1.  Aside from Nintendo consoles, consoles from this past gen aren't known for being reliable, so say you bought all your games digitally then Microsoft/Sony shut down the servers for the 360/PS3 then your console breaks.  You basically just lost all your games and have no way of ever getting them back.

2.  If your harddrive if full, and lets face it they get full pretty quick, and you have to delete a game to make room for another one, then when they shut down the servers you can never play those games you deleted again because you didn't have the space. 


While I do prefer physically too, this is absurd. At least in the case of the 360, you can make a backup copy of your games and upload it on your PC. And I doubt all indies can make up for more than 60 GBs of space. (Which some 360 haven't got, yeah, but most of them nowadays are equipped with 250GB).


You can't just copy your digital games off your 360, you have to transfer the liscence which requires the servers to be online.  Also if you buy ALL your games digitally then even 250GB can fill up quick.
