Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.
Physical or Digital Copy?
- Thread starter Pudge
- Start date
Physical.
1. I'd have to order a larger card online, which is more money that I don't have.
2. I also want to hold the 3ds card in person and gaze upon its nude grey tab-by glory. -blush-
3. I also want the box for my collection.
4. If I ever get so pissed off with the game (<-This will never happen) there is resale value. Gamestop will be like: we can give you $3 (jk).
5. Lets face it I'm only going to carry this and Pokemon X/Y around so it isn't that inconvenient to carry and swap out the cartridges I have a case that can very securely carry 3 extra games + my 3ds.
6. There is no point in getting it at midnight, since I will need to sleep and I have stuff like church in the morning, so I can't play it then... may as well wait till 11:00 a.m. for Best Buy to open (like a hobo) and pick up my pre-order.

im getting the bundle if my 3DS didnt break i would have gotten physical but digital has its good and bad points too
Hey Listen!
Nathan :D
I might need to get the physical considering I have like 3 Gamestop gift cards. I'm kinda trying to get some PC parts so I don't want to start spending cash all willienillie and whatnot.
I've already preordered the physical copy but I also really want the 3DS XL Bundle, which comes with the digital too. I already have a normal sized 3DS though, so I'm kinda stuck. Maybe I should sell my normal sized 3DS and just get both versions of the game on the 3DS XL haha.
Man, a lot of you guys are really hooked on that new cartridge smell, huh?
At least it wasn't the new cartridge taste...;;;
Idealistically, I'd love to own the game physically, but have it on my 3DS digitally.
In reality, I don't even have wireless internet at home so it'd be way too much of a hassle to go find somewhere with Wi-Fi to download it. I'll just pick up New Leaf from Walmart right after I get out of work.

Digital.
I enjoy having all of my 3DS games with me without having to lug around a case full of cartridges.
Also saves me from having to spend 40$ in gas to drive to a store.

Bf and I will be getting both copies! I'm getting the digital version that comes pre-installed on the system, and he's getting a physical copy himself.^^
I also like the idea of being able to keep a game cartridge in the DS but also being able to play ACNL on the fly! I think it's really convenient. I'm also going to get a bigger SD card and get into the habit of saving my SD card regularly to my PC. But I guess this way I'll still technically have the physical copy!

Choosing Digital for me. I didn't even really have to think about it. I always hated taking game cartridges with me or i sometimes didn't take any and ended up wanting to play a different game that i didn't have with me.
I have full confidence in my 3ds not breaking anytime soon, mostly because i had an original DS from when it came out till 3 weeks before the 3ds released and it still works now.
I never really cared for the cases the game came in and i still don't now.
The manual i would always end up reading once then throwing it out.
I just like the convenience of digital a lot more. Physical games don't really appeal to me much anymore.

Physical for sure. I'll probably lose my 3ds.
Definitely digital! I upgraded a while to either an 8gb or 16gb SD card. I can't actually remember right now, but it doesn't matter since the only other game on there is Fire Emblem. I already love having that game with me wherever I go, and I'm looking forward to that even more with AC. I'm always worried I'm going to lose cartridges when I'm out-and-about anyway. Now I don't have to worry about it. I'm also pretty confident that Nintendo is going to start an account system... eventually.
I'm definitely going digital. Aside from the perk of being able to download the game at 11 pm, Animal Crossing is one of those games that I totally see myself playing in the half-hour of downtime I've got between classes at school. I always keep my 3DS in my backpack, but I remember the disappointment of wanting to play a game but realizing I left the game card back home T.T I don't want that to happen with Animal Crossing ^_^ Besides, the past few games I've purchased have all been from the eShop.
