I don't hate digital, but I surely prefer physical, for all the reason stated...
Anyway, we who love physical games, are also in an ambiguous situation, because lots of games tend to get patched through an online download, and sometimes more than once...
So, the situation is that we really own/possess/collect only the 1.0 version of the software we buy. From the first patch or DLC on, we face the same problems we stated for any full digital download (can't safely preserve, can't resell, eats memory, etc...)
For example, I forsee that Freedom Wars, for the type of game it is, is going to be heavily patched, updated and expanded through downloads as it goes on. Another example: God Eater 2 online battle mode isn't included in the physical cart itself.
