This is a Nintendo thread but as a consumer, the same question applies. On the Playstation Vita, any game you buy at retail can be purchased via the Playstation Store. Is it riskier to go retail or is it riskier to buy the digital copy? With the retail copy, you have something physical that you can share, sell, and account for. Then again, if you break it or lose it, it's gone. With a digital copy, you can lose your hardware or delete the data but your game is always there to download and play as long as you have access to your ID.....until the servers are no longer available.
So, again, is downloadable less of a risk than a retail release?
