    Its always been a toss up with me. Physical means that if something ever happens to one of the companies involved I don't have too worry about maybe never being able to play my games again. It also means that some games that may need a slightly more capable machine could just have the parts added to them if they are a cartridge. Although if they break I have to either mail it in for a replacement or buy a new one altogether. Digital means that it takes up no physical space, and that I can put it onto physical media if I choose and more than likely still have it work fine. Downside is that I more than likely have to be connected to the internet to use it.

    I love the feeling of having a physical copy, but digitals take the cake if only for pure convenience. The steam system is perfect for most gamers.

    I like digital. Makes things easy. One click, pay download and go. Simple. Its nice when buying online games that aren't live yet to, so you can play the min servers go live instead of 2 hrs after they go live cause you had to go wait in the store for the midnight release. But, I prefer a hard copy. It's nice to know I have that back up disc, and, there's just something about waiting in line with a bunch of other gamers to get that late night copy. You meet people. It's pretty cool to see who all else plays your game in your area.

    I've found myself going for digital copies these days, I blame myself for being too lazy to visit a proper brick and mortar store to pick up a physical copy.

    I like digital copies, but I have learned that you can lose them so easily, like I lost one of my gmail accounts without any warning, so I am not in love with them.
