Nope and i never will. There's many more benefits to having physical media. Plus i just like the clutter of having games everywhere! 
Who has gone full digital this gen please?
- Thread starter badmonk
- Start date
I might when I get around to an X1 depending on the options available for a hard drive. Pretty much, if I'm gonna have to essentially download the game anyway, then I don't have too much reason to buy a game beyond it having really good cover art.
The experience is much better digital. The clutter, having to get up to change discs, making sure your discs are somewhere safe so kids don't mess them up, etc.
Cost savings is over-rated. If you've already saved hundreds buying and selling them back, then you've probably over-spent by hundreds. If you're selling many games back quickly enough to recoup the majority of the cost, sounds like you should just be renting instead.
I found last gen that the only games I sold quickly enough to recoup much cost on were mistakes in general. I don't make that many mistakes anymore.
For second tier used bargain bin games, they'll be cheap digital once this gen gets rolling. Bought many 360 games cheap digitally. A service like EA Access and Xbox Gold will provide enough second tier games anyways.

Does anyone know what the typical difference between physical install and digital sizes? (if any?)

Full digital because I hate cluttering my apartment with useless plastic.
Went all digital.
*No clutter
*Can download games when I'm away from home
*Can start any game by simply saying its name (after I'm done playing a different game, watching a TV show, or a movie; Xbox One)
*Can instantly jump into a lobby after getting an invite for any game I own
*Pre-loading (pre-order games digitally and they are on my console weeks before release; they unlock at midnight and I get to play them instantly without having to go out to a midnight retail launch event)
*EA Access (get EA games at a discount and play them before retail release)
*Can share games with my brother (who also has an Xbox One) while being able to play against each other -- I set his Xbox as my home Xbox and he gets all of my games for free; he can play them without paying for them and we can play the same games at the same time
Never going back to physical on a non-Nintendo platform.

More and more I play my X1 & PS4 the more I am sooooo happy I went digital. Of course playing PC games, we have had this feature for years but now with consoles it's even more awesome!!
Digital ftw!
Digital ftw!

I'm tempted to say those idiots with more money than sense. but to each, there own... i guess.

As my library gets bigger, I love digital even more. I don't have a stack of games, instead my entire library is pinned to my X1 home screen. Recent games are right on the home screen. Combined with voice commands it is nice on a work night where time is short to be able to load things up before I even sit down to play. It may only save a minute or two, but it just feels nice (I'm used to Steam on PC too so using disks seems so wrong)
Not when its 2 games for price of one
I buy a game and my son gets it for free
I'm full digital and loving it. We recently moved, my elder son is terrible about keeping discs either in their cases or at least in the general collection of the games, and there has been no hassle about playing whatever we have whenever we want to and have time to (with the exception of not interrupting the younger boys' Blues Clues time, of course). I could see maybe picking up games that don't really interest me a whole lot used on disc at some point (maybe Ryse, for example, when I go get my son a 2DS for Christmas), but any game that I am purchasing for the long haul is not going to be on disc. This generation I'm all about ditching Disc Enforced Rights Policing - I buy the game, I own the game, I don't have to prove it with a freaking disc every time I want to play it.
