS TV comes out.

Was going to go digital, but with Playstation Plus i feel I need the space for the games it gives.
I want disc for PS3 and still filled the 250 GB hard-drive through PS+.

This week at Bungie, we launched the second stage of the Destiny Beta. Anyone who wants to play is welcome. There’s no code required. Your invitation can be found on your platform of choice. Fire up your console, and get busy downloading.
Aside from the obvious lure of fun and games, the Beta serves a crucial purpose for us. While you’re having fun (we hope), our team is busy monitoring your every move.
The Beta status report can be seen from just about every vantage point in the studio. It’s projected on our walls, and burns brightly on monitors all over the place. We see you when you’re sleeping. We know when you’re awake. Literally. From a distance, your shared play patterns look like a light blue mountain range. The slope of the peaks and the valleys show the rise and fall of the community as it comes and goes from the world of Destiny.
When we get up close, the Beta report feeds us intoxicating numbers that measure the highs and the lows of what the smartest people in the room call “concurrency.” We watch all day long as some of you – wherever you are – go to bed or come home from work. Over the past week, these trends have become predictable. Whenever possible, we aim to keep the line on the upslope.
There isn’t a single person on our team who isn’t aware of our status with the Destiny Beta. After years of building this big, beautiful world and filling it with hideous beasts, it’s a total rush when one more of you joins the hunt. Every time you choose a character and arrive in orbit, it’s like a sweet loot drop for us. While you play your game, our game is to field enough Guardians to burn back the darkness.
We create the bad guys. We need you to create the good guys. With this Beta, we’re raising our army. Like the merchants in the Tower, we’re equipping you to fight. When you complete your missions, we devour your reports on your successes and your failures. We’re doing everything we can to bring as many of you into the game as possible.
Our journey is not over. We still have a few traps to spring on you, so that we may ensnare you in our rush to reach higher and higher summits. Keep climbing.
All hands on deck.
Our hope is that every moment of the Destiny Beta has been meaningful to you. For us, tomorrow is the most important moment for this test. Every single Guardian that can play is invited to a Public Event. Our shared mission will be to see how many of us can play at the same time. Only through our combined strength can we achieve victory.
Saturday, July 26th at 2:00 PM PDT.
You will need to be very brave (and perhaps a bit patient) to help us reach our goal. To help you stay focused on our objectives, we’ve given you one of your own. Everyone who makes an appearance will earn a nameplate to help you prove that you were there when the record for concurrent players was set before the launch of the game. It will help you to be a rare and unique snowflake when Destiny launches in September.
This is a flash mob. Set your destination. The Iron Banner will be live. The Director will still beckon with the lures we’ve littered all across Old Russia.
We’re even sending you on a new story mission. For this one, you’ll be glad you scrounged that jump drive from the wastes of the Cosmodrome. You don’t need us to tell you where you’re headed. We’ve marked it on the map since the moment when the Beta Build became a secret whispered about by only our friends and family. This new destination will be open to you for two hours.
The Destiny Beta is not a private party. It’s the precursor to the launch of the most ambitious game we’ve ever made. You are invited to do your very best to emulate the final form of the citizenry that will fight to protect the last safe city on Earth, later on this year.
Eyes up, Guardians.
Let’s be completely honest about this. We didn’t need a Mail Sack this week to figure out what you want to know. Your deepest curiosities are hurling at us from every direction, and we love it. Since so many of you are asking the same questions, here’s a theoretical representation of the chat we could have had. Let’s approximate the Sack.
Fatalist Prophet When does the Beta end?
The Destiny Beta ends when we say it ends. For days now, press releases have circulated that foretold of the end on July 27th. The Wolf, our Theoretical Physicist, has told me that he wants some room to maneuver close to the conclusion of our little social experiment. So, I’m not telling you exactly when. Please play until we nail this thing shut.
Ground Pounder What the hell are you going to do about that Interceptor?
It’s a beast. Ain’t it? The architects of the arena have some ideas. In the final game, it won’t be the menace that’s been chasing you into bases. Don’t take it from me. Listen to Bungie Designer Derek Carroll:
This is just the beginning of the conversation that will enable us to support Destiny over the long term. We look forward to further debate on all points. Keep it coming. Keep playing.
We hope to see you tomorrow.

You won’t see these changes in the Beta. A kinder, gentler Interceptor is just one more reason to look forward to the final version of Destiny, set to launch on September 9th. On that day, we look forward to complaints from the other side of the aisle, where the ace pilots have been polishing their medals.
This is just the beginning of the conversation that will enable us to support Destiny over the long term. We look forward to further debate on all points. Keep it coming. Keep playing.

I usually go disc unless I have PSN credit or there's a huge sale. Lately digital just seems more convenient for me. If they could just find a way to price match disc based sales and prices then I'd lean more towards digital. I preordered TLOU since I had enough credit. That's a game I would play years from now. I'd probably buy CoD and 2k digital. By the time I stop playing those, it'll be new iterations of those series coming out and if probably get 50 cent for trading them in

I'm old school. I need a disc. I don't like waiting for games to download.

While I'd rather have less physical-media... for games, I think disc for me. With digital-downloads, I feel like I'm just renting the game from them.

They need to fix the control sensitivity in Destiny. It's either to fast or sluggish.

but u can adjust it yourself

I've noticed this.

I know but none of the sensitivity settings feel correct. It feels like you move your gun in quadrants on lower sensitivities or the gun is all over the place on higher sensitivities. The same thing bothered me about Halo.

is anybody on right now? im tryna run crucible or explore. maybe devils lair.

8 is the sweet spot for me, however you'll eventually adjust to whatever sensitivity you pick after a while. You may also not be used to playing an FPS at 30 FPS, which Halo/Destiny are.

I like the fact that you can pre-download now. Now they need to fix it so that I don't have to wait until midnight PST, that's 2AM in Texas. I will still buy majority physical but some titles I can see myself leaning towards digital
