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

Yeah, because everyone likes exactly the same things, and should follow your opinion or be branded as lazy

Digital is personally more convenient for me, how is that laziness? I never said everyone should go fully digital either. And, believe it or not, in the real world people do have kids and pets that can cause damage. 

I simply stated that is the excuses I heard. I would also say there is very little competition as a plus for physical content. How many sources can you buy digital from? They all lead to the same network for the same price. Sony has flash sales and such but for games that were discounted many months ago. You can buy from different competition such as Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, Ebay, or by a friend.

I have two kids. I am responsible. If your a good parent, you should be watching them and have your games out of reach or being taught not to mess with those things. I have a huge collection. They never touch it. I have a girl that just turned 5 and one that turns 3 next month. I know all about kids getting into things.

Do your kids play videogames? What would you do if they wanted to play some of the same games as you? Would you not let them touch the discs or take them to their friends' houses, in fear that they may break or scratch them?

I don't have any children, since I'm just a lowly university student currently. However, I remember that when my brother and I were young, we would play tons of games, taking them to our friends' houses and such. Sometimes a disc would get a bit scravhed. Not unplayable, but scrateched. It happens, no matter how responsible you try to be.

My almost 3 and just turned 5 years old? No. Of course they don't play video games. First I would teach them (at a older age) to be responsible if they borrow them or anything of mine. It is important to be a good parent. Second I wouldn't let them borrow them anyway because I wouldn't allow that regardless....well maybe under some circumstances. Lastly, blu-ray discs are very resistant to scratches. You need to beat them up pretty bad to make them unplayable.  They can take a heavier beating than a standard dvd or music cd.
