IMO console gaming already has DRM which is bound by hardware. So getting digital is not a wise idea. When PS / Xbox servers will be closed for PS3 / Xbox 360 those digital games cant be downloaded. Get retail copy in consoles. Go digital with steam.

You can always do a back-up copy of the data of your 360/PS3's HDD info on your PC, just in case severs one day close, so the data stored in your hard drive will be forever safe; no games lost.

 

Can't say the same with PS4/Xbox One. I think the digital model on last-gen consoles was fine.

1. I dont trust Sony / MS / Ninty with digital. Their price is not right compared to steam. Just look at them.

2. Still, in steam even if the hardware dies there is no tension. But in consoles its an issue despite having backup. This is why I havent purchased PS+ or digital stuffs from PSN.

3. I know many people who lost lots of digital games because their accounts were suspended because of hacking. Saw a guy who playfire who lost £2000 games because his account was compromised.

4. I am old fashioned. The appeal of owning retail copy is just awesome. None can replace it.
