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)



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)

Good post man. Reasons like this is why digital is not going to be taking off anytime soon. Digital is almost always more expensive when compared to physical and not just by a little! Dead Space 3 is 70 euros on PSN Vs. 20 euro physical! Also you can compare for prices with physical, but digital has only one or two places where you can buy it from.
