The major play with me and digital, other than availability, is price. Disregarding that the majority of the games I buy are download-only (though not the majority of the dough I spend), if the price of the digital game is significantly enough cheaper, than digital it is.

Which console it is also plays a part, as I rather have a physical copy of a Nintendo game than Sony (and I don't give a flying weasel about owning a physical PC game).

Lastly, the type of game. If it's a game I play in bursts over a large number of days, than having the digital version is somewhat tempting, especially for a handheld.
