Recently, many new members of the Switch family asked this question: "to buy a game, you need to choose a physical version or a digital version. What's the difference between the two? "So today, I'd like to sort out the advantages and disadvantages of Switch game physical version and digital version.
There are two carriers of the game on the Switch platform: physical card and digital download. Basically, all the games released on the Switch have digital versions, and most of the first party and third-party masterpieces will also release physical cards at the time of release.
Some of the games will be accompanied by physical special items when they are sold, such as the storage bag of "Ring Fit Adventure", "Dragon Quest 11S", "Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE ", etc. Secondly, it can be collected. Sometimes there is a sneak situation in the physical card belt. You can play the game before unlocking the digital version.
In addition to the above advantages, there are also obvious disadvantages of physical card tape. When playing, the card tape needs to be changed frequently. When not playing, it needs to be well stored. If the whole card tape box is lost, it is even more costly.
The biggest advantage of the digital game over the physical version is that it saves the time of inserting and changing the card belt back and forth. If you want to play another game, you just need to quit the current game and click the game you want to play directly, which is very convenient. Secondly, we can start with low price when some manufacturers do discount promotion. In addition to third-party games, Nintendo's first party works can also be purchased through membership coupons or discount coupons.
But digital games have disadvantages besides convenience and cheapness. First of all, it's natural that you can't sell the second-hand game back, and the game you buy is bound to your account. Of course, don't believe those who sell game accounts. They are greedy and cheap, and suffer great losses. Secondly, if discount is not considered, the price of digital game is higher than that of physical card in most cases. Third, if you buy a lot of digital games, you need to buy a large SD card. At present, the binding of switch game console still needs to be unbound through the machine ontology. So if the machine is damaged and cannot be started to log in to eshop, it may need to be sent for repair. Of course, this is a very small probability situation, which will not occur if it is used normally.
