HDDs are cheap as hell. And you are holding the box/disc/stuff while playing a game? I hold the game controller or my hands are resting on the keyboard and mouse. ;)

Would it be a good substitute holding the retail box of another game while playing a digital game? ;)

we will talk about this subject after 20 years than we will see if you stil play your digital games on you console.

i know i will physical  ofc.

We don't know the future. Maybe you are still happy with your physical decision in 20 years, maybe a lot of your PS1 retail games (and other systems using optical discs) will suffer from disc rot while digital PS1 games (which have already the advantage to be playable on the go in PSPs and Vitas) still work.

Even if Sony goes bankrupt: you can backup these digital games on HDDs or other mass storage media and restore them on the device. Your backup argument in the video "the HDD won't last 50 years" has a big flaw: you can backup the data to more than one mass storage and you can copy/transfer these backups to another (and probably much bigger) HDD if you replace the old one.
