Physical or Digital Copy?

[Bambi]

Oh you're right, but what do you mean "(for you)"

I'm guessing Sam means for your region.

Pretty much Knowing that it's the same release date gives way more points to physical cause I kind of agree with conman, The physical lets you know own it. Plus I just figured I can't just buy it and that be discounted of my card but that i have to actually add funds and i dnt plan on doing anythign else with the spare money so it wouldn't be nice to waste that much.

Yes, I was referring to that region having a June 9th release date.

As for me, I'm getting both.

 

[DeviousKit]

I'm looking forward to picking up my copy of the game this June 9th!

 

[Marmidotte]

Well, I did plan to buy the physical copy, except I received the digital copy to test it, so...

 

[Cottonball]

I like collecting the cases and having them on display~

Physical, I've had this preordered since June 2011

 

[JimmyJacobAC]

I can't wait to start downloading the minute the game is released.

 

[Slickyrider]

Physical. I like having the case and manual.

I might pick up a digital copy eventually, though.

I've got the physical copy pre-ordered. I've never been a fan of digital downloads. I rarely ever take my 3DS anywhere and if I do it's because I don't want to stop playing one specific game and if I were go on a trip with my 3DS I could easily just pack my essential games, so..

I don't ever feel right with a digital copy of a game, like, what if I wanted to play on another device or something were to happen where I couldn't get it back? Plus, having the physical copy in your hands and held highly on your shelf just feels so great!

Physical such a special occassion, game, and piece of Nintendo history deserves a nice box in my collection This game is the reason I bought the 3ds at launch!

I was seriously considering the digital version - but I just found out that if, say, I download a game onto my SD card, and the SD card craps out on me, I can't re-download the game.

Physical version for me!

 

[runekey]

Wow TEN PERCENT of you are buying two copies of the game?? You guys are nuts!

That is untrue. You can redownload any game you buy on your 3DS digitally as many times as you want on as many different SD cards as you want, but they will only be playable on that system.

Physical always, I like to be able to see my game case and know I own the game, I can't seem to do that with the digital ones from the eshop. It's a big deal to me for whatever reason. xD

 

[Martin]

I really want the physical game, but if I can't get it delivered to me next Friday, then I might just get it from the UK eShop on the Friday instead of waiting until the next week.

The only time I really do digital downloads is for music. Otherwise, I go for the solid case and cartridge. It would feel less rewarding for me if I just turned on my 3DS and bought it. I also don't know if or think you get a Club Nintendo PIN# if you download it. I like getting goodies.

I agree I'm the same way too, but I don't mind buying digital from Steam, PSN, and XBL networks. All your digital purchases are safe through your account. Now Nintendo on the other hand uses a system based method, so if your system dies or is lost/stolen your out of luck sadly. If that wasn't the case I would have been happy to go with the digital copy for the convenience factor.

If you link your system with your Club Nintendo account it'll register automatically and the survey will show up in your to-do queue right away. =)

Ah thank you for removing my doubt! ^_^ I do happen to have an account linked but didn't know about that. Regardless, I already put 5 bucks for my copy at Gamestop. $5 already invested!
