Talking about consoles:
Physical! Digital for me has not a single advantage.
I can resell it.
I can collect it.
Physical has actual value
I can gift it to friends when I dont need it anymore
It costs less than the digital version most of the time.
I can still play it in 10 years (digital services can shut down)
It provides a price war (digital only PSN etc is just Sony/MS/NIntendo)
More people can keep their jobs if I buy physical because more companies are involved.
etc etc.
The only Digital advantages I could see are
If my apartment is as big as cage in a Zoo I can save space with digital games.
I can be lazy (and become fat because I dont have to stand up to swap the game disks)
But since even a small apartment can store several hundred games in a small sideboard and motion is healthy/Lazyness is stupid those two are negligible
For steam
I also prefer physical because It gives me the same advantages the digital version gives me. But when a game like DeusEx is like 3 bucks on steam I buy the game Digital (takes a huge amount of luck and time to find physical copies for 3 bucks)
