late to the party but the NFL app is truly awesome on this thing.

Yeah I was on it yesterday it's absolutely stacked with content. I need them to add ESPN FF, though.

I need some opinions from you all. Should I buy games in disc form or just download them from the microsoft store?

It's a matter of personal tastes and how fast your internet speed is.

Personally I prefer hard copies over digital. With hard copies I can play any game I have anytime I want where as with digital you can only keep like 10 games because they all take 40-50 gigs of space so if you want to play anything else you have to redownload the game which depending on your internet can take a couple days.

With digital, you don't have to worry about finding room to store them all like you do with hard copies. However if something happens and you get banned from XBL or your account gets hacked and you lose the account, you lose all of your games because they are tied to your account.

Hard copy also allows you to trade in games

This is a good point I hadn't even thought of. I don't forsee myself being banned but just in case
That being said though, discs and download don't matter when it comes to space since they both take up the same amount of space in the hard drive.

Only reason I'm contemplating it is because of the ability to switch between games instantaneously with digital downloads.

While true they take the same space, when you have the disc most of the data that is transferred to the HD comes from it. When you have a digital download, it all comes from the wire.

When you have speeds like I do, it could take multiple days to download one game. So it's a real bummer if you need to redownload a game if you deleted it.

Yea when I download a 10GB game from steam it takes about 9 hours. So assuming in a perfect world if the speeds were to stay consistent I would be done with the average XB1 game in a little over a day.

Yea, makes sense. Sucks it takes such a long time
