Pretty simple question. Is downloading my games better or is using an optical drive?
And if I'm using an optical drive is it worth getting a Blu-Ray Optical Drive and buying drivers from Oneblue? (I don't have a Blu-Ray player so my gaming PC handling that would be neat)
Finally if an optical drive is better is there a acknowledged optical drive I should go with?
As always thanks for any advice.

All new games do when you put in a physical disk is download the game anyway, so its pretty much a wash except its much easier dealing with downloaded games....(you cant loose them) a blu-ray drive is worth it if you want to play blu-rays......and in general unless its really old all optical drives are the same

Some games won't fit on a CD eg GTAV - 60GB. But less than 5GB should. And save you the wait time (though there's usually updates) and data usage.

Most any DVD drive is cheap and OK these days.
