Sony realizes mistakes, the time is still not right for an all digital console!

The time is absolutely right for an all digital console, you just have to actually do it right. The Go was a fantastic idea, Sony just did a poor job of doing.

If you want all digital to be a success, just look at Steam. Make every game available day one, make it cheaper, and have constant sales and bundles. From what I remember of the Go, not all games were there, games weren't day one, and games were as expensive or more than the physical copies. It's no surprise the Go failed.

I would love for them or someone else to give digital distribution only another go because when I travel I hate carrying around 10-20 games.

As someone who owns 75+ titles on Steam, I can say I still prefer and purchase more retail games than Steam games, and have it mean something. Most people still prefer owning a physical copy, because a well-cared-for physical copy is eternal, but a digital copy is only good for as long as it's supported. A few XBLA titles say hello.
