Steam? He's talking about V, and PS3 Digital, not PC IV with Steam.

.... and I am officially an idiot. Thanks for correcting me. Think I need a coffee refill. 

I prefer Disc. Even though Digital can technically never be lost, disc seems a little better. Most games are stored on disc, taking up less hard drive space. They take less time to download. The only downside is they can be lost or scratched to death.

This. I will always choose disc on console for some reason. 

Disk, digital takes up too much space.

But loading times will be better. It's always a balance.

Yeah that is true.

You could always install the game to the HDD (atleast it's possible on the Xbox, not an expert in Playstation) to reduce loading time though. 

According to an Xbox rep I spoke with a few days ago, there's been some bugs found with the GoD version, mainly your system crashing while downloading or installing. The 360 disc version is normally the better choice, however the same rep also told me that the game requires a mandatory 8GB install from the two discs. I guess it would depend on which you prefer, but owning a physical copy will always trump digital.

digital for sure..i preordered mine beginning of sept...so nice not having to put in discs all the time and its there if you get a new ps3...anothing thing is that sometimes the dics will lag at certain parts of the game or a cut scene will freeze for a few seconds while digital doesn't have that problem..nice and smooth
