Buy the game digitally or physical?

Digital, 2 reasons: first of all, I get kinda excited when checking compulsively if the game has already downloaded or not;
second, I can pretend that I'm a mature, well-organised adult who is extremely efficient at clutter control

Disk all the way...i like to see my collection.

I'll be going with the physical edition. my monthly data cap is crap so it'd take a week to download it.

This is a trick question for me because I already pre-ordered my Super Digital Deluxe copy weeks ago.

Disks, I love actually owning physical copies of all my media (games, movies, TV shows, music, comics, and novels) I don't want to be at the mercy of multi-national corporations who can disable my access to my digital media anytime they see fit or get into hissy fit with other multi-national corporations, than I already am.

Plus if I don't like a game/movie/TV show/music (or whatever) I can take it back get a refund, re-sell, donate it to charity, use the disk as a coaster, or simply throw it away. In other words I can get money and a lot more satisfaction than just hitting the delete option (which isn't as much fun as any above options are for me). I also can play my Blu-Rays on Xbox One, PS4, PS3, and I can also play just DVDs on original Xbox, Xbox 360, PC, and my dad's DVD player.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not against digital download I buy many TV shows off the MS store and watch them on Xbox One and Xbox 360 but if I wanted to watch Agent Carter season 1 for example, which I bought through the MS store, I can only watch it my Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC, but if I want to watch it on my PS4 or PS3 then I'm going to have buy it through the PS store or buy the series on Blu-Ray or DVD. 

I buy movies and TV shows off the MS store all the time but generally speaking they're either films I haven't seen before that are so I can see them before I buy I them on disk or their or their films that have proven to be a pain in ass for me to find and to buy on Blu-Ray and/or DVD and TV shows like the current seasons of Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, The Arrow, The Flash, and Dr. Who that I don't want wait a year for they become available on Blu-Ray/DVD, Netflix, Amazon Video, or other streaming services.

I also plan to buy any game that has a disk even if I own digital copy like Tomb Raider: The Definition Edition on Xbox One and Transformers: Devastation on PS4, because I don't trust MS and Sony not screw me out of my free games if I forget to renew Xbox Live Gold and Playstation Plus accounts on time.  


If that is too rambling or if you think it's TL;DR: Physical media gives me a sense of the media being my property while digital media does not.



   

Actually, you won't ever buy it on Steam, seeing as it's Origin exclusive.

Digital via Origin... cause you can't get EA games on Steam.

None of the above.

I'm old and have learned by experience. I've bought digital. 

Incidentally, for console users, particularly in a multi-gamer household,
how often does the disk end up back in the box, or does it get that upside-down flip on top of something, or gets lost, hmmm?

I'll buy it on steam Origin, with a huge discount, in the end of 2017.

Digitally. If I get accepted into the MP beta, and I like the gameplay enough, I'll want to be playing more of the game as soon as it becomes available. Plus my circadian rhythm is pretty much a complete 180 from how it should be, so I'll be wide awake at midnight.
