I would like a digital downloadable version.
 
Disc
 
GT5 was disc only and i'm sure GT6 will be as well.
 
Considering the downloadable version of FIFA 13 was almost £60 on the PS Store, whereas the disc retailed for £39, I'd say it isn't a good idea to have a digital download version of GT6, as that would mean Sony can fix the price.
 
I hope there will be a downloadable version because my ps3 doesnt read blu ray's and gt5 very well since a few months!
 
My internet connection is slow.. so disc for me..
 
Does anyone knows how many GB is GT5?

Now I would prefer both to be available Disc and digital,
My reason for digital is I can play mp on two ps3 without buying another disc.
 
It's 11 or 12 with full install of all current patches, 8 without them.

Ok so let's say GT 6 will be as twice or near twice that will be 24 gb. I downloaded Hitman as a free from PS + it is 17 GB.
 
Defo on disc because I have a slow internet connection.

What's your source on that? I put the GT5 disc in my PC and it was around 14GB IIRC.

Given what we've seen and heard of GT6 I doubt it'll be that much bigger.
 
Disc. I like to have a hard copy of these sorts of things.
 
I don't see a reason why both can't be offered - either way, there should be an option to install all game content onto the HDD.
 
Disc for me too. I actually, don't have a reason, other than I prefer a "hard-copy".
 
Titles on PSN are ridiculously expensive, you'd have to be an idiot to buy from on there. I've seen titles like Farcry 3 and Driver going for £59.99 when everyone knows you can pick them up for less than half that online or in store. It boggles the mind really.

They'd never release it as download only though.
 
Disc. I would never buy a game as a digital download only.
 
Considering my horrid download speed, definitely a disk.
 
I just checked again because my memory is poor.
Disc Information:
Status: Complete
State of Last Session: Complete
Erasable: No
Sessions: 1
Sectors: 7,328,416
Size: 15,008,595,968 bytes

BD Disc Information:
Disc Type: BD-ROM
Disc Size: 120mm
Disc Class: 0
Disc Version: 1
Number of Layers: 1
Layer Type: Read Only
DVD Layer Present: No
CD Layer Present: No
Channel Bit Length: 74.50nm (25GB Per Layer)

So the GT5 disc is 13.9778GB. Assets are the biggest fillers of a disc and with only 200 new cars and seven new tracks I can't even see GT6 going over 20GB.
 
Disc for me,but if the price is right I'll consider digital.

Sorry, probably should have pointed out that I was going purely by installation size, didn't think for a second that there'd be 5GB on the disc that wasn't installed... anybody got any ideas what that could be?
 
I wouldn't want to guess on specifics but anything that doesn't need to be loaded quickly I should think.
 
Btw, in these 14GB of GT5 there are intro and outro videos, which are as I remember about 1,5-2 GB at sum
 
Not a fan of the pricing that is done with digital titles on PSN/XBL, so I see no reason to buy it there.

Yes, the main GT5 volume is 11.2GB, there are then three movie files that total 2.43GB.
 
I need a disc with boxart, call me oldschool. They'll probably put together another collector edition, I'll be buying that.
 
Disc and install to HDD is the best option
