Stra wars battlefront disc vs digital download?

[cmaxholmes]

Hi guys,
I went to my local game store today to pick up a pc copy of star wars battlefront. I went in, and they had run out of pc copies. They said i could order one in for me, and i said "no thanks ill just download it off origin". But then the guy said that the digital copy was glitchy and that the disc copy wasnt. Is this guy trying to make me buy it or is the digital download buggy?
Cheers guys

There is no difference between digital and physical copy of a game except that you need to download the digital copy. Stores always try to make you buy things from them.

What a load of crap! Glitchy!! There's absolutely no difference, like Samat said.

BTW, I downloaded the Ultimate Edition via Origin and no problems so far, all going good!

You can safely go for it.

Battlefront doesn't even come on a disc, the physical copy is just a box with a download code in it as EA is now too cheap to print DVDs. You might as well buy it digitally.

Yep I was going to say that even the retail version is just a box with a code in it that you can redeem on Origin. Either way you are getting the exact same download from Origin.

Even games that still include a disc often only have 1 DVD that can hold about 8GB of data when their installs are 30GB+ these days. There is very little reason to buy disc based versions of PC games unless you just want the box shelf or a retailer is discounting it heavily to make space in their store.

I heard the game is dead on pc? How long does it take to find a game? is it worth it?

Who said it was dead? I've been consistently playing once or twice per week since release and I've never had trouble finding a game.
