    Are you going to download a virtual copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon or are you going to get a physical copy? What are some of the benefits you think there are to having either for these games? I'm going to be getting a physical copy of Ultra Sun because I don't have enough extra space on the SD card my 3ds has now and I don't want to get another one.

    I'm getting Ultra Sun on the digital version, since I don't want to lose an actual cartridge all the time :sweat:. I already have an SD card ready for it, I just have to wait for the game to come out lol

    Physical copies of both games, I prefer those over digital still in case something happens to my N3DS then I can still play the games without having to transfer and re-download.

    Hating on my dad’s company lol

    Thanks to him, I can order stuff on Amazon Prime, get it on release date and at a 20% discount.

    Not that the release date matters tho, I’ll be working the night shift that Friday :(

    Sorry, but they kept giving me the bloody runaround when I tried to order a laptop and for no reason they kept flagging my debit card, so I have a very bad taste in my mouth as a result...

    I'll be going with a physical copy. I've always liked having physical copies of my games and this will be no exception.

    I always buy physical copies; EShop Cards are really hard to find in my country.

    Gonna buy an actual game cartridge. I always feel better when I have a physical copy of something. :)

    I always go physical for non-PC games, it's just the way I am. I'm going to head over to probably-gamestop that evening or weekend and get my first Pokémon game remotely near the release date since... SoulSilver? Every game since then I've gotten to much later. I mean it's going to be ages before this game hits a sale price (other than perhaps winter holiday shopping season), and I'm not going to wait four years to save six dollars on this game.

    Anyway, phyiscal copy for me, definitely.

    Physical for me, as I've always done physical copies for everything. Buying EShop cards can be a pain sometimes as well, so that just seals it in for me.

    Now to not lose the cartridge.

    That's perfectly fine. Even my dad, has been screwed over a couple times when he ordered stuff from inconsistent deliveries.

    I'm going to get a physical copy of Ultra Moon due to the lack of space in my old 3DS.

    I'd rather buy a game cart. Last time I downloaded a game digitally (Animal Crossing) it took up 4,000 blocks in my 3ds. Yeah...that's a big chunk, isn't it? What a waste of space...

    Physical. I've never had a virtual copy of a game before, and it sounds so much easier to just buy a physical copy.

    I buy digital when it comes to games I know I will come back to over the life time of the console (acnl etc).
    The newer Pokémon games I tend to play to completion, then maybe a week or two after the main story and then not touch them again so I prefer to get physical versions so I can trade them back in!

    I'm going with digital since I have the money on my Nintendo account for it. It's difficult for me to get out to gamestop nowadays anyway.
