Thalys ticketless or Digital homeprint ?

I want to buy Thalys train ticket from Paris to Brussels on their website. Before I make the payment they ask me how do I want to get my ticket. Two of the choices are "Thalys Ticketless" and "Digital Homeprint". Are they the same? Which one should I choose? Please advise. Thanks!

explanation is on their website

http://www.thalys.com/fr/en/services...r-train-ticket

under the "Book you ticket online" drop down option

Home print is self explanatory

Ticketless is when they'll send a text message to your mobile phone, or you can present the email confirmation; but you'll need to show supporting ID when the ticket inspector asks for it

I'd go for printing the ticket yourself, but the choice is yours!

Thank you for your reply. I think I'll print the ticket myself. I will buy the ticket from Paris to Brussels online in advance. Do I need to buy the train ticket from Brussels to Bruges in advance or can I just buy it at the train station? Will the price be a big difference? We only have one and half day in Brussels and then we will fly back home so we don't know if we will have time to go to Bruges.

For Brussels to Bruges just buy at the station - there won't be a big difference (if any). and then you're not committed to going to Bruges
