This is why I dont buy digital games from Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. Physical copies ftw!

Pretty much exactly what I have to say about the situation.

I don't buy games digitally unless they're digital-only games.  And even then, if there's a physical copy available (for example, things for Vita releasing physically in USA and digitally in Europe) I'll probably just import.

So long as they aren't tied to an online check-in system they'll be playable a long way into the future so long as I own the physical copies.

The exception to this is that I've bought a few PSP games digitally on Vita, rather than buying them on UMD which isn't compatible.  And I concede that I'm just going with it in that case.  I don't mind paying £3.19 for a PSP game in a sale and risk losing it in the future.  If I was spending £40 on a game, it would be a different story.
