Proof that Pre-orders for Betas are crap! (Destiny)

I go completely digital which of course does not require delivery time.

You have to download it… that counts as delivery time does it not? I can still run to my favorite game store, buy a disc, and be back way before a 50GB game is done downloading.

I can't. (Plus, I have to get in my car, drive 5 miles, park, go into a crowded mall, wait in line to pay, find my car, drive home 5 miles (in traffic, both ways), and then deal with swapping discs every time I want to change games. For digital downloads, I have to spend about 3 minutes navigating menus and pressing buttons, then I can swap my monitor back over to my computer and go back to work, and all that time I'd be sitting in traffic and depreciating the value of my car I can actually be MAKING money.

I'd be completely digital (when it's possible) even if pre-orders didn't exist, because they're 100000000% more convenient in my life, for the entire life of the game.
