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)

You missed off an obvious one...
If you sell it, you will need to re-buy it to play it in a few years.
But its your choice and your own habits will drive it which is fair enough. None of your concerns, concern me though.
(oh and now swapping disks is good again? for fitness.... lmao)

Well sure I cant play in 10 years unless I rebuy it but in case I need money I can sell it. If I dont need money I can keep it the OPTION to do what I want is the advantage.
And rebuying is not a big deal (thanks to online shops) e.g. I bought halo 3 for 15 sold for 20 a few years later and rebought for 5 another year later :)
Swapping as in playing another game. Swapping for the same game is somewhat dumb. It does not bother me to stand up every 20 hours or so and change the game I mean I still have to leave my bed and move to the living room or have to go to the toilet so moving to the console once in a while is nothing.
