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)



You're on the  Disc Switch Definition workout plan too? I'm about to hulk out out my shirt from playing so many different freaking games! I flexed my pecs the other day and my girlfriend's panties exploded!

Seriously though, a mixture of both for me. Depends on which buying option offers the better deal or incentive at the time.  It'll probably be mostly retail, but I'm one of those people that has an apartment living room the size of a zoo cage, plus we have books and furniture to keep up with. Since I never sell games, space is becoming an issue.
