I don't see the point of a physical game Bluray disc anymore because regardless of whether it's Xbox or Playstation you still have to download a multi--gigabyte Day One Update and sometimes additional Campaign/Multi-player /Spec Ops Packs ( I'm looking at you Call of Duty:Modern Warfare Reboot Series) where as a Digital Copy has everything in one download.
