doesn't XBL allow preload? (Gaming)

could've sworn i downloaded Halo 5 early, even though there was a big day 1 update that i had to download as well.

I could see possibly getting a disc for some games. Games like Assassin's creed or GTA are just too damn long, and i have no intention of replaying them (or getting 100% completion). I could get the discount, burn through the campaign, and resale them.

I could also see buying games that i want to keep forever, like Halo. There's really no point in buying Destiny on a disk, since you absolutely have to be connected to a server for it to work. Once the servers are turned off, there will be no playing for nostalgia's sake 20 years from now; the game won't work. In that case, might as well go digital and not have to worry about swapping discs.
