INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
As the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite continue to sell out, demand for its games have also increased considerably
The situation is bad enough that some retailers in both the US and UK are running out of physical copies of the year's biggest exclusive
the odds for Animal Crossing, especially when you can buy the game digitally for a more acceptable price and get the game without waiting
Crossing: New Horizons: get the game right now, in digital or physical copiesIf you're happy to go digital, and you've got an internet
AmazonAmazon US is out of stock on physical copies as we write this, but digital copies are available

DealPhysical copies of Animal Crossing: New Horizons are available at some US and UK retailers, just not everywhere, and stock is sporadic
The game will eventually come back in stock everywhere, and they'll be easier to restock than the console itself given that they're just
game cards in plastic boxes
you really need to have a physical copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, GameStop still has them in-stock to ship at the retail
in stock at the recommended retail price
In most cases, retailers will email you the code straight after purchase, and all you have to do is access the Nintendo Store on your Switch
or Switch Lite, and select 'Redeem code' from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen
The only considerations are whether you've got enough storage space for the game (6.4GB of free space is required) and an internet
is added to your account and it'll download right away, assuming you have the storage space
digitally?Buying a game and having it delivered to you straight away is so convenient
Physical copies are great for collectors and the cases look nice, plus retailers can set competitive prices for physical copies, but if you
just want to play a game, it's hard to go back from instant downloads.The big drawback in forgoing physical is you won't be able to loan
out your cartridge to a friend or resell the game when you're done with it
If your friends all pick up their own copy (and they should, if you all want to play together), this is less of an issue.The only other
possible, distant concern with buying a game digitally instead of physically is that, one day, Nintendo could theoretically decide to turn
off the digital store on Switch
Nintendo did this very thing with the Wii and DSi digital storefronts, and Nintendo is planning to turn off the ability to redownload Wii
unifying of Nintendo's various online operations on Switch and 3DS means there'll be more continuity to the software you own in future
