I was HUGE on only buying a physical copy of the game for the same reasons that people posted in this thread. However, I prefer getting a digital copy of the game if my friend wants to play the game as well. Here's why:

I have since liked buying digital games because playstation offers you to share your digital game library with one other user. Example: My friend and I both wanted to play Payday 2 right when it came out, so we bought the game digitally. That means that I do not own Payday 2, but rather own the rights to download a copy of the game. I cannot resell it, but I can loan it to another friend. How? I just simply go online and type in that I no longer want to share games with my friend...and just put in the user ID of my other friend.

But then you say that I cannot sell my game. Well I feel that the money that I saved by splitting the cost with my friend more than justifies the resale value that I would get at my local Gamestop.
