lol, i think you hit it in the first reply,.. digital still can't be resold.
i have never sold back any games except the couple i included with my 360 when i sold that off. for me i don't really value the ability to resell games and therefore more fully appreciate the conviences that digital offers. but if you want to resell your games than physical is the only way to go still.
OT - i think the key point is the question of "can i still play this game in 20 years if i want to". with physical the answer is certainly yes while with digital the answer is more of a maybe. who knows if sony or ms will allow me to redownload a game from their servers in 20 years. i can keep some of my games forever on my HDD but 500 Gb isn't going to be enough to hold all of my games so there are certainly games i could lose.
but you know what,.. i dont' fucking care. i still have my nes, snes, n64, gc and i've never bring them out. hell,.. i don't even think i could play those older systems anymore because my tv only has HDMI in. well,. maybe my gc as my second tv has composite inputs but meh. i always want to play the newest games so i just don't care about the "20 years" idea. the hand full of games still worth playing in 20 years will be ported or remastered to the new systems and i'll rebuy them there if i really have to play them. it's worth the few bucks to buy a remaster to not have to fuck around with generations of irrelavent technology, imo.
