since my 3ds has very limited space..... Physical.
 
I think I'm gonna get a digital copy. I find video game cases just take up room now, and it'd be nice to have the game always on my 3DS.
 
Digital copy. The game boxes take up room and I don't display them.
 
For me, it'll be a physical copy. This is because if I had digital, and the 3DS broke, all my progress would be lost. I wouldnt get both physical and digital, as it'd be hard to maintain two towns.
(on a side and unrelated note, this is the first time I've been back to TBT forum since I forgot my password back in 2008, its goods to be back, and I hope to play AC;NL online with some of you once its out in europe)
 
I pre-ordered a physical copy, which I would prefer, but if the digital copies become available earlier then I'd get one.
 
I'm buying 2 copies but I want my main copy to be digital. If I bought the physical copy as well, would that be a different town if I've downloaded it digitally as well? Does that make sense? Basically I wanna know if I buy it digitally and physically and play on same 3DS will I have 2 separate towns? I'm like 99% sure I will but I just wanna check.

Yes it will be two completely different towns/save files. The digital copy saves to the SD card whereas the physical copy saves to the game cartridge. Just so you know though you are unable to have two towns by using only one digital copy and multiple SD cards.
 
Physically for me. I don't mind carrying the card with me everywhere I go. I also enjoy reading the booklet it comes with and seeing the pictures in it, too. Helpful tips I can read without having to search for an answer to things.
 
I'm getting a physical copy. Digital is a smart idea and has it's own benefits but nothing beats having a hard copy. I will never download big games like this.
 
Physical Copy 100%!
Can't wait to get up the day it comes out, rush into the nearest game shop, buy it then go home and play it <3
 
I want to get it physically but if i got it digitally i could get it at midnight of the release. There is good and bad things for both physical and digital...
Either as long as I can get the game, im not overall fussed.

But if you get it at midnight, nothing would be open and your town would be dark unless you changed the time to a few hours later :O

That is true, for me i dont mind that since once i pick up fruit, shells and anything that falls from trees will sleep and wake in the morning knowing i have the game :)
 
Why are so many people getting digital and physical games so they can make two towns? What is the benefit in that?
