Indiana Jones’s and Doom are both stub disks. If Sony can use two disks you can too!

You own an Xbox and you buy games? Wtf man just get Gamepass. It would have paid for itself already with just those two games and maybe one or two smaller releases.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Uh, you can get them for free from the library. Game pass if hella expensive. And yeah, I don’t do digital.

That’s hell of a nice library that has games available, on launch no less.

I don’t even know if there’s a library in a 3 hour radius from me.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It just the city library’s. Have you checked out yours, I know each city will vary but it’s worth a shot.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t live in what I would call a city, and we don’t have a library.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ah damn. Do you at least have decent internet for those huge files?

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I can’t complain. I downloaded Oblivion Remaster in like 4 hours I think? Maybe less.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago

Yikes. Well, at least your able to access games and that’s the important thing.

It's not expensive. I've never paid more than $10/month for ultimate. Every holiday season there's deals on cards and I stock up for the year.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Even if it was considered cheap, why subscribe to a rotating library that you may or may not enjoy when you can buy your own and enjoy they at your own leisure whenever you want. I guess if you want to buy it for a month and play a specific launch title on it it makes sense - Digital renting.

Because for about $500 I got to play all of the games on this list, and this doesn't include several dozen other games I tried but didn't play for long.

Most of these I wouldn't have bought if I didn't have access to them in a library.

That's more expensive than free.

You'll own nothing and be happy

I don’t care to own mass consumption media to be honest. Maybe some movies.

In my opinion the only media really worth owning is books and even then not all books are worth the paper they are printed on, so those might be best kept on an ebook.

I rather put my money in silly things like appreciating assets.
