There's just something about physical copies. Each box I put on the shelf feels like a trophy, especially when it has a physical manual. I completely understand why you'd get digital though. Not too much space, a game you'll want immediate access to, and why in God's name would you ever sell it? Also, that 10% eShop credit is very tempting...
But then if we all bought it digitally, this site wouldn't exist...so my silly sentimentality over having a physical object to hold is saving this site! I do wonder what will happen to this site when we all start buying digital. Once the potential consumer rights issues are hammered out and better ways to store, share, lend, and show off your games come around, I think everyone will switch to digital, and hopefully this site and other sales tracking services can figure out a way to track digital sales.
