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.
Not when I have the game preloaded and ready to launch the minute it goes live you can't.
Also, even with physical copies, you have to wait for the game to install from disk (about 15 minutes), and then install the now standard day-one patch. With preloading being a thing now, digital preorders may be the only way to be able to play a game as soon as it's released.
