Will you go Digital Download only, next-gen?

I will stay mostly physical. With my PC, I get physical games whenever they have Steamworks support, so there I get the nice box to sit on my shelf and convenience that comes with Steam

While I would love for Sony to have the same approach, what with used games they almost certainly won't, but I will still be staying physical for consoles. I just love having the boxes in a nice collection even though it is probably less practical

Yes. This would be the better of the two. Origin and steamworks games do what I love. You can buy your phsycial copy. But can also register the key and install the game from the disc (please don't say downloading games like GTA4 is a walk in the park). But don't need the disc in the drive. Nor have the program to be active. You have your perminate safe backup. You can't rely on these services to still be there for decades. Plus, I want to own what I buy. And, what are the actors/creators gonna sign? My ipad?

There are a few issues with this:

1. No used games

2. You don't actually get the security of having your own stuff, the discs are worthless without access to the Origin or Steam servers

But I like it personally
