Download vs. Blu-Ray: The Official Poll

If you have purchased the game in Europe, what medium did you choose: PSN download or Blu-Ray disc? If you're in north America, which edition do you intend to purchase when the it is released on April 17?

Purchased the blu-ray disc (Did the same for the japanese version aswell)

Blu ray disc as you can physically carry the disc instead of the whole ps3 to your friends house to play at parties =)

The physical blu-ray disc, if the hard drive buggars up then at least you can reinstall it again with it rather than having to redownload everything.

Blu-Ray for me, always enjoyed the cases and having them on display.

Plus, I somehow take comfort in the fact that it's something physical. Not to mention that with the disc, you can take it for example to a friend's house to play the game on his console.

Blu-ray, just love to 'see' it, collections, a download feels like 'i have bought air'

I'll get it in Blu-Ray so I can trade in some used games towards it.

Bluray disc for me. Only way to go. Not a fan of full down loadable games.

got the Japanese blu-ray and will get the US blu-ray as well.

blu ray for me. It was actually 10 dollars cheaper than the psn download.

If they don't do an update for the Asian\HK version, then i intend to purchase the US Blu-Ray version.

Blu-Ray all the way!

Mine has been pre-ordered for a while.

Call me crazy, but I like to have something tangible when I pay money for a game. Not just data on my HDD.

Blu ray here so I guess PSN download's price have to drop significantly before I consider it as an alternative

trade value is a key issue

blu-ray ftw! Adds to my library of movies and games, will become an artifact in the future, and just having a hard copy of it feels better.

Delphic Reason

Blu-Ray all the way!

Crazy? You're normal for thinking that. As consumers I think we tend to want to be able to buy something tangible!

I bought the PSN version, I'm really running out of room for yet more disc cases. Plus I don't have to switch the discs if I want to play something different, its just there.

I bought both...

I'll be buying it on BR when its released in usa.

The Blu-Ray and the download is the same, right? I don't have a good enough connection to download the game, so i'd go for the disc if i had a ps3.

All about the BD.

As Beerz and a few others said, there's just something nice about having a disc in your collection!

Plus it means you get Behind the apex too!

I bought the PS3 starterpack which includes GT5:P
