A major part of the digital/physical debate that people forget

That's what I'm getting at, with going only digital. My ps3 games I have on disc should last my whole life time. I should always be able to find a ps3 should my system fail, and it will eventually, my fat 60gig did. If I were all digital, who knows how long Sony will have those games online to download. Not to mention the time it would take to download everything again, should it be possible to get it all.

I always assumed you can make backups of your games on other HDDs on PS3, but correct me if I'm wrong. I know you can swap HDDs.

As long as you restore to the same ps3. There are games and specifically lots of DLC that is copy protected that won't restore to a new ps3. You often have to download them again.

Stuff like you mentioned about Donkey Kong Country games being taken off is a whole other issue. Somethin similar happened with the Crash Bandicoot games being able to play them on ps vita. One day they were in the store and I transfered them to the vita and then at some point they took them off and now people that didn't get them at the time can't play them on vita. The Donkey Kong Country games are classics on snes, the fact that they took them off of the store sucks.
