In theory downloads can last longer, as long as they are transferred and backed up properly. It's the transference that's important, however: otherwise, the download is only as durable as the media it's stored on.

The DRM-encumbrance of most download systems negates this advantage: you can't transfer the download at all, and so you lose the durability. With machine failure rates being what they are, this makes downloads a lot more fragile than physical media.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
